Serendipity
On the coast just north of me, there is a field which occasionally erupts with purple and white long stemmed flowers called agapanthus. Every time it does this, I resolve that I will go out with my camera and take some photographs. I dream about getting some models to go with me. And yesterday, it happened. But in a most unexpected way.
I went out to the field about an hour before sunset, hoping to catch the best light. And, before I knew it, these four young ladies showed up - unannounced and unplanned. They live nearby and had decided to come down to the flower field and take some photos of each other on their iphones.
Lucky for me, I live in a small town. And I happen to know these beautiful girls, and they agreed to pose for a few shots before they went on their way.
Now that's what I call serendipity! And a great reminder to go out with my camera and take photographs. To capture the moment. Because you never know what you might find.
Great photos. I love the last one.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what sort of flowers they are?
That's wonderful,Rinda....and they even knew to choose the right colours to wear!!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful. Lovely light and the girls dressed in just the right colours. Are they wild garlic flowers?
ReplyDeleteFabulous pics!

Stunning photos although I do hope that not everyone picks the flowers as there would be none left for others to enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos and serendipity indeed!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and how they came about. What a gorgeous place to shoot!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful pictures of beautiful young girls! Those look like agapanthus flowers to me. Lovely. :-)
ReplyDeleteStunning photos - I can't imagine a field of agapanthas - what a treat. And how sweet of the girls to let you take photos. A fun day for sure
ReplyDeleteI have agapanthus in my garden, but only two of them (that's enough in my opinion). I have never seen an entire field with them. It sure looks gorgeous. The deer in your area must be happy, they love agapanthus.
ReplyDeleteI too have only 2 treasured agapanthus in my garden. A whole field WOW. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteWe moved our (only 3 though!) agapanthus a few years ago and they haven't flowered since :-( How beautiful that whole field looks, and how very fortunate to have 4 willing models turn up at just the right time!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I assume these grow wild..?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delightful and wonderful and WOW

what a lovely group of girls. Full of the joys of life, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteEnvious of the beautiful field of flowers! Love that the girls were all dressed for their personal photo session and had you there to capture their friendships.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos & what a FUN photo shoot for you to find models all ready when you arrived!
ReplyDeleteI have an agapanthus an it is flowering at the moment. Can't imagine a full field of them. Lovely flowers and people :)
ReplyDeleteA single agapanthus is already beautiful so I cannot imagine what it is like to be in a whole field of them. I love the fact that the young belles dressed so perfectly for the occasion - what a great photo shoot.
ReplyDeleteLovely post and stunning photos Rinda. I too love that the girls chose dresses to compliment the flowers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvellous opportunity - and the photos turned out so well!
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous! Serendipity at it's finest :)
ReplyDeleteLove Agapanthas - with it grew here. How neat that the girls happened to show up - they made for some really great looking pictures and all colour co-ordinated too!
