FLOWER POWER

Be they soft and glowing, deeper and darker, perfectly matched or completely contrasting, these flowers are delight to my eyes and a solace for the soul. As for their names, I am with Shakespeare...'a rose by anyother name would smell as sweet!'. Congratulations to you and your Flower Power album. The power of it's it's wit and charm made me smile. Barb :)

said kligon 2002.09.28 at 15:27:51 PDT

Thankyou Rod, for your kind comments in my Sky shot album. We have been to Florida numerous times which is famed for its sunsets, but as you say the West Coast of Scotland takes some beating. I have just had chance to look at your latest flower album (having a break from sorting out my Arran pics) which is Gorgeous I particulary like "Silky Peach" but they are all lovely you make it difficult for me to pick a favourite.Thanks once again Rod. My Kindest Regards./Elaine.

said photomad6 2002.09.29 at 11:22:45 PDT

Excellent album, full of colour and your captions make it far more interesting... Love the Chris and Rod photo and the anniversary one, many congratulations to you both - Barb mentions it is your 15th. I too celebrated 35 years of marriage last month. Louise

said lcmcgil 2002.10.03 at 11:12:42 PDT

I must add my belated congratulations first of all Rod, to you and your wife on your 15th wedding annivesrary. When I commented the other day I was so delighted with your album that I missed the message you were sending out of your anniversary (I have made a note in my diary for next year LOL) Thanks Rod for your comments in my latest album. My Kindest Regards./Elaine. "Flower Power" Album is Gorgeous.

So happy that you are getting a bit of spring on your side of the giant pond. Best part is that I get to enjoy it too with these lovely new addition. Just my style. Well done, Rod! :)))

said gypsy646 2003.03.12 at 06:33:46 PST

Rod...This album is absolutely beautiful! I have not seen so much colour and variety in a floral album before. The photos show your love for the flowers and perhaps your love for the ones you give to Chris. I don't know, but it seems to me you like to give her flowers and that is very nice. I love Tiny Pinks, Warm glow, Star Gazers, and my very favourite is Tip of the Iceberg. The whole album is beautiful though and I am amazed at how many flowers you have there. We are getting warmer here, but trying to get all the snow to melt off the ground still. Thank you for sharing these. warm wishes, Barbara http://community.webshots.com/user/midnight_lace http://community.webshots.com/user/barbaramidnight

said janeloughney 2005.07.04 at 16:29:07 PDT

Hello Chris, I thought that my latest album was very cloourful, but I must say this one beats mine hands down, they are absolutely marvelous exactly what summer is all about except for the two daffs of course. thanks for the gb on my I'm album, if I could have chosen it would have been that one, I had so much fun doing it. I have several more to go on but I rthink now that I shall either leave it as it is or take a leaf out of your book and continually take some out and put some in, best wishes and good fortune, Ken

said hircock100 2005.07.04 at 23:15:15 PDT

Hi Rod. What can I say?. As I've come to expect with your albums, it's perfect. Everything you tried worked. The flowers with the purple and other coloured backgrounds, the different combinations in the bunches, just beautiful mate. You had one particular flower that you included in a lot of the photos, it was white with pink/red edges and Elaine told me it's a carnation. It was probably my favourite flower in here. Great stuff my friend. Catch you next time. Cheers Al.

said shortshooter 2005.07.05 at 00:33:19 PDT

Hi Rod again Getting Senile calling you Chris, I bet she is surprised to hear from me Lol. If my mate Al can get it right I must be senile not getting. See you Ken or should it be Carolynn

said hircock100 2005.07.05 at 01:12:49 PDT

Hi again Rod. I wasn't sure where the additions started so went right back to the start again and quite literally drooled over them! You have captured everything so well in their respective clusters etc. and have allowed we viewers to put our own names to them if we wish. A wonderful album that demonstrates your versatility with that camera so well. Good on yer! All the best, Peter

said rgarrow 2005.07.05 at 18:32:34 PDT

Hi Rod, I know you say you are not a flower man but these pictures really do capture them very wel., Having taken lots of flower pictures recently I know its not always easy to do so. My favourite has to be those poppies though I think it has to be be my favourite summer flowers when seen in the wild like you do. Thank you so much for the really kind comments in my East Blean Album. I'm glad you liked the picture of the path as I tried hard to capture just what that wonderful wood is like. I was back there yesterday taking more piccies of more of the tiny creatures that live there I'm really enjoying that but yes I am looking forward very much to our Scotland holiday too. Take care now Jill

