Yellow Flower by laurentye

Yellow Flower

Was wondering what to take a picture of today, but the problem was solved when Husband walked in the door with some flowers.

I cropped this and increased the contrast. Hopefully the partially cropped petal on the left does not bother everyone as much as it bothers me. But I had to crop it like this. Seriously I had no choice but to crop, or else there was some weird stuff happening in the top left corner.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

* I'm pretty sure I was subconsciously influenced by Simon's (@spthorne) yellow flower today, but hopefully he won't be angry that I borrowed the idea. He doesn't seem like an angry kind of guy, so I think it will be okay with him.
Was the weird stuff in the top left corner a ufo? (unidentified flowery object)

@sabresun lol okay, Matt that just made me actually lol for a very long time. but really in all seriousness, it was indoor fireworks in the top corner. so, for sure had to be cropped out.

Indoor fireworks?

Great contrast. You're so lucky to get flowers on fathers day. :-)

@scooter lol thanks for the flower compliment :) as for the fireworks, I don't want to show off by being the one and only 365-er with a picture of exploding fireworks in my home, so I'd better not lol

You may think this a little strange, but when I was a kid, you actually could buy indoor fireworks. It was a kit with touch papers and small fuses that burnt around in patterns or made coloured smoke burn from cone shaped fireworks. I doubt they'd sell them these days.

@sabresun what???!!! really???! and all this time i thought you made it up. Well now I really do want some, but I think you might be right that they probably are no longer sold. too bad, lol

The black background really makes this flower pop

I really want indoor fireworks now! And how sweet of the hubby to bring you flowers.

@peacerebel thanks Charlene :)

Ah, okay. I thought indoor fireworks sounded a bit....unsafe. So you cropped out something more exciting from this photo. Like something related to what I KNOW was in your box photo. ;)

@meggageg me too! lol i think they would impress my neighbours! and then if something went wrong with them I know that @kammy knows some firemen lol

@jgoldrup hahaha oh my goodness you guys crack me up :D I'm sitting here laughing

@laurentye You'll never guess what? I just did a search and you can still buy them. They were pretty safe though, they sounded more dangerous than they actually were, yet still fun. Here's a link to check them out http://www.fireworksarcade.co.uk/indoor-fireworks.html

He beat me to it. I was totally going to find out how to buy them. I haaaate losing.
June 20th, 2011  
Those ones from my link aren't that great. I think there are better indoor fireworks out there.
June 20th, 2011  
haha Matt @sabresun that is so funny I went to the link and watched the video and somehow it triggered some suppressed memory because I DO have a sort of recollection about the one that left a growing snake-like ash trail. I don't think i ever had any though, maybe saw it on tv or a friend may of had them. But now that you got my hopes up I want ones that really explode with lots of colour. hmmm
June 20th, 2011  
@meggageg but now we know how to get them so it's like we've all won
June 20th, 2011  
This is all so very educational! Indoor fireworks are news to me... Nice photo btw!
June 20th, 2011  
haha, yah, i can pretty much gaurantee you that @spthorne WILL NOT be angry with you, as he does not seem like the type at all! i love this soft looking yellow and how nice of your husband to bring you flowers home !! what a good man :D

Beautiful flower Lauren! As for the posts....now u need to take an indoor fireworks pic. I did use numbered birthday sparklers indoors before. Must use a little caution. Haha!

Great flower shot.
June 20th, 2011  
haha you "borrowed" my idea :-) well "I'm honoured Lauren" :-) Nice shot BTW the DOF is good as some of the petals are out of focus which & looks good. The cropped petal I did ot notice until I read the comment, however I would suggest that you get some slate to get the "total spthorne effect" lol :D
