Beautiful flowers and perhaps a little sublime

This is a post, is for Beautiful Sunday hosted by @ace108, and Sublime Sunday, created and hosted by @c0ff33a,
one day this week the sun actually made a bit of an appearance and I decided to get some shots of flowers in the gardens around the city before the cold spell came and most likely did them in for this season, and glad I did as on Friday the real feel never rose above freezing point and yesterday wasn't much better, today the temps start rising a little but for how long who knows LOL

Flowers are often seen as beautiful and I felt these were, I was playing around with my 50+-year-old Helios 44-2 Russian lens which gives a swirly background bokeh for this shots which adds a bit ) I hope ) of a sublime feel to these shots, its a nice small and light lens, which I may not get a lot of use out of over the colder months but on sunny warmer days I will no doubt take it out again as I know I should be able to get better shots with it but haven't played with it enough yet.

Starting with this rose with lovely warm colors

This next one was a purish white and I thought it worked well in Mono

And another one with nice delicate but warm colors

And a last one with just subtle yellows but still quite beautiful

Right you are... let's make the !DERANGED club a real big one where we can have a !BEER alltogether 😉

[tattoodjay]

OHh yes I think there is plenty that would enjoy a !BEER and fit well in the !DERANGED club

[pixelfan]

Now you're talking!
Here, a !DERANGED to share and a !BEER because we don't have a lemonade token yet 🙃😜😉

[tattoodjay]

Who Knows maybe some !DERANGED or non deranged guy will have a few !BEER and decide to make a lemonade token

_{Posted with}

[pixelfan]

I was thinking about making a wine-token, really...
But I still have to read/learn how that is done... but maybe, maybe...
Hopefully nobody will think I'm completely !DERANGED
A Belgian that makes a wine-token and distributing !BEER seems a bit strange 😂

Mr. Helios is irresistible. I like not only bokeh, but also the softness with which he takes off.
Great photo!

[tattoodjay]

Yeah its great for such a cheap lens isnt it ;)

_{Posted with}

[bambuka]

I agree. And here it’s not even the price, but the quality of the shooting. This quality is reminiscent of film shooting.

[tattoodjay]

Yes thats very true, I got some new lens today that Ihad ordered so will be trying them out this week, but the Hellios will be slipped into my bag from time to time

_{Posted with}

[bambuka]

Recently, Helios is either on my camera or in my bag. I almost never part with him

[tattoodjay]

With carrying my laptop to and from work I don’t carry to many lenses each day but it is one I often take

_{Posted with}

[bambuka]

Yes, it's worth it. Doesn’t take up much space, light but very good :D

I am surprised those flowers are still out! My roses were gone a long time ago. I think I cut back my bushes a little too much this Spring though, so that could have been part of the problem. We are supposed to be getting up to a foot of snow in some areas over the next couple of days, so the flowers that are left won't be around much longer.

[tattoodjay]

I was surprised as well but looking at the forecast they wont last longer some record breaking cold for this time of year coming ina couple of days

As a nature lover, you are right there is nothing more sublime than flowers, large in diverse colors, small, wild, they all have a lovely touch.

[tattoodjay]