said jillbatchelor 2005.07.06 at 06:26:44 PDT

Thanks again for visiting my albums Rod. Glad you enjoyd the make-a-donkey-show. The golden wonder flowers are great (as well are the others). Groeten, Mieke

said miekesphotos2 2005.07.17 at 11:47:34 PDT

Hi Rod! Flowers are always favourites and this album is absolutely superb! A wonderful assortment excellently photographed in vibrant colours. Your titles are fine, it is pleasing to see you have thought of something imaginative to complete your presentation. (What disappoints me are those who just leave the disk number, or 'copy of disk', etc). Great work! Thankyou for your kind words in my Marine Life guestbook, it is such a thrill to be featured today, even though many of the fish were too fast for my camera.. Best wishes.. Gladys, Western Australia.

said gladysclancy2 2005.08.05 at 22:25:18 PDT

Hi Rod! The flowers are gorgeous. I love the variety of colors and excellent photography. Thanks for your congratulations on my featured album from yesterday. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Sharon from Missouri

said photoop23 2005.08.06 at 12:25:02 PDT

I've lost track of the number of times I've been in for a peek at this album. It inspires me with it's colours and I have to ask a) were these all taken with the D100 and b) are they all presented as photographed or did you have to do a little photoshopping? The reason I ask about the D100 is that I am giving serious thought to a D70 which is currently being specialed in a local store and is complete with TWO lens - a 17-80 and a 70-300. I always had a soft spot for Nikons and it grieves me that my F3 never gets used nowadays. Anyway, I'll let you know if I take the plunge! C'mon the Aussies at The Oval!! LOL. All the best, Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.09.04 at 03:17:18 PDT

Sorry Rod - I got carried away and forgot to thank you for your entry in my garden in Spring GB! Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.09.04 at 03:18:07 PDT

Hello Rod, Great Flower power and colour power! Your macro of the wild poppies is so beautiful (lovely), the English Rose's so nice and the Daffodils on Green are really great! My other favourites are: 12, 36, the Golden Wonder (39) and the pretty Sunlit Crocus (58). Thanks for your kind comments on my featured album. Greetings from Belgium, Tatiana

said nefertaty 2005.09.04 at 13:17:31 PDT

I relly love the poppies and downloaded that one. Its on my screen saver now! Fantastic

said oceanloves 2005.10.02 at 02:57:20 PDT

I love the Pretty Pair and that is one very wonderful photo. I have to ask how you persuaded the flowers to stay still for you though because all this week we have been bugged by very strong winds which has made getting good shots of flowers very much a lottery! I'll catch up with you a bit later (haven't even unpacked yet - LOL) All the best Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.10.03 at 04:46:21 PDT

Hi Rod, yep had to get some trees in, I just love them, I like your idea about does it matter what they are called, that is fine by me, and makes a lot of sense, beauty does not need a name just eyesight to behold it. so I love all your beautiful flowers, bright colourful and elegantly presented. I could fill about 20 albums of the flowers that I have taken this year alone, but I think you can over do it. Today I saw two beautiful dahlia's and just hade to snap them , they will appear sometinme no doubt, take care my friend and thanks for all the Gb's Ken

said hircock100 2005.10.04 at 12:26:46 PDT

Dear Rod, No it still doesn't matter if you know their names flowers are just one thing I have always been able to remember though.I just love your poppies lovely to see them today as it reminds us of summer and I was interested in how you took your "Pretty pair" too Thank you so much for you lovely GB message very much appreciated That must have been a wonderful place to stay in a B&B. I'm sure we will return one day but meanwhile I Have enjoyed greatly sorting out all the pictures I took. There should more albums to see very soon.Take care now my friend Jill

said jillbatchelor 2005.10.04 at 15:28:18 PDT

Beautiful flowers and I'm with you I don't know all the names just that they are beautiful and you have some fragrant varieties as well I think. I love the scences from the country side in your other albums as well,,,,,Sandra from Australia

Rod: Thank you for the kind words on my first album. 1.2 megapixel Sony Mavica just isn't what it takes. I hope to upgrade to a Canon Rebel one of these days. I've learned by looking through your albums & others that I need to focus better on my subject matter ....I would be pleased for any future input from you....I would love to learn to take photo's such as yours.

