photography

with summer just around the corner and some of the flowers wilting away or blooming into fruit, i decided that it was the perfect time to go around and take pictures of all the lovely nature around my house. so, the other day, i went on an adventure hunting for pretty photo subjects. i found plenty and i can’t wait to share all the lovely flowers, trees, birds, and bees that i found with you all!

without further ado, let’s jump into it!

i believe these are potato plants. there was one singular flower blooming from one singular plant so i obviously took some pictures of it.

i love the way the magnolia leaves look. when i was younger, i used to play shopping games with my cousins and we always used magnolia leaves as money. look at how beautiful and blue the sky is!

i don’t remember what kind of flowers these are but i love how vibrant they are, especially against the dirt.

the sun was very bright when i took all these pictures. i just love the way the light filters through the leaves in the second picture. i also love the way the roses surround the bell. it’s just so lovely. it seems like something you would find in an enchanted garden.

Lily does not look happy 😂

i actually had no idea there were dandelions in our yard so i obviously had to pick one and blow it away. i tried getting a picture of the fluff in the wind but it didn’t turn out well *sadness*

a giant leaf with my giant hand for comparison.

i love the way the entrance to the woods looks. no matter how much time passes, it never gets overgrown enough to be impassible. it’s so lovely and green this year.

i think this is an oak tree? there aren’t that many oaks around here so i can’t remember. it’s either oak or sycamore. the branches spread out in such a picture-perfect way. it’s like she knew i was going to take a picture of her.

this was just a random sprig of yellow wildflowers i found out in the field. it’s so cheerful!

i don’t know why my camera made the flower petals look layered but it’s interesting. this was just a cute little yellow blossom i found and i thought it was brave for blooming all on its lonesome. i tucked it into my hair after i took this picture.

my mom’s elderberry trees are starting to bloom and they’re so unique. the leaves are curly and the blooms look like snowflakes and not flowers.

this picture makes me smile. i love the tiny little white flower peeking through the leaves. and soon, that little flower will turn into a strawberry!

three little clover flowers against the world 🥰

of course i had to get some pics of the critters. . . . aren’t they precious?

the garden is coming along nicely! look at how massive the broccoli is! if you look closely at the second picture, you can see a few tiny flowers holding their own.

this bell in my grandmother’s yard is very lovely. it looks as if it has a story to tell.

and we shall end with this little flower peeking out of the leaves of its bush. it’s so small in all those leaves.

what do you think?

i hope you all enjoyed seeing some lovely springy pictures! spring is mostly gone now — it’s warm enough out to be summer — but i had a wonderful time hunting around for some pretty camera subjects!

i shall leave you with a picture of my new ducklings.
