Piles of roses

Orchids on the windowsill

In summer I spend most days in my rose garden enjoying the colorful flowers unfold themselves and spread their sweet scent of summer. In winter while the roses are asleep my orchids get the attention. 11 of them are blooming these days. These pictures are of my Cymbidium and Dendrobium. 

Australian flowers

I don't know much about flowers. These may not be Australian native flowers but they are all found in Australia in various gardens, parks and zoos. Flowers are perfect models. 

I prefer using a narrow dof when I shoot pictures of flowers. Gives them a more romantic look, I think. f/ 1.4 - 2.0
