There is such a thing as luck… but it never relates to winning the lottery, it seems.
But I did hit a jackpot – a photographic one. Its been busy trying to supplement my photographic artwork these past few weeks; being an amateur, it’s not easy.
As there’s been some dew on the flowers outside, I took to shooting them at first light. Fortunately, Lady Luck flashed a big smile as a number of them were selected for flickr.com’s “Explore” which showcases 500 photographs each day for “interestingness”:
Here are a few others:
Unbelievably, there’s been over 100,000 views in the past three days, now nearing 1,000,000 views in total.
It would be nice to have that many visitors to this blog!
Will Lady Luck flash her smile here too? 🙂

Outstanding, Koji and congratulations!! The pictures are terrific. Catching the minuscule dewdrops on the petals was a fantastic idea and accomplishment!
Thank you, gpcox!
So beautiful…I can’t believe you say these are ‘just some snapshots’… 🙂
とてもご親切で。。。
Those are gorgeous! And you WOULD have this many visitors here if you would WRITE more stuff!!!! 😉
Yes, my Queen….
WOW! Gorgeous shots!
Thanks, Cindy!
Lovely! Especially so because I’m never up at first light to see this in real life. I always enjoy your photography.
Never up at first light???… How nice!!! 🙂
There may be such a thing as luck but it plays no part in the response to your amazing photography. You have this reader’s permission to officially retire the word “amateur” the description of your work!

LOL, Joe! Thank you for the encouragement!
I always love seeing your “Snapshot” posts, Koji! These photos all complement each other so beautifully. And, once again, congratulations on having your works feature on Flickr Explore. The colours, patterns of these exquisite flowers are so beautiful. It’s not always easy to capture the essence of incredibly beautiful things, but you have masterfully done so. Wonderful work, my friend! :))
Thank you, Jeannie! But YOUR photographs… now that is talent!
‘Just some snapshots’… they are fascinating an beautiful.