Hi Rod, what an amazing beauty this album is! I love your Flower Power, and no, it's not so important to know the names of the flowers. I'm very bad remembering them myself. My very favourite of all these beauties is number 40, the Catchlight, it's perfect. Excellent colours and light! The whole album is a real joy to the eye. Thanks for sharing your brilliant flower power pics! And I want to thank you so much for your kindest words in my featured album, your visit is deeply appreciated, and I'm so glad you liked what I had been baking.

Hi Rod, you've added to this album and at first I thought the last three were the news ones but then it said 2003, so maybe you're reworking some. Whatever, they are all wonderful. I especially love 35, Tomorrows Beauty and 42 Golden Wonder, but I'd take any of them and call them mine! Thank you for sharing them...Judy/Florida

Hi Rod, What a glorious array of colours, each one wonderfully bright and with a clarity that I have come to expect from your wonderful photo's. What a joy to think that spring is almost upon us. we have already got the first signs, and I have managed to get a few, I have been planning a Spring album all winter I knew exactly how I wanted to do it, but my patience run out and I posted it a couple of days ago. Silly me but there is some nice shots I think in it, well my friend thanks for all the inspirtation that I glean from your marvellous albums, I always see something to improve my own efforts, take care and god bless Ken

Hello Rod - good to see you again. That is really a sign of better things to come when your daffodils and crocus start to appear. And what beautiful photos you have got of them, too. I had a look back through some of the others once again and, as before, have been admiring your gorgeous carnations. I like the way you have taken some of these flowers out of their surroundings and given them a black, green or otherwise appropriate background. It REALLY shows them off to distraction-less perfection doesn't it. We are going away again for about 10 days as from this coming Monday so who knows - I might even have a photo or two to show the world when we return! Until then, take care and all best wishes, Peter

said georgieboy98 2006.02.16 at 17:37:34 PST

Thanks Rod, for your note in my GB and thank you too, for clarifying your newest images. I really love the effects of the light in "Subtle Tones." ... Spring is coming! Judy/Florida

Hi Rod! I know I was just here recently, but you've added some more beauties. The Perfect Family is one of my favorites and I loved the crocus, as well as all the others. Have a great Friday. Sharon

Hello Rod, Thank's for the G/B entry on Spain. the weather was great, but I left my Camera in the hotel, put it somewhere, and thought it had been pinched. was not bothered, as it was only my Olympus. I found it when I was ready to come home. Wanted to go on the Cable Car, but it was closed anyway. You have a beautiful album here Rod. Great photos, You are like me I don't know what some Flowers are called either. Thanks for sharing. Ray and Eileen. (UK)

Rod! Thanks so much for the comments on my Victoria album. I've started a second, & changed the name slightly. I hope you'll have a peek! Thanks again.---Nancy

Dear Chris, I wondered what you had been upto recently but the weather has been less than inspiring to get out and about with a camera recently hasn't it. I'm not sure which ones are the new ones in here so I enjoyed seeing them all again. I particulally like your cover shot and also the two little golden wonders too. Hope you are keeping well, take care now Jill

More gorgeous pix, I especially love the flowers with the very dark backgrounds (like the crocus) Wonderful, Rod! - claudia

Hi Rod and I'm glad to see that so many of our Webshots community feel the same as I do about this album of yours, which is very well deserving of all the praise it is attracting. Also it was very good of you to look at my Kingdom of the Karri album and to write such kind words in the GB. We have a certain affinity for that area - do you get that same feeling about certain places? Places that seem to keep calling you back? We'll be back down there later in the year, for sure. Hope all is well - I saw on TV that the south west was getting snowed on so I hope it is not affecting you too much - maybe it is just Dartmoor that's getting it? 38 deg C here today - again. Was likewise pretty well all the time we were away and certainly ever since we've been back. Cheers for now and we'll catch up again before too long. All the best, Peter

Damn, you are good! I don't know the names of flowers either, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying them! Email me privately if you like. I am taking photography courses right now. Linda

Hi Rod, Sorry, I got the name wrong in my last message. Beautiful colours here. Great macro work! I love taking flowers myself and often do not know what they are called. Oh well, Im sure they wouldn't mind if they knew. Take care. Chesca.

