(Day 355) - Smell the Flowers

Today CJ was excited to find some real flowers to photograph! He was very surprised to learn that many flowers in our world have a beautiful smell, as opposed to the Lego world where they just smell like plastic. Although, he doesn't have a nose anyway so don't think it matters!!! ◠‿◠✿

10 more photos in my project to go!
If I came across some flowers blooming outdoors, you can bet I'd be taking a picture of them too, likely before ever thinking to see if they had a lovely scent. This is bright and colorful and fun!

Heehee! Love the idea of learning about flowers having a smell! You should tag this for 365toys. You've got such great toys to use -- this week's theme is "nutella" for World Nutella Day on Thursday. Thanks for your visits today, and your comments and favs. You made my day!

How wonderful for CJ to be outdoors! I sadly can relate to him as I lost my sense of smell 2 years ago and it's not good :(

@lyndemc - So true! Come to think of it I rarely notice the scent of the various flowers I photographed. Guess the beautiful of flowers really draws us photographers in because you can't smell in a photo either. haha. Thanks for the kind words Denise!

@swilde - Thank you Sue! I tried out many different aperture settings but it was so super beautiful with a shallow depth of field.

@kathiecb - Haha, Yep! He typically wears a Flat Cap just like me so I named him Chris Junior (CJ)!

@mcsiegle - Thank you so much Mary! I'm really trying my best to keep the little Lego guy in focus so I'm really happy to know he looks good!

@taffy - Thanks a ton Taffy! I know about the Toys on 365 account but I forget about the '365toys' tag. Not sure if I'll be able to get some Nutella this week but I'll definitely keep my eye on the Toy themes this month and try some of them out!

@gigiflower - Thanks Sam! The DoF was a ton of fun to play around with.

@gilbertwood - So sorry to hear that Denise! One of my friends is dealing with the same loss of smell. It must be a very strange feeling. At least you, him, and CJ can still admire the beauty of photography. :)

@spock - Haha thanks David! I was especially looking for reddish flowers to match the red pants he was dressed in today. :)
