Old and new favorites

I know I've waxed poetic about my favorite flowers many times now but each time I get a bouquet of ranunculus I just cannot NOT shoot them. This bouquet is extra-special because of the lovely slightly pink/purple calla lilies. Before I knew what ranunculus were (I know, can you imagine such a dark time??), calla lilies were my fave because they were so minimal and their shape so elegant. It's funny that ranunculus are like the opposite - super bulbous and very intricately layered.

Had a bit of fun with the processing to really try to bring out a pink and green feeling. I'm being extra strange right now and admiring the flowers in my pictures when the real live things are just a few feet away from me. Whatever works... :D

I missed blogging yesterday due to a unexpectedly long but wonderful dinner at Hotel Griffou. We were in great company and you know how time just stealthily whizzes by when that's the case! If I'm feeling ambitious, I may get that post up tonight too.

    May absolute favorite flower as well! Love ranunculus, and you captured them so beautifully here.

    I just bought two bouquets, and I swear I shot an entire roll of film on these flowers alone! Must.get.some.help.

    This are great photos. I like all, especially the last one. I like the way the focus falls on the flowers.
