Friday flowers - Bleached beauty

Phew, it's Friday! These last few days back at work have been a chore!

So, here's some Friday Flowers. I took these pics of some beautiful delphiniums with my new camera, intentionally over exposing them. I'm really happy with the results. I'm even thinking of printing up one big.

Hopefully you are all up to something fun this weekend. I am still at the salt mines but thems the breaks :)

Friday flowers - moody blue and mauve

Delphiniums are one of my favourite blooms.

I love the colours, how they have little faces, the delicacy of the petals...

what's not to love?

These beauties came from the local Farmer's Market recently.

I visited with the sole purpose of buying handmade soap but as soon as I saw people wandering around with beautiful blue bunches I was on another mission (the soap lady wasn't there anyway).

This variety is grown in glasshouses and is much taller than the Pacific Giant variety we grow in our gardens. The stems are HUGE!

As you can see I went to town with the camera. Dad lent me his Canon DSLR, so I made the most of it :)

The light was really low (that wall in the background is in fact white) but I think the camera did a nice job.

Oh so gorgeous!!

I might have to pop back this week and see if the flower man is there :)

What's your fave flower? Or are you like me and have many?
It looks like being a chilly weekend here in Tassie. Tomorrow is tree erecting day so that'll be fun as I have some new deccys to display. I'll show the results soon.
Have a good weekend friends.
