Friday Shoot-Outs / The Garden - texture and color

This week the ‘My Town’ Friday Shoot out gang celebrates its 52nd week. There is a little debate about which week it actually started but I know for sure this is my 50th FSO post. So we celebrate. For this week’s topic we get to choose our favorite topic from the past year…. I loved textures and circles and gardens and …. With a blog title of ‘Flowers and More’ what choice do I really have? I wanted texture, I wanted color and by showing flowers in my garden I think I got both. All of these photos are from the garden at one time or the other throughout the year. I hope you enjoy the show as much as I do the colors in my garden.

  1. Wow Ginger, what a show you have going on here, what a garden! These are so much fun to look at. I see several flowers that here we can only manage indoors as potted plants. And is that red stuff on the bark a type of colorful lichen?

    Beautiful!

  6. Wonderful. I like the visual-effect-ed one too.

    Can we get you to shoot your garden in a more panoramic way? It must be gorgeous.

    Thank you.

  7. My retinas are drunk on your colors! I couldn't begin to list favorites because I love them all. Does your camera ever overheat with vibrance?

  8. Ginger, sometimes I get so carried away in amazement and in awe of the natural beauty you have right outside your door in Brazil that I forget was a talented photographer you are. We all have beautiful things around us if we just take the time to you. You showcase yours in ways that take my breathe away.

  13. Ginger, I don't think anyone else in the group can capture colour like you do. It's hard to believe all those rich, vibrant colours could exist in one garden.
    Thank you so much for fixing my link. Goodness knows what I did wrong, my mind was on my back. It was very kind of you to fix it for me! I do appreciate you!! (And the slide show is fab!!!)
