Alcove With Flowers. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
Freshly-picked daffodils in a pot in a garden alcove.
This was a rather serendipitous photograph. We had been photographing in this large garden for an hour or two. The sun was getting higher in the sky, making the light less appealing for photographing foliage, and we decided it was time to move on. We were on our way toward the exit of the garden when I passed through a gate in a brick wall and just happen to look back… and see this little scene built into the wall.
I paused for just a moment and quickly made two exposures before we left. I had an idea that the color of the light colored daffodils would contrast with the darker textures of the alcove and the pot containing the blossoms. This was literally my last photograph of the morning.
