Good Morning Everyone,

I think we are so pleased in the U.K. to be having so much lovely sunshine, this year, that light and shade is becoming a fixation!

This clematis grows up the trellis in my garden and, to me, often appears to playing a game of hide-and-seek! It peeps from the shadows until the sun reaches high in the sky, when it bathes in the full light.

The BBC website here gives details of the different types of clematis, which is best for particular locations and their flowering times.


Many thanks for your interest.
Please feel free to feedback on any aspect of the photograph. Bev :-)

Yes, clematis is a beautiful flower ! It's nicely presented this way. I have one in my backyard too, a dark blue one.
Perhaps the colours could be a little bit more intenser ?
But anyway, a lovely pict.

kindest regards, willie

Bom dia Bev,
Very good POV, colors and sharpness. I like the dance of lights and shadows.
TFS,

Hello Beverley, clematis are such showy flowers,and here you have selected a fine example.
I like the play of light and shadow across the blooms.
Good choice of framing.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Beverley

An amusing catch of the tiny starlike blossum 'hiding' under the petal. Your title reminds me of the Australian children's classic, 'the Gumnut babies'. Good dof & framing. Tfs!

Hello, Beverly -
Very warm and colorful shot of these clematis flowers. Love the interplay of light and shadow which brings out the full range of color from the petals. Very attractive image - nice work.

Hi Beverly,
What an amazing lovely purpule colours...
Lightining and shadows are sharpness.tfs

Hello Bev,
Fascinating interplay of light and shadows. I like it. I am glad you did not overly processed this one. I have the same blue clematis and taken many pics of it but I would always end up unhappy with my pp work. Smmoth and suave. Greetings!

The lighting and shadows have made this stand out from others. I love the color of this flower!! Beautiful framing. TFS

Bonjour Beverley
Clematis are frail flowers with tender colours, your shot shows well their "shyness" and your playing between light and shadows is a good idea.
Have a nice day, Beverley

Good Morning to you too Bev
Love these clematis and the shadows of the trellis bring out the colours of the petal so well.
Well seen and captured

I missed this! BLUE FLOWER! My fav of course! This is beautiful! Lovely...but it would burn up in Texas right now! We have had weeks of 100F+ temps... it's been bone dry with lots of fires! Love the color here, very nice work Bev!
