How nice...Hi Elaine, first of all I love your posy! How nice that you can go through your garden and pick such a variety of beautiful little flowers at this time of the year. I really can relate to your experience how difficult it is to photograph a flower arrangement inside the house. I tried it a couple of times and it took for ages to get some satisfying photos. I think you got some wonderful shots at the end, well worth all your efforts! Happy spring!<br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-33262961992500574922014-03-24T02:46:55.135+00:002014-03-24T02:46:55.135+00:00Goodness friend!!!!

I...Beautiful posy, and I agree with your choice :-)<br />I feel for your struggle to find the best spot, I have a very dark ground floor with few windows and those I have are east/west facing. I try to take photos outside in the garden when I can, but sometimes that’s not possible. Unless I drag photo equipment and everything upstairs I usually take photos indoors on my cooker if I want dark red background, or on my kitchen table if I want white background.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-34689804636951397482014-03-22T21:03:54.538+00:002014-03-22T21:03:54.538+00:00I like to faff about, my husband is perplexed by i...I like to faff about, my husband is perplexed by it.

It is funny that they cup looks so varied in color depending on the shot: blue in one and green in another. Doesn't matter though. It is a really cute cup no matter what shade it is. I love the flowers too. So cheery! It is sunny here, but still so darn cold.
