This is project #3 for C & C Photography's spring photography workshop.
I chose red for my subject, to show the wonderful variation in the colors of spring ... all you have to do is look carefully.
Enjoy!
As you can see, red and green aren't just for Christmas anymore.
All of this beautiful spring growth promises armloads of flowers in a few weeks.
Be sure to visit C & C Photography to see which colors the other participants chose. They're a very creative bunch, and I'm always in awe of what their work.

Lovely spring shots! It's nice when nature provides your complementary colors for you! Perfect assignment.
ReplyDeletenumber 6 is my favorite, with the rose branch all thorny behind it. What a beautiful garden it must be! I am still waiting for snow to quit coming where I live! Keep up the great photos.
ReplyDeleteNice garden you must have with those lovely leaves. I love green and the red in the leaves just fits beautifully. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteIt's delightful to see the red and green, and the roses...which are beautiful throughout much of the year even without blossoms, in spite of what many say!
ReplyDeleteAnd not just any red! That color is so special. I remember Graham Thomas saying that only roses that come from China root stalk produce new red growth. I think of that every spring. So glad you were able to capture it for all to enjoy. Happy weekend, Connie.
ReplyDeleteI love roses!
ReplyDeleteAnd we chose the same colours! Isn't that great?
I love red in leaves, your pictures are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!!

so interesting how nature does the whole two-tone thing. you've captured the new growth from many different angles, and in many stages from red to green. effective!
ReplyDeleteLook at all that wonderful spring growth...it has me giddy for summer blooms and April showers are far from over!! :) Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteAdore the red and green! I noticed a lot of red and green in my garden too!
ReplyDeleteI love how you showed your red! I am so happy to see signs of spring and your photos show that of beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYes Connie, red and green are amazing rose companions this time of year. Beautiful leaves!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast between the greens and the brownish reds - beautiful! You're so right - this assignment has brought me a whole new appreciation of the colours around me, too! The photo of the pink flowers is beautiful!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely story of roses leaves.
ReplyDeletebeautiful garden. well done
What a lovely story of spring time growth in your rose gardens. Soon you'll be seeing buds and flowers. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I've never even thought about how much red and green are in the spring...and fall, not winter, well some I guess, but not as much! I love how the light plays off the leaves in your pics.

i love the shadow in the background of that first photo and that bright green in the last. you must be getting swallowed up in spring right now!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I was noticing the new growth on our roses today and admire the bronze and ruby notes.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope to see you again soon!
