Over spring break, our family dog-sat our cousin's dog, and the little dog is adorable! So one shiny, sparkly afternoon, I took him out to let him do his business. We walked a little, he did his business, and we started heading back inside. Then, as I put my right foot on the step, I felt something touch the back of my neck, and saw a petal fall down. And then I dramatically turn my head to the left and caught a glimpse at the trees next to the front door. Then this brilliant idea whizzed by... I was going to take pictures of the flowers on the tree.
The thing was, as I was taking the pictures, I was literally tied down. The dog was my responsibility at that time, but I had to take pictures that afternoon because the weather was toasty and clear. The dog could've remained inside, but why leave him indoors while I'm appreciating the weather outdoors.... What I did was keep his leash tied to my leg, and he's a well behaved chap so I didn't have to worry about him dragging me away. And therefore I was literally tied down.
So here are the glossy images, and I'm just going to lightly comment on each because the huge pictures can speak for themselves.
An airy, breezy message from this picture. In fact, it was certainly breezy while I took this picture.
I discovered that filters work so well for these flowers.
Even a black and white filter with high clarity.
Composition is the main idea here, the branch going through the top and the flowers dropping down porportionately.
The flowers are lit! :) The sunlight illuminates both flowers from the back, and it looks great against the contrasted branch behind.
The camera went awry here, it focused on something in the middle. But I'm not blaming it on the camera, I'm going to say that was intentional...!
This is not what it was supposed to look like either. I wanted to get the farthest flower in focus, but it was so windy, the camera had a hard time focusing. But again, not blaming it on the camera, going to say this was intentional...!
This picture gives the impression that the sun just rose and time to get the busy morning started. Backlight is a very powerful lighting technique for any picture. 
Witness the power of the spotlight and the black vinegrette in this picture.
