Spring yellow flowers

I could use some help from my readers, even if those flowers, probably the first trees blossoming in the spring, are practically everywhere, including in my garden, where I took the shoot, I don’t know their name, not the Romanian name and not the English name.

Update: thanks to a comment on flickr, I learned the name: "Forsythia" in English respectively "Forsiția" in Romanian

Waiting to blossom

I hate this ugly and cold weather: the vegetation is waiting to blossom, look at this tree from my garden, and is held back by the low temperatures… But I guess there is also an upside for this: I have in my mind some spring photos for which I lack the means to take at the moment (but the situation does not appear to be changing in the following weeks, so is not much of an upside).

Spring flowers: Viola Odorata/ Garden Violet/ Toporasi

Yet another macro of an early spring flower taken from my garden. Not that great of a shot, I plan to try again.

Spring flowers: Crocus (Brinduse)

I only saw those flowers blossoming in my garden only in the early spring, just after the snowdrops and they are a joyful spot of color in any garden.

And if the photo above was taken in the controlled conditions with tripod and such, I also have a version from their natural state and hand-hold camera:

Garden bush

I don’t know the name of this plant, but the red was beautiful. And is from a garden, not my garden, but a garden.

Fly, fly, little butterfly

The sun light is a bit too strong, but you don’t have much choice when shooting a butterfly, you find it and shot it. Any preparation and it will fill away scared by you.

Bees and flowers

A cloudy day has its benefits for photography, but a sunny day in the autumn has some other benefits, like insects enjoying what’s probably the last beautiful day of the year. Insects? Macros!

Roses and chrysanthemums from my garden

A cloudy day is perfect for nature photographing, you can shoot the flowers without the undesired shadows and strong solar light

Herbs (Summer Savory/Cimbru) from my garden

Summer Savory (Romanian: Cimbru) is a base condiment in the Romanian cuisine. And it has flowers.
