The photo above is taken in the spring last year by hubby in El Rocio, Andalusia, Spain, Europe. Slightly experimentally edited by me to get the most out of it.
The most colorful flower photos we’ve been taken, has been on our trips. That’s another reason why I love to travel: I get to take photos I never would have taken here at home.
Why not? It’s the photo moments that’s been offered abroad that I can’t seem to find when at home. I don’t go out exploring as much here at home, that’s true, but even our cold climate don’t offer as much opportunities either.
I’m no fan of pink, but this Hibiscus I found in Tenerife, Spain in January were just irresistible.
That’s another interesting aspect of travel photography: that our best flower photos are the ones with colors that we normally aren’t that fond of.
Take this photo below: I can’t even say which color the background has, it’s a weird one but goes so well to the yellow. A dirty color, but it makes the photo so clean.
No favorite colors, yet we find these photos gorgeous!
It’s like people, we don’t always think their attributes are the most beautiful if looking at them separately, but if looking at the human in whole we may end up loving him/her…

Love the new theme, captain. Your photos seem to look even more beautiful with this theme.
Yes, me too @Ling, it’s more sunny this theme – and I almost love the bottom of the blog more than the top!!!!
I have those two themes to choose between, the blue one and this orange-red one. Oh, and then the Halloween theme too.
It was the colors of the photos in this post that actually made me switch theme today, I saw that they would look better with this one, otherwise I’d have waited until the 1st of May to change
Absolutely beautiful and yes – love the new theme too
Love your new theme too! I will change mine too
Spring and soon summer are in the air and spirit changes too!
I admire your talent! those flowers are marvelous but really you did fabulous captures as nice as a professional!
This place makes me feel all warm inside.
truly amazing shots. for some reason i never got the hang of taking pics of flowers. i just dont’ see them as some photographers. i mean, they’re gorgeous and i want them all over my house. however, i’ve never had any success at photographing them!

Excellent flower shows and a great new theme.
First : congratulations to your new blog dress ! looks cheeful and sunny !
I always look more at flowers here at home than while I travel, there are so much other things to see. I have to say that this year I am especially “flower” hungry after this long winter ! I even worked a little in our garden which hasn’t happened since at least 25 years ! I prepared flower pots to put some petunias in !
Gorgeous shots!!! I only like pink in flowers
Lovely pics and collors – the new theme fits you
oops! Sorry quite a while didn’t board your cruise, didn’t realised you have just changed your cruise paint
Energetic colour to welcome life after winter… 
You (and Mr. Lifecruiser) have just added some great flower shots to your portfolio!
Just curious what lens are you using for your macro shots. I like the contrast in your images. Good work.
Welcome to our blog Dave
Interesting enough, those three flower shots are actually taken with our compact cameras, so no special lens is used. A perfect example of when the camera has minor importance. I believe those shots came out so great because of the perfect daylight we had when taking them, plus adjusting the settings of course.
so pretty
the pink Hibiscus photo almost looks 3d! I can imagine touching the pollen 
i think your photos are more than beautiful , and i loved your website and i think people should consider photography more and more
Nice photos!
I like your style in taking photos!
