A Morning Glory flower glows in the early light of day. Every year I plant these pretty annual vines because they grow quite quickly and seem to do okay in my predominantly shady garden.

Imagery of Light 
Wonderful composition, the colors are quite lovely.
thanks – I really like vines – they look so wild.
This is beautiful!! Absolutely LOVE the light and the colors – it really does look like it’s glowing, doesn’t it?
thanks Holly – early morning light and these flowers are open and ready to shine! the bees love them.
I love the coloring in this photo….so soft and beautiful. Wonderful photo!
thank you Jolene – they are such a nice soft powder blue colour.
Wow – and even more wows! This is absolutely gorgeous. I love everything about this image. I’ve tried a few times to get a similar effect – particularly with my petunias – but the results are all rubbish. I’m going to leave this page open on my laptop today so I can keep looking at it!
thanks Meanderer – I too have tried lots of backlit shots of these flowers and my petunias that don’t look the way I had hoped… not sure why but perhaps just the right amount of light, at the right angle, at the right time… it was one of those times when I saw it and went and got my camera…. instead of hunting around for it.. ha ha kinda like a lot of things in life eh?

thanks cocomino – they are pretty flowers – I bet you have some in your garden.
Gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, wonderful – I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!! If I could vote for which posts get picked for “Freshly Pressed” – I’d nominate this one so that everyone could see it 🙂
I’m liking what Monotone has done with this one!!
thanks Lu! wow – I appreciate your kind words. I’m working on the 7 post… it is not as easy as I first thought… but am enjoying looking back through the blog.
The most important thing about the 7 Links is that you do enjoy it (well, at least that’s what I think!) It’s a good place to be in if the decision making isn’t easy – it means you have some awesome posts to choose from to share with us!!
thanks Lu! yes, it is enjoyable to be sure… just a bit stuck on the “helpful” post.. ? I’ll come up with something….
