Two weeks ago I shared five images altered in Photoshop and left readers with the task of guessing the original images. Everyone who played along thought they were flowers. That’s not surprising, since most of the images I share on the blog are flowers. However, they were wrong, wrong, wrong!
Well…not exactly. In fact, they were more than half right. Three of the five images were indeed flowers or blossoms.
Have you been anxiously awaiting the answer? 🙂 Wait no longer! Here are the images in the order presented in the post:
Flowers in front of the Farmer’s Market on campus. Shot last June. I’m trying to remember why I was on campus in the middle of June. ???
Flying Dragon Trifoliate Orange [Hardy Orange] in the Huntsville Botanical Gardens. I photographed these a couple of summers ago. That reminds me–I still haven’t shared the zillions of photos my son and I shot that very hot summer day. Maybe, you’ll see them in next week’s Wordless Wednesday…
More flowers near the Farmer’s Market. These were “photoshopped,” of course.
A gourd from the Huntsville Botanical Gardens.
Azaleas from my parents’ neighbors’ garden. These beauties were in full bloom in the middle of February.
So yes, flowers AND no, flowers. But all gifts from our beautiful planet.

Beautiful pictures, Chandra. The flowers look gorgeous. The third pic (photoshopped flowers) looks more like a painting than a photoshopped picture.

That was the plan! Since I can’t paint flowers as nicely as others, I let Photoshop and other apps do the work for me. 😉

Such pretty captures and you played really well with them. My guess were of blooms….. fruits did not cross my mind.

Ah! Thank you for the reveal post, dear Chandra. I’m glad I wasn’t totally wrong. But who would have thought of a gourd!
Happy #WW. We are live yet again:
