White New England Asters
These photos are my collection of asters on the trail to the light house at Belle Isle. They seem to bloom earlier on the trail than at any other places, but they grow at the edge of the trail, with the benefit of having full sun all the time.
As I carefully examine the flower, some of them have rounder looking petals, and maroon color centers, while some have much thinner petals with yellow centers.
These are wild asters in the wild, and they look extra beautiful among the greenery look of the forest. They are elegant, pure, and breath-taking to see.
Being outdoor does magic in my tired soul! All the beauties in this world distracted my thoughts or whatever was in my mind for a while.
I am not a professional photographer so my pictures didn't turn out all that great! I am sure there are tips and tricks for me to learn to improve, but time is what I don't have, ever! Not just now, but ever!

You did a great job, the flowers looks so delicate.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Icy. I really didn't know what these were, they look so much like daisies, now I know. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThey are a little different from each other! And, they ARE beautiful! Wonderful captures.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you have time to enjoy the flowers...
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous pictures of flowers, professional or not! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful flower to grow in he wild. Never seen these in our part of the country. Our Asters usually bloom around August.
ReplyDeleteHappy Outdoor Wed.

Stunning really -- I agree you can see the little details close up that you would not notice just from a glance. You see also the difference in each flower that they are unique to themselves, good photos really enjoyed these macros.
ReplyDeleteHappy Outdoor Wednesday.

Icy, you don't need to be a professional to dazzle me. I love your pics!
ReplyDeleteThey do look pretty against the green background and I love the maroon centers. What a delight to find them growing in the wild. :)
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful. I know what you mean, being outside and enjoying nature's beauty around me really recharges and soothes me.

Lovely! Your photos are great... like the work of a professional. You have an eye for beauty so don't worry about tips and tricks on photography because I believe that your heart will teach you that.
ReplyDeleteI think they are just pretty! Love the green and white and the way it's framed! Some of mine came out more abstract recently..but so what? It's fun.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend!
These are lovely images Icy! You don't need to be a pro to have an eye for beauty.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI think you did just as great a job as a professional would have done with these shots. They are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty asters, they are such a happy flower. It looks like there are two very similar varieties in your photos.
ReplyDeleteIf we were required to be professionals to show our photos there would be a lot less of us online. You have a great eye for beauty Icy, that's the most important part of photography.
Valuable info. Lucky me I found your site by accident, I bookmarked it.
