Love-in-a-Mist
Posted: May 29, 2017 Filed under: Fine Art, Flowers, macro, Nature, photography, Plant Portraits, Uncategorized | Tags: Flowers, garden, macro, nature, photography 6 Comments
For some reason or other my energy levels seem to have taken an upward turn recently – maybe it’s the effect of the lovely sunshine we’ve been having or the fact that my frequent ailments seem to have spent themselves for a while …. not only that – the garden has suddenly come to life with poppies and roses and has inspired my hobby!
However – I’ve chosen to entertain ya’ll with pics of a wild flower I spotted on the other side of my fence. I think it’s Love-in-a-mist but p’raps someone could enlighten me?
I’ve titled the one above ‘Catching the Drops’ because it looks as if there are a couple of tiny hands holding on to the water-drop!
That’s about it I think …. hope you like them!
Many blessings, Eileen
Birthday Flowers

Well, would you believe it – I celebrated my 80th Birthday recently ! I have very mixed feelings about that …. but I had some truly lovely gifts and lots of flowers. Flowers, for me, are not something to simply leave in a vase – I love to let myself loose with my camera on them. Macro photography comes into its own and I also get trigger-happy with my little water spray bottle …. so here are a few resulting pics :
I hope to post more tomorrow – Mother’s Day flowers have arrived too! Lol….
Leafy Captures

I have the utmost confidence in saying that everybody loves Autumn [ I think !! Lol]. I went over to the Pond especially to seek out leaves that have changed to their autumn glory.
There were quite a few that had got caught up among other trees and shrubs on their way to the ground, and some were still attached to their parent tree, but without exception , they were all yellow! These pics are all in situ as found ….
I’m getting a bit like Busses – you don’t get any posts come along for a while and then you get several at once …. more from my autumn walk very soon, take care all, Eileen
Teasels
Posted: September 30, 2016 Filed under: macro, Nature, photography, Plant Portraits, Uncategorized | Tags: art, close up, macro, nature, photography, teasels 1 CommentBetter late than never – so here are my belated Teasel pics. Taken over the Pond. In my ‘flower arranging’ days when I entered lots of competitions, teasels were a great favourite – especially at Christmas time when they looked great sprayed silver or gold.
I don’t think I’ve ever caught them when they first come into bloom so I must make a mental note for next summer to look out for them again.
The first pic does show some flower but the actual shape looks a bit deformed ….

Leafy Layers
It’s marvelous how God has designed and inbuilt every species of life with stored information in the genes/DNA to pass on its characteristics to future generations. This has enabled breeders of the Heuchera plant to produce a wonderful variety of leaves and I have several in my garden. They have also crossed Heucheras with Tiarellas and produced the ‘Heucherella’ which is a very pretty smaller plant. Now, in our technological age, it seems anything is possible and a great benefit – as long as it’s kept within the boundaries that God has graciously set for us.
