I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

Fish Geranium
Fish Geranium Pelargonium x hortorum 'Maestro Salmon' (pe-lar-GO-nee-um) (hor-TOR-um) Wordless Wednesday
I want to know the secret to photographing geraniums! I tried to get some good shots while in a photography class, but they all lacked depth. This one is just gorgeous. None of us could figure out how to capture the beauty of this flower with a photo, but you've done it!
I've been away from WW for a few months due to illness. I did get a post up today at:
Nature shots are my absolutely favorite. I spend most of my spring/summer/falls doing just that. Of course they are also the shots I get right most of the time.
This is a scrumptious shot. The delicacy of the pink petals, the lighting, focus and depth of field perfect, man oh man. You need to give us all lessons.
Geraniums are so hardy and thrive here in Australia...yours is a gorgeous color, almost stripes but not quite. Happy WW! :)

Pop by if you have a chance and let me know what you think. Also, any tips on photographing those geraniums would be appreciated!
Happy WW!

I see how it got its (common) name. Looks like something you might see in a sushi restaurant.
