The task for Day 25 of the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge is to ask a question of your readers. Lucky for me, this one came up at a great time when I actually have a question that I'm hoping you'll be able to help with!
One of my hobbies is photography. Right now, I only have a Cannon Powershot point and shoot, but I'm hoping that someday in the near future I'll be the owner of a digital SLR. One of my favorite subjects is flowers. I am actually amazed at the quality of some of the photos I've gotten out of my beat up little silver camera. Here are a couple of my favorites:
Recently I decided that I wanted to identify all of the flowers I've taken photos of. Oh my goodness, I didn't know what an undertaking it would be. I have tons of photos of Dahlias and Rhododendrons, but lots of other flowers that I'm not sure about.
In the past 2 weeks I've probably spent about 6 hours online trying to identify different flowers. There have been a few upsides. First, I've found some great resources for identifying flowers online. Second, I've actually managed to identify a few of my photos, including:
Cornflowers
Columbine
Thirdly, I have learned an important lesson - when photographing blossoms, always take a photo of the whole plant that includes the leaves. This would make identifying some of these flowers SO much easier. But, I am absolutely stuck on a few of them, and I'm hoping that SOMEONE out there will be able to help! Here are some of the ones that still have me stumped:
