The bleeding hearts are beginning to get toward their prime in our garden and a light rain shower provided the perfect complement with glistening beads of water. I set up some wind barriers on two sides to keep movement to a minimum at slower shutter speeds. I like how the plant seems to open in stages, as evidenced in this image.

Very nice composition! I’ve never seen this type of flowers in person, only in pictures. It’s so beautiful! Donald, you do very nice work! 🙂
Thank you so much. I dont think they are uncommon,but dont know how hardy they are in extreme cold. they always come up around here,and we get good snows,except this year. there is a white variety too.
Absolutely gorgeous! It made me peek out my desk window to see if my bleeding hearts were blooming!
Thank you.
stunning…love it!
Glad to hear it.
Gorgeous shot! It’s been way too windy here, so may try the windbreak trick.
thanks, spring has not provided the greatest weather so far. too sunny,too windy.
Beautiful composition and bokeh.
