Sunday Stills: Peach and Orange

Terri’s latest color challenge is peach and orange. When I think of these colors I think of autumn leaves and pumpkin patches. Here in coastal Georgia our leaves don’t change colors and I don’t see many pumpkin patches.

My home state of Georgia is known as the Peach State so my first two images feature delicious Georgia peaches. Their season is short and is over for this year. I really wish I had some fresh Georgia peaches to enjoy right now.

I don’t have any images of orange leaves or pumpkins but I found these orange flowers and butterflies in my garden this month.

Exploring Nature’s Golden Yellows with Gardens, Flowers, and Butterflies

Terri’s Sunday Stills challenge is Nature’s Golden Yellows. The Lens-Artists challenge from Ann-Christine is What’s in a Garden? Both these challenge have flowers and nature in common so combining them into one post made perfect sense to me.

I’ve discovered many golden yellow flowers and butterflies during walks in nature and when visiting gardens. The following images are a few of my favorites.

Yellow at Calloway Gardens

Garden in Alaska

Yellow Butterfly

Yellow Meyer Lemon in my garden

I’ll finish with a gallery of yellow flowers

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #304 – Behind

Ritva’s challenge is to pay attention to the background behind our subject.

I chose a few images from nature for this challenge. I used depth of field to blur the background to keep the focus on the main subject.
