Nature abstracts: green

I am into abstracts today... nature abstracts, of course. Which green do you prefer?


Light green grass blade


Dark green plant

Summer geranium

This terracotta pot with pink geranium flowers was shot at friend’s house one July evening. I think the image has summery feelings…

Parson Jack Russell puppy

His name is Patch. He is so friendly and playful... wonderful puppy.

Foz do Iguacu, Brazil

Street scene in Foz do Iguacu, Brazil. I like the reach sunny colours on these photos. Taken on one off-the-centre street of this Brazilian town in a sunny afternoon.


Love this old-fashion car. Volkswagen Fusca is very popular in Brazil. It is still running!

Pink sunset

What a gorgeous sunset was it! The sky turned rose, then red and finally pink... like a huge fire was swallowing the horizon... Wau! It lasted only 10 minutes, but every minute was worth much more… These few moments definitely made that day at Iguassu Falls (Iguazu Falls).

Bird paradise: toucans

Toucan is my favourite bird of South America. Aren't they gorgeous?

Adventure boat safari in Iguassu Falls, Brazil

The image in the previous post was shot from above. This photo is from almost under... under water. They take you on a boat trip right under Iguassu waterfalls. No matter how much plastic you wrap around, you get wet.... really wet... it's a lot of water falling from the sky on your head! Getting a decent picture without a waterproof case is quite a challenge. You definitely will remember this adventure trip on Iguassu (Iguazu, Iguacu) river in the Brazilian part of the Iguassu National Park (Parque Nacional do Iguacu).

Iguassu Falls, Brazil, Argentina

I had a chance to visit Iguassu Falls last week. These amasing waterfalls are shared by Brazil and Argentina along the Iguassu River (sometimes spelled Iguazu or Iguacu Falls) and surrounded by tropical forests of Iguassu National Park. The system consists of about 270 falls along 2.7 kilometres of the river.

You will see more images of this spectacular place.

Field Scabious flower, Knautia arvensis

Back to flowers...This is quite common in Europe bluish-mauve flower called Field Scabious (Knautia arvensis). But tricky to photograph: very difficult to capture this beautiful colour and get the depth of field right. Do you think I managed?







The main image is accompanied by close-ups of the same photo, showing parts of this interesting wild flower.

Sunset light

Gray

This image is my first entry for the PhotoFriday challenge "Gray". I think the image is in "gray mood" and might get some votes or even win! Who knows... Do you think it's gray enough?

P.S. As soon as I sort out how to include links in the post, will provide a link to the http://www.photofriday.com/

First photo - macro flowers

I was thinking what should be the first photo I post here. Let's start with a flower image... It is called Common Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea). The photo was taken on a wonderful meadow next to my house few weeks ago. I used "put your lens inside the flower" technique and made several shots. I am quite pleased with this one: I like the colours and soft feeling... What do you think?
