Wordless Wednesday - Gladiolus Bloom
This week's Wordless Wednesday is a bloom from one of our gladioli just as it was beginning to turm. For some reason I like flowers as they but ans as they decline, but then I am perverse.
You're so talented, excellent shot yet again. Hopeing to start an evening class on Digital Photography (just in case there's not enough to fill my life!!!)so I may come a knocking for hints x x x
Isn't it amazing how flowers can just look good all the time? I want to be a flower. I want people to take pictures of me and say, "OH..isn't it beautiful?" The color, the shadows even look good.. I don't wear shadows well..under my eyes. *sigh*
perhaps you like it because there are millions of photos at their peak of beauty. but it is more difficult to do a great photo in decline. this is really great; love the black background.

[lets try a third attempt at this poxy word verification shall we? I truly hate this part of Blogger]
Another stunning photo from you. The colors are so rich. Love it!
Why do I feel that it's going to extend it's fangs in a minute? It is a lovely colour though.
Btw, I hate word verification too!
Looks like a jazz concert. :)

Looks like that flower could lead to a whole other universe!

Gorgeous shot!
Happy WW!

I love glads. My grandfather used to bring home huge bunches of them, and put them in an old champagne chiller for my grandmother.
You visited my bookblog (Bibliotica), for which, thank you, and I hope you don't mind me returning the visit from my regular account.
Wow!! As always, Beautiful!!!

I don't think it's perverse at all, however, when i look at this picture I see a throat and tonsils-but that could be because I have a cold!!
Happy WW

nice pic...
What a lovely glad it is!
That is a beautiful photo. But I am just a tiny bit nervous that the flower looks like it wants to eat me all up. At least he only has three teeth.
This WW, right?
Excuse me for writing ONE word: Impressed
I actually said 'Oh boy!' out loud when your picture came up. Very dramatic.
Thanks for your kind comments
Beautiful. What a great shot. Have a great WW. :)
Great shot!
Love the colors. You're really good.
Beautifully done! :)
