Rose of Sharon

These just started blooming in Veronica's backyard. I love the biblical name for these beautiful flowers. It is hard to believe I have made it to day 50 of my project! I am really enjoying the project, much more than I ever imagined I would.
Congrats on Day 50! Must be really enjoyable and easy for you when all your beautiful subjects are right in your backyard! Many compliments to Veronica too. Another gorgeous capture Soboy (Btw is that your name?)

@marieooi Thank you so much, Marie! My name is Danny. I'm reading your lovely comments and chuckling as I am always thinking that those friends of mine on the project who live by the seashore have it so much easier than me to find subjects. Thanks for providing the fresh perspective.
@nikkic Thank you, Nikki!

Hi Danny! The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence hey? I'm sure they are quite sick of the same old beach, water, sunrise, sunset scene that they would kill for some lovely purple and green like your shot ;)

Congratulations on getting to day 50 ! It goes quickly, don't you think ? Gorgeous photo. I've got these in our front yard. But I will have to wait until the end of the year to see flowers again :).

@marieooi Yes, the grass is always greener! I do love all the green and colors of nature where I live, it is very relaxing and calm. But I still think those who live by the shore have so much to photograph!
@sabine Thank you, Sabine! The last 50 days have flown by on the project. I'll try to continue to capture flowers in the coming months so you can at least see them on here if you can't see them in person!

@sandier Thanks Sandie! I boosted contrast and sharpness, cropped it and applied a Velvia filter. Glad you like it.

beautiful capture and color clarity.. I didn't realize these were the Rose of Sharon... I always called them hollyhocks...
