Summer is about chalk drawings and humongous sunflowers, so large the trunks have trouble supporting the flower. This flower was over a foot in diameter!
These Crocosmia plants are courtesy of my next door neighbor. I kept an eye on her plants for a couple of weeks, during the evenings, to capture some images of the blossoms as they progressed.
Just a FYI: Starting April 13th and ending on June 15th I will have a small display of photos at Capitol Hill Hair, 19th and Republican on Capitol Hill.
And, here is the traditional floral view. One of the “rules” I was taught in a workshop is: “Never shoot flowers from above”. One of the next “rules” that was presented was: ” The rules should be bent or broken from time to time, whenever you feel the creative urge”. So, there you have it. As much as some would like to make Art a “Science”, basically it is whatever works for you that should be applied.
