Free Flower And Garden Photos

Giving Back

free photos

There are different ways to show appreciation. It is sometimes a challenge to find good free photos online, and in appreciation for my fellow writers I wanted to share photos that I have taken with my camera.

They are ready for a website (low resolution).For attribution, go ahead and link them to this page.

Rules for Use

You don’t need to attribute or anything else, but I ask that you not put them into a collection to use unfairly or sell. Unfair is defined as attributing them to anyone other than me, or using them as your own linkware.  Share and share alike. Freely given, so freely give. CC license -share and share alike, no attribution needed

If your heart overflows you can:

  • share this hub on social media
  • pass on the resource (link on your site)
  • make good garden or nature articles
  • do something nice for garden writers, yourself.

The photos of the four seasons, some are macro photos of flowers, some are garden scenes- all are free for your personal web use.

Don’t hotlink, which is linking directly to the picture instead of uploading to your site. Try to download to your own computer and upload from there. Overload of demand makes things shut down and on personal websites might raise costs exorbitantly.

Enjoy.

 

Take Great Photos – This is the camera I am aiming for- eventually

Canon EOS Rebel T5 Digital SLR + canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS & EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Lens + 58mm 2x Lens + Wide Angle Lens + Auto Power Flash + UV Filter Kit + 24GB SDHC card + Accessory Bundle

Most definitely on my wish list for improving photo taking capabilities. This is the camera I notice my fellow bloggers use when they have particularly wonderful illustrations of plants and gardens, or whatever their subject may be. So now it is on my own “buy list”.

Taking Pictures – Learn to see

I am not an expert photographer as you can see. The biggest lesson I am learning is to remember to take my camera with me and . Because there are so many opportunities for great pictures, but you need that camera handy to catch them. Taking many pictures is also important- you learn to see with the camera when you make lots of mistakes… and you accidentally take some great ones, too. Eventually learning to find the good shots as you get more experienced.

Using These Photos and Graphics

For Online Garden Writers- go ahead and link to this page

They are free and you can use them however you like. I ask that you not include them in collections to sell or pass them off as your own, but you can put them into hubpage articles or webpages and you don’t need to attribute unless you want to. They have low resolution for webpage purposes, so they aren’t useful for Zazzle, etc.

They are not watermarked.

They have a CC license -share and share alike, no attribution needed.

Which Season Is Your Favorite? – Choose one or all

Which season’s pictures did you like best?

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
