Good morning peeps

Another capture taken in my friend Gina's garden for today. I absolutely love the two tone pastel blue and lilac colours here. Much as I love gardening I have to admit I have absolutely no idea what this beautiful flower is called so if anyone can enlighten me then please do... Then I can be off to the garden centre to buy some of my own.

Simple framing today in Paint.net as I am at work and had no pre prepared image this morning.

TTFN and have a great day

regards Smurfie

Good morning Helen, Delphinium, all coming to an end now, such a shame,
good thing you have captured one now.

Lovely presentation, nice and sharp.

Thanks
Gil

Hi Helen, Gil beat me to it.
These delphiniums are always so pretty - I love all those tall flowers - I can recommend foxglove too.
Nicely composed here, and the 2-tone colours show up well

Very fine details and fabulous colours in this. I love the tight composition (and the simple framing is the right touch)

Hi Helen

The intense blue of the flowers, contrasts well, against the patch of yellow green in the bottom right corner. Tfs!

Hi Helen,
The soft pastel colors against the green blurred BG are wonderful. Excellent composition with good detail in the flowers. Nice post Helen.
Regards,
Kevin

Bonsoir Smurfie,
There are some flowers like delphinium who have blue so deep. The Nigellas, hydrangeas, hyacinths and certainly others that I forget, but it's a true pleasure eyes as you watch with this superb POV.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the possibility because of my occupations to talk about all your photographs earlier but how small "treasures", you made us, the series just so cute the family of geese, beautiful sunsets and I saw that you had to leave your island British to come on the continent..
Thank you for your ideas for the Friday theme. And for your messages in my gallery. I assure you we are going well, although we are tired, the house will be our small paradise for years to come. Gradually the bird makes its nest and it's our situation.

Helen kiss, soon
Your friend Corinne

Bonsoir Helen
Le bleu de ces pieds d'alouettes est vraiment inimitable. Merci du partage.
Cordialement,
Antoine.

Hi Helen

hello Helen,
a beautiful blue delphinium, artistically taken. The blues with a touch of violet and the arrangement of petals is very pretty. Good bokeh.

This one is quite special Helen, beautiful colours, both in the flowers but the background as well.
Are going to see a 3-1 from you Friday?
Cheers,
Pete.

Hi, Helen -
Lovely colors and textures to these flowers; nice simple composition, background nicely blurred to avoid distraction. Very pretty image.

Hi Helen, elegant flowers composition with splendid light and fantastic colors, very well done, ciao Silvio
