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…

My Photo Comeback
I’m so pleased to be back with my hobby after a couple of testing years…. had nasty fall that needed hip replacement , followed by two cataract operations last year. The mince pies [ cockney slang] had made photography pretty much useless as I couldn’t judge the sharpness of anything. It was all very frustrating…

Roses
I won’t bore you all with yet another apology for being inactive here … I will just post as I’m able and I’m very grateful to have an outlet to share on with no demands or pressures, especially with the strange circumstances we are all currently in. I thank the Lord for His good gifts…

Macro Flowers
Much of my time is spent indoors and I love using cut flowers as my photographic subjects, sometimes in Still Life but mostly exploring them in macro. I don’t think I’ve spoken much here about the cameras and lenses I use. Some years ago I decided to upgrade from the simple auto ‘point and shoot’…

Catching Up(again)
Yet again I find myself having to catch up with my postings here as I’ve been somewhat distracted with other things. Fortunately [for me, not necessarily you] I haven’t neglected my photography because that is the thing that keeps me happy and sane , together with the good Lord’s gracious care of me…. So, this…

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…

Love-in-a-Mist
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…

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…
