I know I usually post on Friday’s, but when I first started, I was doing two posts a week, on Tuesday’s and Friday’s. I decided to stop posting on Tuesday’s and make Friday my regular posting day, so I use Tuesday as my “extra post when I feel like making one” day.
Anyways, since we’re still sheltering in place (well, for the most part… at least I am) in the US, I’ve been doing more backyard photo shoots, because why not? 🤷♂️
This particular session is from a couple weeks ago, in the early evening when it was cloudy. I love taking pictures when it’s cloudy, especially if it’s something colorful, as the colors seem to pop more on a dreary day. Although, I also love cloudy weather, so I don’t consider it dreary 😂 When you live somewhere that’s sunny all the time, and doesn’t have a lot of variation in the weather, it’s nice to have a cloudy day or two (and some rain) to change things up!
On that note, here are the photos, and I hope you enjoy them!
We have some flamingos in our yard, these two in front are the newest additions!
I have so many pictures of these hibiscus, because the purple flowers are so pretty! There’s another hibiscus plant that I always take pictures of every year when it blooms because of how gorgeous the colors are.
A close up of one of the potted flowers we have… I should figure out what these are called 😂 These photos are of the same flowers, but because of the lighting, the colors ended up looking more red in the photo on the left. They are actually orange, as can be seen in the photo on the right.
This is a mushroom we found in the pot of one of our ficus’. It’s apparently called an astraeus hygrometricus (or hygroscopic earthstar, the barometer earthstar, or the false earthstar) according to one of the plant lover Facebook groups a close friend of mine is in.
As I mentioned earlier, this is one of my favorite plants in our backyard, and I take pictures of it every year when it blooms. Look at those gorgeous colors!I love these succulents in our backyard, I think they’re adorable!This photo is VERY heavily edited (in case you couldn’t tell 😂) but I love how it turned out, and now it’s my lock screen photo 👌
This is our neighbor’s plumeria. I had a lot of fun trying to get the photo just right so that they didn’t think I was taking photos of their house and acting like a stalker or something like that 😂
I really love this photo of the cat statue, but the original photo was a bit too washed out, in my opinion, so I did some editing to spruce it up 😉
I hope this little backyard photography session brightened up your day a little, bit! I will see you on Friday with a new post!
