Crocui

These little beauties are growing along the edge of our front sidewalk.
It took uncountable shots to get something acceptable. Meanwhile
my neighbours and passersby were treated to a view of me writhing on a blanket on my sidewalk,
pointing my camera at something in the dirt. :o)


other sizes: small medium original auto

So beautiful and worth the stares.

These are beauties and well worth looking strange for. Why does everyone in the US seem to have flowers now except us? My neighbors have decided I'm funny turned (WVism for nuts) and pretty much ignore me now. LOL.

very very nice...

I agree 100% with Ian about the sweatshirt. Let's not tell Slug cause next he'll be selling Tshirts and not fixing Pbase. But I'm glad you got this, Cliff. Can't be too long, crossing fingers!

A wonderful and colorful closeup Cliff.

Wow Cliff! Perfect detail and beautiful colors.
Ian Clowes21-Feb-2005 23:55
I think we need some sort of pbase sweat shirt that explains to passers by why we're doing the apparently wierd things they see!! This is a truly great shot worth the effort.

So beautiful ... and worth the writhing around in the dirt! I like your composition ...
Guest 21-Feb-2005 19:32
This is a really beautiful shot! I love the vivid colors and details in this.

Beautiful, I love the variegated colours. I'm slowly getting to the point where I don't worry whether people are wondering if I'm a little strange. Only I know the truth - I think!

A sure sign of spring.. very nice detail and lighting. unfortunately ours are WAY under the snow.. Sigh
Oh,. and it only took me about 6 months before I forgot to care about someone seeing me on my belly on the ground..lol

LOL! I think next time I'm going to move next door to a photographer just for the entertainment value. Beautiful exposure... spot on focus. Bravo.

The colour popped out in this one. Darn sharp too. Good (hard) work. P.s. Do you mean to say Cocteau Twins? ;)
Guest 21-Feb-2005 16:20

Not the time of year to be writhing...bit too cold :-D Picture is excellent Cliff.Perfectly composed and shot...great story too...exqusite!

LOL. I love your story with your image. I so want to photograph some blooms before my house, but I just do not bring up the guts to writhe in the dirt before my neighbours lol. This truly is very beautiful. You did a really great job on this image. I love the colors and the composition and appreciate that you writhed in the dirt, so we can see something this beautiful.

It was worth it, Cliff. These are wonderful. The color is excellent, the DOF is great and you've left enough background to really set them off well!
