Sunlight on the garden

fantastic pics, Lulu.. many times I come from work and instead of cooking or taking a rest I grab my camera to catch that lovely sun on my plants... not that many, but still...

I just love photography, esp in the sunlight, the evening sun x

love the photos lulu, especially the last one with that amazing red scabious?

Lovely blog Lulu, enjoyed it.

Stunning pics! yes they look amazing in the evening sun :)

They so do Pix, glad you enjoyed them Sheilar, I so enjoyed taking the pics.

Doesn't matter about editing, lovely pics.

Juicy photos Lulu! I think your first pic would lend itself to being transformed into a mosaic? Or is that just me? I can just see it as a long narrow strip with a background a bit like your dragonfly, and loads of tiny red blocks of a lovely clear glass, the colour of blood! All the lobelia shots are just beautiful, such rich colour, yum! Beautiful pics Lulu!

Lovely plants - I have a few you have too - look lovely with the sunlight behind :)))))))

lovely photos Lulu and great selection.:-))
don,t think it is your computer at fault as lately putting on blogs has been quite difficult for lots of people :-((

Aha, thanks Helen, yes it's very slow.
Thanks Libet!! and paul and Ginellie, it was getting too late in the day for much concentration!
Last pic is a Knaughtia Sticki!

Naughty stick? lol

i absolutely have to have one of those!!!

a knautia or a naughty stick!!?
Sticki, I have loads of baby knautias.....if you would like one. They flower all summer, self seed and are evergreen in little clumps in the winter.

both lulu and if you could possibly spare one i would really like one please. i feel bad now though, i feel as if i asked for one and i didnt mean to do that. sorry and thank you.

Not a problem at all Sticki, I have dozens of them springing up everywhere!

that would be really lovely then, thank you.

Good photos lovely blog:)

How close are you to Cheltenham? Or else how's about a day out at the Abbey Gardens.pref not on naked day!! We could make a GoY day out!

nearer to cheltenham than the abbey; the abbey is lovely ~ but i dont like the naked bit!!
have you ever been to the walled garden at cannington? its lovely.

Just beautiful Lu. simply lovely pics. and those reds & purples, sensational!

Thanks Gmage, it was a lovely sunny eve, perfect fot taking pics. The golden hour!

Beautiful pics of some lovely plants, Lulu, thanks for sharing ... :o)))

Lovely Lulu:)

Glad you enjoyed girlies!

You've a lovely collection of salvias - such a range of colours.

You've inspired me to do the same, now, Lulu. They were such beautiful, clear photos. I have a red Acer palmatum dissectum (I think!) and that is absolutely brilliant scarlet with the sun behind it. SUN? What sun? By the way, what's the name of that grass just before the lobelia close-ups? It's got such attractive seed heads, hasn't it? Thanks for the inspiration, anyway. Annie

Hi Annie, glad you are inspired!
Am not at home at the mo, just will check the name of that grass next week!
Lovely sunny day up in York today but rain coming in for the week end :(
Thanks Wagger, am hoping they will survive the winter!

They are all lovely photos Lulu but for me that Lobelia really is a queen.

Lovely pics, Lulu. You could print the first one and have it framed!

Some lovely pictures there, i really like the first one with verbena bonariensis sitting behind the salvia.

Glad you enjoyed my sunny garden Stroller, Sheila and Julien. What with my salvias, Lobelias and cup n' saucer vine, there may not be much room left this winter in the bosses greenhouse!

Just wonderful Lulu. I must ask my son to take some in evening sunlight. I wouldn't have thought of that but I do love to sit for a while when the shadows make lovely shapes on the grass. Ah! now I'm waxing lyrical. Time for a more mundane cuppa. Happy snapping.

I agree that the evening sunlight is often magical on our plants. Your plants really look fantastic! :-))

Thanks Balcony. I am really enjoying them:)

Hello Lulu, flying visit home then off again, brilliant photography & subjects. Hope your all well, catch-up in a month or so.
ps: I understand S the T has been having problems with his 'reds' ???? ( sniggers :) you could give us a master-class with these stunners !!

Ha ha, where you off to now, do tell..............

lovely pics and not bad editing either lol ................

Lol, think it was a bit late at night which didn't help!
