Second in a series of photographs of this red zinnia. Photographed at Allen Centennial Gardens in Madison Wisconsin.
Red Zinnia Abstract
I visited the Allen Centennial Gardens in the evening hours and found a bed of red zinnias awash in the last of the day’s light. I seem to be enjoying zinnias this summer, a flower I haven’t had much previous acquaintance with. I found many perspectives from which to shoot, including this close up taken parallel with the flower. I had a great time at this red beauty’s portrait sitting.
I’ll be at the Summer Art Classic Fine Arts Festival at the Courthouse Square in Baraboo, Wisconsin on Saturday August 14. If you’re in the area, stop by my booth and say hello.
Red Bridge Reflection
Interesting colors towards the end of the day while visiting Allen Centennial Gardens on the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison. Love the mix of bright colors – yellow-greens from the trees’ reflections, the bridge’s reflection in bright red, and the blue-green tinted lily pads.
