When I bought my first compact camera (digital) I loved to wake up in the morning and get out to take pictures of flowering plants at my mother's garden.
Then I moved to another city and the opportunities to get those shots are much rarer these days.
But the last time I visited her, I spend some time in the garden photographing. She loves her flowers and I know she will love to remember them looking to these photos!
Bird of paradise (Strelitzia)
Orchids
Just love them!!
Cravina
Roses
...and my favorite, Magnolia!
Unfortunately, I hadn't the chance to see it's flowers fully opened...maybe next year!!
