Bachelor's Buttons, Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus). A Greeting Card with this image can be purchased directly from me at Rob's Photo Shop. In the spring in our front garden we have a yellow-leaved ground cover called Creeping Jenny, which turns green in the summer. Above that we have growing bluish mauve Bachelor's Buttons. By throwing the yellow background out of focus, the Bachelor's Buttons stand out strongly and the yellows and blues work well together. © Rob Huntley

Frost-covered seed heads of garden plants in November. Next image is the same except that I have post-processed with artistic filter in PhotoShop. This photograph was taken in our front garden in the fall, just as winter frosts were approaching. These were Black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia) believe it or not. The seed heads have a light dusting of frost in the early morning. The image has been tweaked digitally to give it a painterly feeling.
