Cream Abundance
This is a rose I have in my patio garden. I took the pic indoors some time ago with the rose laid on a small mirror and with a white background. I thought I would refresh it with a coloured background for a more ‘artistic’ look. It’s so nice to be able to share my…

Roses and Orchids
It was my Birthday and Mothers’ Day in quick succession this year , so I had lots of flowers, of which these are a sampling, to keep me happy with my camera ! As they are all ‘cultivated’ florist flowers/plants, I can’t give their botanical names – only that they are Roses and Orchids –…

Catching Up!
After a long absence from My Photo Blog, but not my camera, I’ve quite a bit of catching up to do here! I thought I would start with some pics taken with my new Lensbaby Composer Pro 35mm. I’ve found it difficult to get the hang of, but when I get it right I’m very…

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…

Hedgerow Finds
Either side of the path leading to, and going around the lake [Ifield Pond] there’s a mixture of trees and hedgerows and in autumn it’s the bright little things among the bare branches that catch the eye – the variety of God’s creation is amazing and I’m always thanking Him for my hobby and these treasures…

The Ifield Mill
Here are some more pics from my visit to the Mill. I’ve converted this one to a black and white image – it seems to suit this old Mill which dates back to the 1840’s. However – the first mention of a mill in Ifield was in 1274. I can’t quite make out from the Brochure…

Macroland
I’m loving using my new camera and lens and the hours fly by as I get lost in my happy Macroland. Been experimenting a bit with back-lighting etc. – all indoors of course! These are pics of a shrub rose called Rhapsody in Blue that’s growing in my patio garden. Friends bought it for me…

Mothers Day Flowers
I always look forward to receiving flowers on special occasions for obvious reasons. Roses, of course, are a classic subject for photographing against a black background, so here are my offerings …. Please feel free to leave a comment or constructive criticism – it’s always nice to hear other people’s take on things. till next…

Roses
This rose is called ‘Rhapsody in Blue’, although in truth it is more a magenta/purple colour. The buds start off a deep magenta and then change to purple, lilac, and an almost grey/lilac as it fades. It was much too windy to photograph outdoors so I set it up indoors and spent a couple of…
