Close Up Picture Of Red Dwarf Ixora

I started this blog with the intention of posting many of my photos for sharing with online writers. However so far I've only been posting mainly flower pictures. I guess it is because I love taking flowers of pictures. They allow me to immortalize the flowers. Here are some pictures of red dwarf Ixora flowers, close-up as well as further up. I took this while out on a morning walk with my daughter.

Beauty is really all around us if you care to look. These flowers look forlorn and ignored by everyone. People had even thrown rubbish around it. So sad. However, just look at them now. Don't you think they look glorious?

I took these pictures with my iPhone. I find that the iPhone camera works really well for close-up pictures in bright sunlight. I tried taking some photos at night indoors and it turned out horrible. These are nice though. Cyrstal clear and with lovely colors.

Note: Please remember to link  back to http://mygraphicsgallery.blogspot.com if you use any of these pictures. Then leave your own link in the comments so I can hop over to see how you've used it. :)

Photos Of Phlox Pink Purple And White

Today, I'm going to share the Best Pictures Of Phlox we grew in our garden. We grew it from seedlings we bought in a packet at the DIY shop. This is a picture of the seed packet. It promises beautiful phlox in red, purple, pink and white. We didn't get the red or peach ones but we certainly had a lot of varieties in pink, white and purple. They are so lovely! We bought these seedlings twice. The first time we got the dwarf ones. These were nice because they are short. The other type just grew and grew and grew. We have not heard of the Phlox before this. We bought the seedlings because the packet was so attractive. It lived up to its promise as you can see below in the beautiful phlox pictures.

If you like to use any of these Phlox pictures on your blog or article. Please link back to this blog and leave your link in the comments so I can see how you've used it. You can see how I've used mine. I wrote lyrics for a song in my head called I Am A Wallflower. I darkened the areas all around the flowers highlighting only the flowers. You can crop them to your liking but please use them for family friendly sites only.

The picture below has been cropped to fit FB Cover Image dimensions. You can use it if you like. The flowers are all on one side so it is a nice fit for your profile pic in the empty space.

Picture Of A Strange Looking Mushroom

Mushroom Picture

My sister sent me a picture of this strange but amazing looking mushroom that she found growing in her garden some time ago. It looked so pretty with a yellow netted skirt around the fringe.

I haven't used this picture anywhere on my online articles yet. However, I love quotes very much and I'm thinking that this image looks like two peas in a pod or a pair of dancing ladies or a couple in love. Oh, just let your imagination run wild when you use this photo and remember to leave a link to your post to show how you have used it, please.

Kindly link back to this blog too if you use this strange mushroom picture. Thank you.

Beautiful Flower Kolam Picture For Diwali



I live in Malaysia which is rich in culture from the different races that make up the population here. We celebrate many holidays together. Every event is filled with beautiful decoration of the cultures at the shopping malls.

During Deepavali as we call it here or Diwali, we often see beautiful kolam decorations at the malls. Here is one very beautiful flower kolam picture. I love how vibrant the colors are, the bright beautiful pink, orange, purple, blue and green. Kolam or Rangoli is made up of colored rice or flour and often placed in front of a Hindu family's home during Diwali.

Sometimes beautiful oil lamps are added to the kolam. In this one, pots of flowers are arranged on it. If you are using this picture you may need to crop it a little if you like to remove the shadows of the shoppers feet in the background or you can use it as it is. Either way, do remember to link back to this blog and please leave the link to your blog post or article in the comments section of this post.

Facebook Cover Image Of Flowers Chrysanthemums

I like to make my own Facebook Cover Images from time to time. I especially like Facebook Cover Images using flowers or quotes theme. This is a Facebook cover image I created some time ago of the bright yellow chrysanthemums that adorned my porch during Chinese New Year. I bought these two pots of chrysanthemums really cheap but they didn't last very long.

I am really glad I took these photos of the chrysanthemums as keepsakes. I resized and created my photo into a Facebook Cover Image of  Chrysanthemum Flowers. You can use these as your Facebook Cover Image if you like or you can crop them to any size for your personal use but remember to link back to this blog.

I also encourage you to leave a link to your blog or article by leaving a link in the comments. Leaving a legitimate link as a comment is always good for your articles. However any spam comments will be deleted.

Here is another flower from my garden. It is a morning glory picture. I love the sweet lilac color of this morning glory. It looks almost transparent and a little bit fragile and very soft.

I am included the whole picture here but you can crop it if you don't like the little brown bits on the leaves and the second Morning Glory Picture at the background.

I think it will be very nice to use for quotes and sayings. You can also add a frame to make it really stand out. Please remember to link back to this blog if you use this image. Do share your link of your blog or article in the comment section of this post. I will be delighted to see how you have used this morning glory picture creatively.

Sunflower Picture

I love taking pictures of flowers. When I check my camera, I see mostly pictures of flowers, food and kids crafts so when it comes to the images I will be organizing in My Graphics Gallery, I guess the very first one I will start with will be this picture of a sunflower from my garden. I planted it from seeds we bought in a packet from a DIY shop.

Unfortunately, we only had one single sunflower from the lot. Fortunately I was able to take this sunflower picture before it wilted. That is the beauty of taking pictures. A particular moment of object is frozen in time forever just like this sunflower.

Crop or resize this free photo of sunflower if you like but please link back to this blog and leave your own link in the comments.
