Deep Blue Agapanthus

The tropical lows have moved out of our area, bringing a slightly drier and cooler day. It was only 88 degrees on my drive home from work.
The agapanthus are blooming everywhere. I love this deep blue variety. Another shot of this one is at http://www.pbase.com/image/30208372 After looking at that one I wish I'd shot from the ground to get only sky as background.

BTW I returned to this image and thought it would be stunning if you used the popping out of the frame effect.

Wow, those are pretty wild looking!

sublime photo, bravo

I think the Agapanthus is very difficult to take a good picture of and this is really the best one I've seen! That blue frame is brilliant.

Only 88ºC!!! If we had that here they'd be declaring a national emergency!!!
This plant is stunning, and you have captured it wonderfully.

This is a beautiful flower/bush. So striking against the green. Very, very nice.

Gayle, what can I say. The picture is beautiful. The blue jumps out at you and the frame is great. GREAT SHOT.

Beautifully captured, such rich rich color, gorgeous.

Gayle really striking image and colors. Your depth of field is great and the image is very sharp. The background does not distract because it is blurred enough.
You inspire me to try to get an image of my newly planted agapanthus.

You're doing great with blue flowers-cornflower, thunbergia and this!

What a beautiful capture Gayle...

Iunderstand what you are saying about the sky as the background, but really I think this one works just fine. You captured the rich color and detail so well.

Beautiful flower, and beautiful photo!

Wonderful Blue. The frame really accentuates the colour even more. Nice job.

This is a gorgeous photo Gayle! I like the colours a lot! The blue frame is very effective! So I guess on the up side, this is a by product of all the rain you've been having! Still - sunshine and warmth are ALWAYS welcomed.
