Sunday Stills

Sunday Stills: Flowers and Plants



Sunday Stills is a place to hone your photography skills. Each Week Ed issues a new “Challenge” that gives us the opportunity to pick up what ever kind of camera we own and try and meet it. Sometimes we’ll look forward to it because it might seem fun and easy and sometimes we might have to rack our brain to get the appropriate shot to meet the assignment requirements. The purpose is to get out there and use our cameras.
Any one can join in, the more the merrier. After you’ve put up your Sunday Stills post on your blog send us the link to the post and we’ll put them up here so everyone can go visit your blog, check out your pictures and comment. Ed’s website can be found here and his blog is here.

Pictures are beautiful. Today we are fasting for a 16 yrs old girl who has an illness and Dr. cannot determine what it is. She is a runner all her life and she is so sick she can't run. Remember her in your prayers. Utah Aunt

What's the first flower?

The Lantana looks very beautiful. Do you know what it is called in South East Asia? It is called the chicken dropping flower. I don't know about those in USA, but here in NZ, it smells just like that.

I like that veins of the leaf. We have those in Borneo.

to Utah Aunt, so sad to hear a 16 year old is so sick. Hope the doc will find out soon what's wrong with her and find a cure.
