Summer Colour

[OlyPaul]

Just a mix of images taken yesterday while the sun was shining.

Thanks for looking

I especially like that Lupin. It's a gorgeous colour and the overall picture presents it in a very splendid and dramatic way.

Very nice colours on the second picci too. A yellow Californian Poppy I presume?

Yes - I agree with Pol (is that a lupin?) - the sharp detail and form of the flower spike contrasts nicely with the wispy out of focus background

I think the one your referring to might be a wild orchid.

A good afternoons work anyway

A really good afternoon's work, and a lovely set of images.

I particularly liked the point of view on the lupin, the mecanopsis (?) delicately unfurling, the tight orange bud and the macro shot at the end.

Is that a bee orchird? Absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks guys and yes that is a garden lupin.

Caz that is a wild orchid, but which one I have no idea.
