"Variety is the spice of life, that which gives it all it's flavor."-William Cowper
Our latest Round Robin Challenge is all about variety, and comes to us by Nancy, who authors the journal, "Nancy Luvs Pics." I liked doing this challenge a lot. The neat thing about the challenges is that I am always learning something new with them. With this challenge, I began to think in terms of photographing things going together as opposed to trying to keep my pictures simple, as with one main subject. I came up with little "ingredients" in my photos, kind of like trying different flavors to make the perfect recipe. I gave myself the assignment to come up some natural variety, as well as a still life.
I think I like the end result...

Wow, you have butterflies already. I can not wait to see them this year.
Those are all so vibrant. Although my sweet tooth is pulling the voting towards the candy dish. Yummy.
These tulips are so beautiful ! I have got two bouquets last Sunday directly from Amsterdam (Holland the country of tulips) my son brought them. I still have them they were so fresh !
Oh,I love them all Carly! They are all so colorful and beautiful!
I love the composition on the candy bowl shot, but my favorite one here is the butterfly feeder. It's like a hummingbird feeder, but with butterflies!
I have never seen a butterfly feeder before. That is amazing!
Your candy assortment is speaking to me too...
What great photos! The colors are incredible. I've never seen a Butterfly feeder before but now that I have I'm on a mission to find one for my yard LOL The jelly bean picture is wrecking havoc on my diet LOL
Wow!! I did not know you could feed butterflies! I'm finding one for our yard, too! I hope they get along with my hubby's bees. The lighting effect with the candy dish is just perfect! I've got a sweet tooth, now! As usual, wonderful, wonderful pictures!
Hi !!! Your blog always makes me smile and I always love to visit. I like coming to see each and every one of your entries. You are such a sweet person. Do keep it coming !!!!!!
All beautiful shots, Carly! Especially the tulips!
Marie
One of the constant aspects of these photos is the COLOR -- it is stunning in all of them! I love the butterflies at the feeder especially well. And tulips are among my favorite flowers. As for candy -- well, you know, being a diabetic, it's pretty much off-limits unless sugar free but that doesn't stop me from admiring it in your picture and remembering how good it tastes! LOL!
Those candies look yummy! Gimme some!
Thanks for stopping by mine :)
I don't mind having that butterfly feeder in my garden....wait a minute I don't have a garden! kekekke then I just take that yummy candy! lol

The transparency and vividness of the color in the tulip picture is amazing. I too have never seen a butterfly feeder. I think my favorite is the jellybeans because of your use of light.
Awesome Carly!! I wasn't sure that butterfly feeder was real...or at last the butterflies!
And such pretty tulips!
Hugs,
Nancy
What beautiful pictures you take, Carly girl! I love the shadowed area behind the vibrant colors of the candy dish, the way the tulips seem to glow from within, and the magical quality of the butterfly feeder.
Vicki
I loved this challenge because I knew I'd be seeing lots of things that mean a lot to people...your butterflies didn't disappoint! How gorgeous; what an abundance you have to choose things to take pictures of!
I gotta know where I can find a butterfly feeder. It would be so fun to try to figure out the different types. Thanks for sharing.
My son would empty your candy immediately. :) I have seen the feeders in the store but didn't realize they actually worked. :) How awesome!
