Cosmos and Sky

I’ve been taking these pretty flowers for granted, but when I looked closely, I saw that it has wonderful blossoms. 


I held it up to the sky to get a back-lit picture. (This was shot using my phone and no tripod, so I set a three-second delay in order to press the button and then move the flower into position. One disadvantage of phone photography is that it takes two hands!)


The sky deserved its own picture.

  5. Great photo, I love your flower. I have the same issue often with a phone for a camera. It is also hard to take photos with a phone while walking a lively dog. I take along a point and shoot camera many times for that.
