The buttercups have been harder to capture than Lucy at harness time, and I’ve taken so many buttercup photos, without success. I’m not especially happy with this one, but in my opinion, you-know-whose fuzzy presence saves the day. In her usual style, she waits patiently while I make one more attempt… Good girl!

What beautiful background colors to go with your buttercup. It really is a beautiful shot!! Thanks for sharing and have a great Monday!
Some flowers just scream SPRING!!! and buttercups are one of them to me. I am glad you posted this one. Do you ever hold them under the chin to see who like butter? We did s a kid it was fun. Thanks for sharing :)
Good one…and the hazy purple background really kinda enhances things….

I think it’s a great shot! I love how it’s all blurry in the background and so sharp and clear for the buttercup. Love buttercups!

Thanks Debo Hobo. Yes! We did do that. Hold the flower underneath your chin and a yellow reflection means you like butter, and of course, as it turns out, EVERYBODY likes butter!

Hi Svasti. Yeah, I just wished the buttercup would’ve been a little sharper. User error! :o(

The buttercup looks amazing, this is the kind of effect I always fail to achieve. :-( What kind of camera are you using?

Hi and thank you John. The camera is a six-year-old Canon PowerShot SD400 Digital Elph. For this shot I used the macro setting. I am so woefully lacking in camera knowledge and became aware of this setting only a few months ago!
