Photography of Exotic Flowers

When you first walk into a State Botanical Garden with your camera in hand; you pause for a moment to take in all of the scents that linger in the air. Yet, you pause for another moment to absorb the thought of where you would like to begin photographing.

The State Botanical Gardens is a perfect teaching ground for the amateur photographer. The bright colors of all the exotic, tropical plants overwhelm you with a strong sense of expectations. You excitably begin your journey towards the first section of exotic flowers. As you are slowly walking towards them, you become aware of the heightened beauty that is surrounding you, you get your camera ready, and begin to capture the scene in front of you.

RedGage 365 Day Challenge

A Flower a Day Challenge

I use to be very active at RedGage, but because I was so busy with other projects my time became limited. But than I started missing it A LOT so I tried to visit there whenever I had a free moment. But soon I realized what attracted me to the site in the first place and it was not only because of the wonderful community, but also because of the opportunities it has to earn extra income.

RedGage offers people a lot of different ways they can earn money for things they are already doing online and NOT making money for. So why not become a member at the RedGage Community and see what I am talking about. See if you answer YES to any of the following questions.

1. When you write a new blog, article or take a new photo you automatically want to promote it?
2. You submit your work to many different sites and often still do not get a lot of traffic?
3. You would like the opportunity to earn money?
4. You would like to multi-task taking care of several things at once?

Did you answer YES to any of these questions? If you did come and join us at RedGage and join a challenge like this one or make up one of your own. It will accomplish many different things at once: You have the chance to earn some extra money, you create back links, you learn so much from the fantastic information submitted to the community and best of all you will meet some fantastic people who are all doing the same thing as you!

This is a challenge I wanted to do and along the way a few other people have joined me. It is a celebration of Springtime and sharing our photography of different flowers. Throughout the season changes you will watch our photos change. Comments and Ratings are always welcomed and appreciated!!

Untitled

Do you know if there are any sites that can explain to me what I am trying to do. I just posted one of my links from my photography blog (using it as a experiment) and now I cannot find it, nor do I know where it went. I think I am so lost... (smiles) okay, I hear ya, that is nothing new for me but this time I truly am lost. Anyone know where the best place to start with me figuring out this site??? http://amplify.com/u/a14egp

Happiness comes from Nature

Happiness_-sample

Happiness

 

Often when I see certain flowers or certain things in Nature, they symbolize a word to me.  I have been taking these photos and turning them into beautiful messages and posting them at in WhiteOak's Photography at Zazzle.   The reason this photo represents "Happiness" is because of the way it made my mother smile.  Often flowers can make a person just feel good.  This inspired me to write this:

Happiness Print print

Happiness

Often we are asked-Are you happy? Can you explain what happiness is?

I honestly believe happiness is different for everyone.

I believe happiness is watching a hummingbird and happiness is the fluttering feeling you get in your stomach when you are close to your loved one.

Happiness is watching how your animal reacts when you get home and happiness is seeing your vegetables grow and your flowers bloom.

Happiness is being content in this moment, in this time and happiness is seeing unspoken words in your loved ones eyes.

Happiness is being able to make someone smile and expect nothing in return and happiness cannot be purchased nor can it be borrowed.

I believe happiness lies in the core of your heart in the same place you hold love.  So you see-happiness is different for everyone.  What is happiness to you?

 

Here are a few more of my photos that have inspired me:
