Fired a few off in the garden while the wife caught up with last nights Casualty on the HD recorder.


This is a little wolf spider sunbathing on a fuschia:

Next up is a bee on one of the garden plants flowerhead (not sure what the flower is):

Last but by no means least is a close up of the centre of one of the Bizzie Lizzie flowers. I just love the vibrant colour and the detail in the petals texture.

The Bizzie Lizzie flower is very pretty Paul, is that one fully open, or will it open up some more?

We have been having heaps of rain, my bulbs will produce some lovely flowers in the next couple of months .... fingers crossed.

With my rib injuries, I am unable to bend far or crouch down still,
time will cure this.... hope I can by the time my little flowers come out.

Thanks for sharing Paul :thumb ... Skippy :D

Thanks Maxine. Glad you like.

Didn't know your were hurt. Whats the cause?



Brian, thanks. I thought the bee wasn't sharp enough ideally, but yesterday was very windy hence the high shutter speed, but I still can detect motion in the shot I think.


Thanks for looking.

The red and subtle pinks turned out grea on the last one. Looks like a small mist of water on it? Very sparkly, looks like coated sugar jelly candies! I'm going to do something like that once I afford a macro lens or some kenko tubes.
Nice piccies!!

Nothing added to the flower. I lay on my belly and just framed up the shot as you see it. No added water, nothing!.


Thanks for looking and commenting.
