The crocus I planted a few years ago are beginning to take off, and every Spring I love to see them poking in defiance through the barren brown ground. I've been trying to catch their color, with little success. I've spent some time Googling why purple shows up blue, and well, it's complicated. And my little camera and my little brain are not up to the task of correcting them either at the front or the back end of the process. Just trust me when I tell you there are no blue flowers in my yard, but there are a lot of lovely purples. And the pictures that look purple are a pale imitation of the purple my eyes see. Feel free to copy and photoshop or crayola the right color onto these lovely posies for your amusement. I snagged a photo off the internet of the true purple of my tiny iris for comparison, and you can see how far off they are:
Anyway, no matter what colors you are seeing, or photographing, hope you have a Happy Friday!
