Do you need a little color on this Friday? I have the perfect photo for you. This is a Chamaecereus sylvestris cactus, which produces fire red flowers when it blooms. Enjoy!

I featured some pink water lilies a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to capture more of them on camera recently. The sunlight was very bright that day in comparison to my other photo session, so these pink water lilies look quite different in the end.

By the way, check out the green frog popping its head out of the water in this last picture (bottom right).

This is the first time I’ve photographed lotus flowers. They were standing next to the water lilies in the pond but definitely look different with their much taller stems. The light was quite challenging that day, especially when it came to photographing mostly white petals.

I love this next shot, which shows what a lotus seed head looks like once the petals come off. If you look inside the flower, you can see the seed area in an earlier stage. Pretty cool flowers!

I find hibiscus flowers a challenge to photograph. I love their bright colors and signature shape but I never know which angle looks best to capture them. So here are a few angles I used to photograph orange hibiscus flowers. And I still don’t know which one I prefer in the end. Maybe you can help.  🙂

I love taking pictures of water lilies and showcasing them on this website. Here are a few photos of light yellow waterlilies for this Floral Friday. They were in partial shade and I like the light effect on the lily pads and the water lilies.
