Happy Weekend!!
I was so excited to receive a wonderful surprise this week...two lovely bouquets of ranunculus flowers!! I've {really, really} wanted to photograph these intriguing flowers for some time. These blooms were the miniature type and each bouquet was full of incredible color {reds, pinks, oranges, yellows and purples}.
On Friday, I separated some of the pinks, purples and oranges and set to work on capturing some long overdue images. I love how the stems wind and curve, each petal with light textures, each bloom unique and at a different stage. I decided to group my images by flower color to obtain a more uniform view. This week's image:

| Project 52 - Week 9 / "Purple Ranunculus n.1" {Captured: ISO160 - F2.0 - 1/80} |
The richly deep purple petals, with a light texture and haze definitely made this image the right choice for Week 9. It was a hard choice though, because the orange and pink ranunculus images were equally beautiful. If you get a chance this week, stop by the Facebook page to see additional images in the Coming Soon folder.
I'm looking at this rainbow of flowers this morning and they are continuing to change daily. I'm hoping to get a few more images of the other blooms this week. I really would love to add a space in our back gardens this year to grow some of these amazing plants, their bright blooming flowers would look great next to the roses and peonies.
On a sidenote: Spring is nearing everyday, I've noticed our tulips are growing and I can't wait to capture some images of these, hopefully soon!
Hope your week is amazing!!
