    Breathtaking photos of the hibiscus, ACI. This flower gives its all, doesn’t it? And the red is so outstanding.

      Thank you and I love when I have a chance to photograph the gorgeous hibiscus as the petals reach for the sky.🙂

      Thank you very much! It took many different attempts at different times of the day to capture the right color and light.

    Love the color! And yes, a garden and a library would be sufficient to live life.

      Thank you! This has been my favorite flower to photograph this summer and I’m hoping I have a little longer to enjoy its beauty.🙂

        try photographing it with a pure black background & use small spot lights to highlight the flowers structure? Might make it pop even more?

        I’ve thought about trying this, but I’m still at the point with my camera where I like experimenting with the settings and different lenses in the natural light and setting. I’ve been watching some photography videos and it’s been a summer of concentrating on the background and light.

        My mother sent me home with a bouquet of sunflowers today, so I will be practicing still life photography this weekend as my dog recuperates from surgery.

    Great quote. Not too sure who Marcus Tullius Cicero is/was, but he obviously knew what he was talking about as I have both: well, garden and bookcases. Don’t have a hibiscus though, stunning photos!
