Final batch from the photography backlog

White onion flowers.

Final batch from the backlog all sorted and up on Flickr! This lot are all from the garden in the past week, most of them an evening shoot so the sun did nice things with the flower petals. I took a lot of photos today (mostly some butterflies and bees, if they turn out okay), but will sort and post those tomorrow. I hope you enjoy them.

Photography, 7th July 2018, wildflowers and a couple of bugs

Purple teasel macro.

I went into town to do shopping yesterday, and if it hadn’t been for the fact that I stopped off on a verge along the main road into town near the GP surgery to take a load of photographs of the poppies, daisies, thistles and teasels, I would have been very annoyed and regretted that decision. As is was, I got a new favourite photo out of that batch, the teasel with purple flower buds that’s set as the featured image.

Some of the images are from the garden, but the majority are from beside a main road and not, shockingly, on a verge next to a bridle path. As always, more up on Flickr, and by more I mean a lot more. It took hours to sort through these yesterday, which is why the blog post is today. Now I’m off to do things with glue and string.

Photos from the past few days and some crafty experimenting

Fox-and-cubs flowers.

It’s been a busy few days, but I did manage to take a few photos (I have a list of things to photograph that I haven’t gotten around to yet), and some crafty things (you can see those below the photo thumbnails). The photos are of a few triffids in the sky, mostly roses, more of which can be found on Flickr.

Photography of… Triffids. Of course.

Tulips.

I’ll take some photographs of other things at some point. Maybe I should do some photography challenges? Right now it’s Triffids, because they’re rioting in the garden. Seriously. They’re just hiding the pitchforks and flaming torches when I get the camera out. There’s a whole bunch of new photos in my Flickr gallery, and a selection below.
