Beautiful,that wind is a killer when trying to photograph flowers!

[@-gengorow-9061]

The soft natural color is beautiful！😊ありがとうございます🙏✨

[@LieslHuddleston]

Yes, these flowers have interesting muted tones of color, fun to photograph, thank you!

[@vintage_lenses9878]

Another 7 minutes of beautifully narrated video with great photos. Thank you

[@LieslHuddleston]

So nice of you to say, thank you very much!

[@michaelsheehanrealestate]

As always stunning Liesl!

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks, Michael!

[@howardgrillphotography2280]

They are quite beautiful....thought I hate the message of the end of summer :) Really beautiful photos. Love how you isolate the flowers.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks, Howard. We've been enjoying the change in weather here, still gets hot some days but the cooler temps have been welcome. This past week I went out on an overcast cool day and took so many photographs, the video is taking forever to edit. It might still be another 2 weeks before it is finished. I hope you're doing well :)

[@howardgrillphotography2280]

Liesl Huddleston I’ll look forward to that video Liesl! All good here and hope the same is true for you

[@rubyhopper6751]

Very beautiful flower! Awesome video.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you Ruby, yes they are lovely flowers!

[@CliftonTicehurst]

Just stunningly beautiful Liesl 🤗 the images, the chose of music and your narration brings it all together for a peaceful, relaxing well crafted video 👏 Brilliant. Cliff

[@LieslHuddleston]

Many thanks, Cliff! These brought me back to my early days of photography, nice experience standing there by that field and thinking about how much I enjoyed those early days discovering all these new flowers and subjects to photograph :D

[@mellyrachman1707]

You should have much more subscribers. Your channel is really good.

[@LieslHuddleston]

I appreciate that, thank you!

[@photocreativity]

Another great video and gorgeous images. Thank you.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you! With everything being the same muted tones and colors, I almost didn't post this one, but it was a nice cloudy morning and I wanted to remember it :) Thank you for watching.

[@vikaspthorat]

One more time, I loved it.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you, Vikas!

[@vuke500]

I enjoyed your photograph in art and getting beautiful feeling in my mind.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you for your kind comment, I'm happy you are enjoying the videos :)

[@Rishat23]

Wonderful everything! ❤️

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks, glad you liked it. I almost didn't post it, with everything being the same color, a little bit boring, but it was a nice day to remember :)

[@MicaelWidell]

Beautiful video, beautiful photos!

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks! It's been hot and cloudless for so many weeks, it was nice to get out a bit, looking forward to autumn!

[@DavidSenteno]

What beautiful flowers. I've never seen then before. Thanks for sharing. 🥂

[@LieslHuddleston]

They are lovely, some fields here are more densely covered than this one and they really do look like a blanket of snow from a distance - which can feel odd since we're having temps up to 100+ LOL

[@normameyers4904]

Love your videos. They are so relaxing.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks so much, Norma!

[@belindaschindler1703]

This is so beautiful. I love all your videos. Thank you so much.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you very much, Belinda!

[@bobdecker166]

Beautiful flower photography, both with the DSLR and phone. I particularly like seeing your work with the 100-400mm, since that is the lens I use. Very inspirational.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks, Bob! It was the lens of choice for these messy wildflowers, much easier to reach far into the crowded field with the zoom lens :) I almost didn't post it to the general audience as I wasn't entirely happy with it. So I'm glad you liked it.

Sunken head in the few moments of lime. Sincere shutter breaks the clouds on the ground with a fistful of meat. Vegetables are never to be forgotten. It's Tiger's Balm which is the new capital of the southwest of Cameroon.

[@LieslHuddleston]

First comment! :D

[@PaulFaracePhotography]

Wow so beautiful! I love the white rimmed edges on the leaves and the tiny delicate flowers. Another wonderful video Leisl, thanks so much for sharing!!

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks, Paul! I hope things are going well out there in Florida land :)

[@michaelwhite1322]

As always, a really beautiful video!

[@laurielphotography1118]

These were beautiful captures, Liesl. I especially like the photo at 5:20. Thank you for sharing! Be well~

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you, Lauriel! It's interesting how fuzzy these are, on the flowers and the leaves and stems. They have a toxic milky white sap, like poinsettia's do, so perhaps they aren't meant to be super attractive for touching and eating and the hairs are therefore a deterrent :)

[@davidharle8794]

Another wonderful video. You make it all look so easy and calm, but I know it is actually very difficult to achieve the effects you create. Your secret is that you are really an artist posing as a photographer!

[@LieslHuddleston]

That's so kind of you to say, David, thank you! It just takes lots of practice and where some say not to look at other photographers' work because that could influence your style too much, I say - enjoy it! Look at the work that you admire by other photographers/artists, on photography sites or Instagram, etc., and ask yourself questions about what you like about the work, what you think they did to get that result and then go out and play :) It has not always been easy, and sometimes it is still a challenge for me but the more I play with the camera/settings/compositions the easier it becomes.

[@davidharle8794]

@@LieslHuddleston Thank you for taking the time to reply and for your advice, I think most of my photography these days is creative play too!

[@caroljohnson4321]

What sweet and beautiful flowers. Loved watching the video!

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you, Carol! I was amazed to discover that I hadn't photographed these over the last 6 years and they are everywhere here this time of year. If I can, next year I'd like to photograph one of the more dense flowering fields as they really do look like a blanket of snow from a distance.

[@RC-74]

Always enjoy your presentations. Thank you!

[@LieslHuddleston]

So nice of you, thanks Robert!

[@TheDoe53]

Thank you! As always, beautiful!

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you too!

[@lindarosen5297]

A fan, Viewing your very lovely and inspiring videos from Canada. ‘Snow on the prairie ‘is new to me and surprised that I have never seen it here since the similar annual E.Marginata or ‘snow on the mountain ‘is readily available. Perhaps it needs a longer, Texas sized , growing season to produce ‘snow’?

[@LieslHuddleston]

That is an interesting observation, sounds like a plausible reason to me! I read about Snow-on-the-mountain and looked at some pictures, quite pretty too! Some fields here are absolutely covered in them right now and really do look like snow from a distance, so pretty. This particular tract of land usually has more than this, but it is different every year. I read about their ballistic seed dispersal, I would love to witness that! :D Thank you for your comment, Linda! I'm happy you're enjoying the videos.

[@elke1317]

Beautiful! I think, we do not have these flowers in Germany.

[@LieslHuddleston]

I wonder if you have something similar, these are related to the Christmas flower "poinsettia" I'm not sure if you have those, we often see the cultivated red variety, but I read that the same shade of green like these are the original poinsettia. This particular plant is native to our area and some nearby states.

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Wow loved that! I saw you comment on one of Wills videos, I’ll be binge watching and I’ve subbed your channel, absolutely fantastic stuff! ❤️

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you so much, JP! I love Will's channel, such great content! I'm happy you're here, and I appreciate the nice comment. :)

[@daniellegrandpa]

Can you do some fall videos.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Hopefully! It all depends on where I am able to visit and what the weather will be like and if we can get time off. I'll surely try :)

[@daniellegrandpa]

Are all your videos via phone?

[@LieslHuddleston]

The video work is a mix between my phone and a little Canon G7Xii. I don't take much pride in my video footage, I have a lot of trouble with it as I'm a bit impatient and don't take the time to use good settings. I keep telling myself I'll learn to do that and yet the photography continues to be the priority LOL I sometimes take video with my DSLR and I should do more of that, but I find it most convenient to use the phone or the little camera.
