Sweet Scent of Spring

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spring is just bursting here in New England! I love white flowers, so I picked up this Hyacinth a few days ago for next years garden. Had a bit of fun working with lighting :) & was very happy with the results...and the fragrance...WOW! it's totally incredibly awesome!

Thanks to all of you for your wonderful comments! : )
LOL, Don't they just smell incredible Wendy : )
The lighting is pretty simple, I used a clamp-on work light, the one I have for my light box. (it has a 100 watt bulb in it) I clamped the light to a back of a chair, pulled down all the window shades, turned out all the other lights, it was nighttime so I didn't really have to worry to much about the background, but a black piece of material or paper would do if needed. So I then just played around with the adjustment of the lighting angle so that it wouldn't blast out the colors to much. Fun and very, very easy!

Hi Stacie, Thanks! : )
I'm sure MA & CT have got to be pretty near the same with our plants, so I'm sure yours are just as pretty as these are : )

Spectacular lighting effect! I'm not a fan of hyacinth fragrance and like Wendy I could smell it as soon as I saw the photo. I forgive you :-) ... beauty prevails.
