Hovering
Featured by Depth of Field – 2 images per day – May 2009
From the visit to the Botanic Gardens in Adelaide. Tiny yellow flowers which appear to be floatng in space like disembodied helicopters. At least 1:1
I have no idea what they are called but I was drawn to their simplicity and their bright colour and the challege of using my D90 with AF-S Micro Nikkor60mm lens. 1/50sec F/3.2

Must have missed this one—well done! Is this as is?

Cropped and upped lighting. Must admit it is some time since I first loaded it. They were very tiny flowers from the outset!!
Wendi Donaldson
Congratulations on your feature, Judy….these are delightful – especially set against the contrasting blue background. I think they could be a variety of Cosmos or Coreopsis….not 100% sure. Cheers!! W.

Jan Timmons
The word “perky” came to mind when I saw this. Everyone must love these no-name perky flowers, Judy. Took forever to scroll down. Fortunately, RB has that feature where one can click on “add a comment” and avoid scrolling. I just wanted to see if anyone had identified these.
You’re an inspiration. I wonder if it is too late to visit our botanic gardens. Botanic gardens in Alaska; who’dathunk?
chijude replied
Jan you are a wonder. If there is something to be found … anywhere in Alaska … I am sure you will find it … never too late!!
DevineDayDreams
Great color combination! it shouts spring!
chijude replied
Thank you !!!.... and yes it does … but I have no idea what they are. But it certainly is starting to burst with Spring blossom here in Adelaide.
