Floral Photos Brighten Spring and Summer Decor

Don't you love the colors of spring and summer? Many flowers are
in full bloom, delighting the senses with their beauty and
fragrances. It always amazes me how quickly these seasons pass.

Just a few short weeks ago our flowering cherry trees were in
full bloom. I captured them as a backdrop for a photo of our
twin boys catching a ride with dad on the riding lawn mower.
Only days later a strong breeze blew all the beautiful flowers
away and all I have is the photo to remember them.

If you have a digital camera, you too can capture the beauty of
your spring and summer flowers. I am by no means a professional
photographer. I wouldn't even consider myself an amateur...maybe
a novice at best! A digital camera, however, is very forgiving.
It auto focuses for you and you can retake a picture until you
are happy with how it turned out. In about 15 minutes I was able
to photograph all of our flowers and get some great pictures to
decorate our home.

We have some tall daisies that I took closeup pictures of from
several different angles. The yellow walls of our dining room
will make a nice background for those photos.

I never saw the weathered siding of our home as attractive until
I photographed it behind some beautiful long-stemmed pink
flowers. These photos will make a nice addition to our master
bedroom.

Seasonal photos are great because you can change them with the
seasons. Last fall I photographed our sons on the porch with
some big pumpkins, and those photos will come out in the fall and
replace the pictures of our summer flowers.

I love seasonal flowers, but because of hayfever we cannot fully
enjoy them in the house. By displaying photos of them in the
house we can enjoy them while they are in bloom as well as after
their seasons have past.
