141 : Pink lily on yellow

Haven't shot a tiger lily in awhile, so thought I'd go back to them while they're still around. Just love all the yellow on this one, from the center of the flower to the backdrop. Love how the left petal seems to gradiate from white to purple just as it curls.

140 : White snapdragons(?) with purple spots

I've been meaning to shoot these flowers for a while now, but white flowers can be tough to shoot. Think these turned out pretty interesting with the purple spotted backdrop though.

139 : Cosmo and vanishing stem

Really think this one turned out pretty interesting. Was trying to show the stem run down towards the lefthand side, but it just about disappears by the time it reaches the ground. Think the neutral background helps achieve this... I'll try and get a more colorful shot tomorrow!

138 : Twin purple cone flowers

I took a shot of this type of flower a few days ago from the side, but wanted to get a shot of how colorful it really is. Love the yellow from the little 'poke-ies' on the center, especially with the pink petals.

137 : Orange rose on blue sliver

Got a handful of shots of the roses out back, and wished I could have gotten some against the blue sky. Since they grow along the backside of the house, most are just simply not in a position to get behind, but this one was leaning out just enough that I could crouch down and find a bit of blue sky in between the neighbor's arborvitaes. Really like the orange and blue palette.

136 : Purple cone flower from side

Although these these flowers look pretty neat from above, I thought this one looked interesting from the side... mainly because the petals seemed so out of line, and the green from the lucifer stalks made for a vibrant backdrop.

135 : Lucifer on purple

This one kind of turned out to be yesterday's shot in reverse... with the red bloom as the subject and purple in the back. Just love how the red stands out on the purple. Wish the Lucifer would have been a little crisper in front, but I love how the framing and the colors turned out, so it gets to be the winner today!
