“You are all the colors in one, at full brightness.” —Jennifer Niven
This week my assignment for the 52 photo challenge was to focus on a dominant color in the frame. My mom is visiting from Washington and we went together to the local plant nursery in search of color. It was a warm day and the sunlight was harsh, but we had a lovely time.
Most of these ended up being macro shots, which I think still work. Let me know which one you think best fits the challenge and if you have a favorite. Hope your week is wonderful!

Love the crisp macro details, especially 2, 8 and 10! 🙂 Those sharp colour contrasts really sparkle here <3
I’m so happy you like them. Thank you!
Beautiful pictures very detailed.
Thank you so much!
Number four. Or one. Not sure which i like best. 😊
I really like the shadow of the stamen in #1, but #4 is my favorite kind of magical green. Glad you like them.
Fantastic pictures.
You are so kind! Thank you.
🙏🙏🙏
All are excellent macro photos, Bridgette! Well done. ❤️😊
Thank you so much, John! Next weeks prompt is to fill the frame and I am afraid I’ll just fall back on more macro. Trying to think of what to photograph that might work…
That is all up to you, Miss. Photographer! 😊
Many many fine photographs. But one where I took a longer breath.
Number seven. I title it, “search for life on another planet.” Subtitled, “Eureka, we found it.” I love purple bees and orange is very interesting – chose that as “my color” once upon a time (don’t know any more). But red? Who can argue with red? Not me. Delicious. Exotic. Double dare you!
Actually I used to love and buy bright red floral shirts, then get them home to realize, no, too bold for me. Nothing I could wear. But that was then and now, the story has changed. Good pictures, thanks for sharing Bridgette.
Thank you! I adore your title of that bright red flower. Your comments always make me smile! I wonder if by “the story has changed” that means you wear those red floral shirts now?
Yep. Not afraid anyway. But still, I lean into Johnny Cash, the man in black – my go to style (unless maybe I was in PG. brings out the floral in me)
Good ones Bridgette. I like the bee peering over the flower 🙂
I liked that one too! Thank you.
Eye-popping, Bridget! My favorites are Nrs. 2 & 8.
Thank you so much! Isn’t that little moth/butterfly adorable? I loved how it matched the color of the flowers.
My favorite is 5, but I can’t explain why…
Thank you! I liked that one too. For me, it’s as if we are peering into the flower world. Perhaps we are the size of that bee. How fun is that?
Yes… So much detail that we miss with the naked eye.
4 and 6, other worldly.
I rather like my photos being called other worldly. Thank you! ❤️
Your mom is cute and that bee photo. Wow!
Thank you!! Yes, I do really love photographing bees. They are so interesting.
Love your work! Maybe some spring you’ll venture to the desert with your camera. 🌵
That would be amazing!
brilliant
That’s high praise 🙂 thank you!! ❤️
The best macro shots. Wonderful photoshoot. All pics are great. I love Frist one & last. And heading yellow 🟡 pic. ❤️
So glad you liked them! Thank you.
Most welcome!
They’re all incredibly beautiful! Going with #8 this time around.
That was one of my favorites too. Thank you for always being so supportive ❤️
I’d choose #4 for the challenge….love all the shades of green. #2 is my favorite, I LOVE how sharp the fronds are against the black backdrop. And the answer is YES to #12. I hope you had a wonderful visit! 💞
Thank you! My mom is staying the entire month so I’ll get to take photos with her at least one more time. Hooray! I was thrilled at how that fern turned out. Glad you like it too!
The photography is stunning. Active life beautifully captured.
What a kind comment! Thank you so much.
My pleasure 🙂
Tough to pick just one! You really knocked this assignment out of the park! I like yellow, so the header photo is one of my faves: it has a bit more drama than some of them. I like #4 and #9 a lot.
Thank you! I’m so happy you liked so many of my photos this week. I rather liked that header image too. Lots to look at with the different flowers, but who can resist the lushness of green?
Stunning shots! Love all the cellular symmetry you’ve captured 🙂
Thank you so much! Close-up shots are my favorite for sure.
Sorry, I’m so very late with my comment, Bridgette. I’m still trying to play catch-up on WP, although I’m afraid I have missed lots of people’s posts recently, and I hate to do that. I do know that you understand me so well, though, and I’m grateful for that.
I love all your photos, but my favourite shots are #2, the ferns, which are a vivid, crisp green. Also, I like #5 as the orange colour is so intense, and I love the bee on the flower, too. Finally, I love the mysterious #6 – the green colour being translucent almost looks like glass, but I’m not quite sure. I’d love to know what it is. Much love to you, my friend. Xxx 💓🤗💓✨💓
Thank you for always leaving me such wonderfully kind comments, Ellie. You are such a beautiful person ❤️ #6 is glass! It’s a jellyfish wind chime to hang in the window. It was actually a few of them next to each other. I just liked that angle and the way the light was hitting it. Much love back to you dear friend. Hope you are doing well today ❤️
Wow, these are so vibrant and cool. I like 3, 5, and 8 best.
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked them. Taking photos at the local plant nursery almost feels like cheating as there’s so many beautiful things to photograph.
