Thank you to Dixie at French Lique, Texas for hostingWordless Wednesday for us.
The theme this time is "Plates"!
Now "shhhh" for this part.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now thank you to Susan over atA Southern Day Dreamer for hosting Outdoor Wednesday.
I have been practicing composition and positioningto improve my pictures.
Also keeping a steady hand too.
These are taken with my older digital camera before I got the new one.
This rose in the picture above is the Peace Rose.
It is the only rose in my yard I can name because we bought
and planted that one ourselves.
I don't know the names of the rest of the roses I have.This pink one is blooming like crazy now.
Here are some close up shots as I practice
composition and using the zoom lens.
And also the macro setting.
I rather like this one, looking at the flowers from the side.
A bud just before opening can make a pretty picture too.
Another nameless rose.It is a light coral color.
If anyone knows the name, I would appreciate finding out what it is.
Another bud opening up with two new ones coming on either side.
I showed this rose bush last week I think.
It is a pretty red rose that must be a climber.
Practicing compostion again.
Practicing close ups.
My dianthus has gotten even fuller.
I showed this rose bush last week I think.It was just starting to bloom.
Now look at it.
There are still a lot more buds to open yet!
It is a pretty red rose that must be a climber.I don't know the name of this one either.
The unnamed ones were here already when we moved in.
Practicing compostion again.
Practicing close ups.
My dianthus has gotten even fuller.I can't believe how well this plant is doing.
Same dianthus, but changed the angle of the picture
Some more of the daisies.
Then I learned about exposure and using the ISO button.
Here is one where I am also using the macro setting as well
Same dianthus, but changed the angle of the pictureto get the lavendar behind it.
Playing with composition.
Some more of the daisies.
Then I learned about exposure and using the ISO button.I can change how much light is coming in for more interest in the pictures.
These of the azaleas are the result of playing with the F-stops.
Here is one where I am also using the macro setting as well as playing with the exposure.
All pictures of the flowers are with the older camera.
The plates in the first section are with the new camera.
What fun I am having playing with the camera!
Happy Wednesday everyone!!

Morning, Linnea! OH, what a lovely post! Pretty plate and gorgeous roses! What could be better!
Did I tell you I have Stella? I'm a little behind with moving my Mother and being so busy, but I'll be posting about her next week. Hope you'll stop by!

Linnea... I love all your eagle plates.. reminds me of DeGray State Park in Arkansas where they have a Bald Eagle refuge and nesting sanctuary where you can "watch"...
and your flowers for Susan's Outdoor Wed (especially the roses) are beautiful!

I thnk on eof your lighter pink roses is a Elizabeth Taylor.
The coral are gorgeous. I am partial to that color.
