Texture Tuesday–The Eye of the Tiger

Have I told you lately how much I love my iPhone????

Like I shared yesterday, this weekend I found a delightful Rudbeckia called ‘Tiger Eye’ at my local garden center.  After I planted it my pot, I then proceeded to take approximately 147 pictures of it with my big-girl camera because.

I think I may have a problem.

Anyway, once I got done taking its picture with my big camera, I grabbed one final shot with my iPhone to upload to Instagram.

Seriously, it’s getting out of control. Winking smile

But just look at this…can you believe that this is an iPhone photo!?  No photoshop, no filters, no nothing.  SOOC.  I am truly amazed.

Reason number 263 why I love my new phone.

Peace, Kelly

    Gorgeous rudbeckia with stunning colors. I have a few like that in my yard, however, mine are called “Indian Summer”. “Tiger Eye” is a much more interesting name…

    Yep, the iPhone is addictive! (I speak from experience. And don’t even get me started on how much fun the apps are!)

    I hate to cook, but your beautiful cooking pictures actually have talked me into trying this this weekend!
    I also get you ( your obsession) it’s pretty hard to explain 147 pics of a new plant. …… I know, because I’ve done it ! Lol
    I enjoyed visiting your blog today
