Purple Asters

I saw these purple/pink asters on nature trail on Belle Isle, where my son likes to go fishing, last month. They were two different colors of these asters as you can see in the pictures below.

Purple-Pink Asters


I noticed that the more sun the flowers received, the fuller the petals were. This pink color is just absolutely beautiful, but it was a very windy day for my camera to catch a good picture of them.

Lavender Asters


This cluster of flowers was way back on the trail, and the petals were much thinner than the purple/pink flowers. Most of these flowers were all dried out, but some were bursting out in full force.

Fun With Curly Aster


I am playing with this curly aster in sepia, but keeping the center of the flower in its original color.

Beautiful colors! I have never seen the skinny petals on the second photo.
It is exciting to play around editing photos!

Very pretty colors on the asters, I really like the purple ones. The sepia looks good Icy, the splash of color is great.

Asters are called baby's breath here in the Philippines, it comes in white and purple, pink one are very seldom here.

The flowers are beautiful, and you're a great photographer, outstanding.
Have a nice day and keep a song in your heart, Lee.

Some similarities, and also some differences, a very fun and fascinating post!
