LET US START OUR DAY WITH SOME FANTASTIC PHOTOGRAPHS TO RELAX OUR MINDS

Let us get on with my Saturday post. Most of the following photographs are from my trip to Manito Park in Spokane, Washington. I will make a notation for any that were taken elsewhere.

My first selection is of a rose. I find some of the brighter pinks and reds can be pretty intense and sometimes take away from the photograph. I do like the brightness of color for this selection.

This next photo I believe is a Begonia. The leaves remind me of a Begonia house plant we have. So I am guessing here.

These next two I was amazed at how they looked. The first of the two is a regular photo of the plant. The second one I was able to get a nice closeup using my macro lens.

This next one is from my flower garden and is a variety of Astilbe. I found the following information at )https://www.fiftyflowers.com/blog/):

The Astilbe flower is also known as False Spirea, False Goat's Beard, or Feather Flower and they are said to have the meaning of 'I will be waiting for you' or 'I'll still be waiting', symbolizing patience and dedication to a loved one. ... The flowers sit on strong green stems above airy, green foliage.

I am still learning to take photographs when it is getting darker outside. I was able to capture the full moon recently and chose the best of what I took.

I am using a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for all of these photographs.

Upvotes and resteem are always welcome. In the event anyone wants to use one of my photos please ask and give me credit...I did see recently where someone did use one of my photos and a bot called them on it.
