Snapdragon

One of the flowers in my "Sick Day" bouquet. I'm not feeling very creative today. Tagged B&W because the flowers are white and the background is black .

[Jennifer Wearing]

Ooohh wow - that's a lovely mysterious shot.

@jennwearing Thanks, Jennifer. I am glad you like it. Did you see that you are the closest to right about the turning bowls?

[Mike O]

I love the exposure from shadows to light!

[katy]

@trumpetman Thanks, Mike I really appreciate it!

[karenann]

Stunning colors! Love the white on black. Very dramatic and powerful.

[katy]

@karenann Thanks so much I'm glad you like it KarenAnn.

[J. Voorberg]

it is a little mysterious as I didn't know these were snaps...mysterious and dramatic

[katy]

@jayberg Thanks, Jay. Maybe it is the angle of the shot or the lack of light that makes it difficult to identify it.

[mag]

mysterious and nice shot indeed....hope you feel better...and that you enjoyed some rest and the flowers...

[Steve Hankins]

Makes me think of how people are always saying "go towards the light!" Nice shot and hope you are feeling better soon.

[Marilyn Wigen]

Beautiful! Love the focus and the contrast and the lighting... love it all. Are they a double snapdragon? They look "fuller' than normal.

@maggotx Thanks, so much,Mag. I am glad you like it.I am a little better and got lots of rest today too..

[katy]

@hankinsphoto LOL! Thanks? Thanks for the well wishes too,Steve.

[katy]

@marilyn They are not. They are just all clustered toward the top of the stalk and the angle I shot it was almost straight on from the top. They have a thicker stem than i am used to seeing too. I'm glad you like it. Thanks so much for the nice comments.

[Phil]

It is surprising that you were able to keep up with your postings as sick as you are. I don't think they purple 365 hearts. Take a day off and heal.

[Debbie Orlando]

Gosh, I hope you feel better soon. :-(

[Darlene]

Very pretty and unusual. So what meds are you taking? Seriously, hope you feel better soon.

[Anna]

very mysterious and nice:)

[Peter de Graaff]

Clever use of lack and white.

[Geertje K.]

Beautiful light! i hope you feel better soon!

[Kathy Burzynski]

They look so delicate! Beautiful shot. Snap Dragons are amazing. I still get some growing outside of the garden I planted them years ago even though they are not perennials

[katy]

@after12 LOL! Addictions are awful!

[katy]

@debsphotos Thanks,Debbie. I am already feeling better today!

[katy]

@darsphotos Just a cold so zicam is it. I am already feeling better. Thanks,Darlene!

[katy]

@nyusha I appreciate it so much, Anna. I though about doing one like you but didn't feel up to setting it up right.

[katy]

@peterdegraaff ;~} Thanks so much Peter. I'd like to try white on white too.

[katy]

@geertje Gee,thanks, Geertje. I am so honored you stopped by and commented.

[katy]

@myhrhelper I like them too and as long as they have fertile ground I think they will re-seed every year. Thanks for you nice words. I really appreciate it!

[bruni]
