on the kitchen windowsill March 2, 2008

A couple of months ago, I clipped some cuttings off one of my geraniums waiting out the winter down in the cellar. One clipping rooted very quickly, so I potted it and placed it in the kitchen window, with my African Violets. The plant has grown like crazy, and now has several blossoms getting ready to open. I wish I could say exactly what the name of this plant is, but it was one I got at a no name tag sale for 99ยข. Outdoors, the color was a lot brighter, and not so pretty as it is in indoor light.
Here is a view shooting straight down at the flower. I used the close up setting on Nikon Coolpix 4300 for both of these shots. There are a couple more shots on my Flickr site of this photo enhanced with the fractal trace and seamless filters in the GIMP graphics program. Just click on the shot above to get there.
What a great looking flower and photograph
Lovely — what a great way to jumpstart spring!
Absolutely breathtaking. I have just purchased a digital camera and beginning to learn to take pictures and put in my emails. I am a new blog reader at the encouragement of my daughter who is a writer.
I have been reading your site and find so much in common with you that it is almost overwhelming to write you.
I miss my beautiful old farmhome. The woods, my gardens and the wildlife.
Made a move to the city. Built a smaller home with smaller yard to be near my children and 2 little granddaughters 2 and 5.
My home was finished end of June and moved in. So I am busy planning my much smaller cottage garden. I brought cuttings of most of my flowers. Even plan in one corner to have a small kitchen garden.
One of my daughters and family live in Longmeadow, Mass. Those 2 grandchildren are in the beginning at the University not far from my home.
Anyway, your blog is one of my favorites.
Blessings from another gardener in Tennessee.

I love the scent of geranium. Not all, do. Is that the same camera you use for your other outdoor photography?
I love the photos ! .. I try to take close ups .. macro mode and all that but if I get one good one out of a dozen I am lucky. These are gorgeous !
Such a pretty type of geranium too .. makes me hang on to the hope of Spring/summer ? LOL