Hi Rod! wow, what an incredibly beautiful album! The flowers are just spectacular and your photography is flawless. I was so happy to read that you don't care about names of flowers either! I know very little about flowers and to me it's a pain to try and name them all! Thanks for sharing this beauty and your talent with us all...take care...Darlene

said briansbabe2 2006.03.21 at 15:48:51 PST

Hi Rod! You have a wonderful eye for the colour and beauty of flowers and you have proved that you can add interesting titles without knowing the names of the flowers! Well done! You have been well rewarded for your efforts to get depth in the Dahlias at #1 & #4. Thankyou for sharing this wonderful album. Gladys, Western Australia.

said gladysclancy2 2006.03.28 at 00:00:00 PST

Hi Rod, beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I defy anybody not to see the beauty here, I have been taking scores of pics of flowers lately but find it dificult to find the right compositions, yours are always so perfect, so I shall have to study and learn from artists like you. just beautiful Rod, take good care my friend and keep the clicking finger working Ken

said hircock100 2006.03.30 at 12:45:10 PST

Hi Rod, Hey, some flowers just stand right out and give out the name without you knowing it! I wouldn't worry about grabbing names out of a book, most of these most already know. A real nice album, plenty of colors and if you're experiencing these already, its warmer where you live than it is here, that's for sure! Best regards to you and yours. Ron/Oregon Coast

said rboise 2006.03.31 at 08:15:49 PST

Hi Rod! Many thanks for your kind remarks on "Forest Walk". I have a different camera from the one that took the majority of those photos, so a little less overexposure in the more recent pics!Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed them.All the best---Nancy

said lynne294 2006.04.01 at 14:14:20 PST

Hi Rod, thank you very much for you kind words in my featured album of Anemones about two weeks ago. I very much appreciate your compliments! I think I've never written in your guestbooks, but I know most of your album quite well. This one is new to me, even it is an Oldie. Actually I know your scenery albums much better than the others. But these flowers are AMAZING. The colors, the deep of a picture, the composition. Your macros leave me speechless! Your captions make the album a journey through flower-wonder-land. The crocuses field and the and that amazing view of lots of red poppies are my favorites. Okay, the cover picture, too and the English rose and ...and... and... there is no end in the line of my favorites. Rod, it was a pleasure to visit here! Have a wonderful day, too! Galit from Israel

Hi Rod; it's a pleasure to me to visit your site cause I see many interesting albums here. I just enjoyed your "Flower power": very beautiful photos; a real pleasure to my eyes to view all the wonderful colours. I see many good compositions here; go on with your great work. Thank you very much for your visit to my featured album last monday. Greetings and best wishes from Holland, Els

said ejooren 2006.05.21 at 10:49:31 PDT

Hello Rod, Thanks for your kind comments in my Riot of Colour album. I have only just started trying to do macros - most of them are dismal failures but have a couple in my Macros album that I am quite pleased with. If I get these mediocre results with my humble Fuji Finepix, just think what you'll achieve with your Nikon plus macro lens! I'll be watching out for your Macro album! Best wishes, Mandy

said mistywisp 2006.06.18 at 14:14:13 PDT

No, names don't really matter with the beauty, color, variety and excellent shots you've taken here. Like a giant flower garden all in bloom at once. Very nice!

said kimfoos 2006.06.22 at 12:34:56 PDT

I have been so taken up with viewing your wondrful images of the UK I miss that I have never notices this gem of an album before. You are a man of many talents. This Flower Power album is gorgeous. It is the middle of our 2nd driest winter ever here at the moment and this album is a real pick me up. Lovely blooms, colour and compositions. Rod thankyou so much for stopping by my latest album, it was tricky with one hand, thankgoodness for a tripod. Hope to be back snapping soon, stiches are all out at last, just need to get muscles working and strengthened. Your many glowing compliments are very much appreciated. Always a pleasure to hear from you .. regards poppy
