One of the many benefits of camera trapping is that you get a chance to see some wonderful wild flowers.
Over the years I've built up a fair collection, however I am not even going to attempt to identify this lot. I simply don't have the time or expertise to tackle such a daunting task. Luckily, you don't need to know the names to enjoy the show.
I like to snap a quick photo when I run into a new or pretty wild flower. These days I tend to use my cell phone a lot since it has a decent camera and is usually at hand, but most of these were taken by my trusty old "bridge camera".
I don't really see myself as a "good photographer" and definitely don't try to get the most beautiful shot possible. When talking to more "serious" photographer I call myself a "for-the-record-photographer" :) My interests lean towards the record, not the art. I simply enjoy snapping a quick photo in honour of the huge variety of life we are blessed with.

Good stuff, Henry. Many of those are commonly found in California gardens, too. :) We could definitely do without the Bermuda Buttercup, though - it's a nasty invasive. I fight it in my yard, the parks...
ReplyDeleteKeep 'em coming. I bet you have some terrific red flora that the hummingbirds like, too.
Thanks, glad someone enjoyed it :)
