I’ve seen this patch of beautiful flowers alongside the Etowah River as I’ve driven to Riverside Park... a few days ago I stopped and was taking pictures when the homeowner turned into his long drive... he said I was welcome to shoot pictures anytime and he encouraged me to pick some flowers too. I keep a pair of garden shears in the Jeep and brought some of them home. This was one of my favorites... I liked the way some of the petals were rolled up. The red color was actually a darker, deep red almost burgundy... I haven’t had much luck with getting reds to appear on screen as they do in real life yet I see some of y’all have flower pictures with gorgeous reds like @koalagardens and many others... I’l love to hear some tips/suggestions. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.
