Close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a flower garden. Dominant hues are shades of pinks and purples. The foreground flowers are extremely bright pink, out-of-focus, and take up the bottom third of the composition. Small purple flowers form the primary flower cluster, with stems covered in soft white fuzz. The background partially reveals a grey rooftop and green trees. The scene is well-lit, with overcast lighting.

A low-angle, medium shot of several lavender plants. The composition is dominated by the lavender in the foreground. Small violet flowers are in full bloom at the top of the stems. The background includes a clear, blue sky with a few green trees and reddish-pink flowers. The image is brightly lit, with strong contrasts between the purple blooms, green foliage, blues sky and earth tones.
