This is a series about the neighborhood flowers and flowering trees that I saw and enjoyed on my walk in the neighborhood during the stay at home months. Many of the flowers I don’t know much about and depend on Google lens to get a name. If there are mistakes, apologize for my ignorance.
I am sure nearly everyone of my readers will be identify this one. I have couple of varieties of this in my garden. This is the season that these bright colored flowers bloom in abundance. As I walk the streets of our neighborhood, I can some many varieties in peoples front yard and by the roadside. Though Google lens identifies these as Regal pelargonium, I always knew them as geraniums. Shows my knowledge about flowers. When I took this photo, the two flowers together reminded me of a fluttering butterfly just about to take flight. That was nearly three weeks back. When I look at it today, it still looks to me like a beautiful butterfly. Let me know what you think.
As you can see from the photo, it was a very bright day when I took the photo. Not an ideal lighting condition for taking a photo with a cell phone without much control on aperture , shutter speeds etc, However the flowers were so vibrant that with some trial and error I was successful in capturing the flowers in the foreground without blowing the highlights completely.
On a different note, after nearly a month and half, I went out hiking on Stiles Ranch Trails. Will write about that in another post. Have a nice weekend. I hope to go back to writing poems during the weekend, picking up this thread next Monday. Have a good weekend dear readers and stay safe.
Where are you heading
My beauty
Spreading your wings to take flight
Rooted to the ground
You fill my heart with delight
Fleeting Muse
