Friday Foto
You may remember the post I made back in June about the Passion Flower in our garden. At the time I wasn’t able to get a photo of it myself because it was inaccessible. It has spread considerably now, and covers the top of the Burberis bush that it’s clinging to. And so I was able to take a photo this week. My timing was good, because there was a Bee collecting pollen.
I’ve often thought recently that I would really like a new camera, perhaps a nice Digital SLR. But I’ve come to the conclusion that for most of what I want a camera for these days my little old beastie is more than sufficient. It’s quite old, but was a high-end compact camera when it was bought new. It’s only a 2 mega pixel resolution, but that’s enough for smallish pictures on a computer monitor — my main need.
I was lucky enough to capture this Peacock Butterfly on the Buddleia on the same day.
Their gorgeous!
We have some fantastic photo opportunities in your garden!
Surprising what you can find in that little over-grown patch. You’ll have to bring your camera up with you next time you come home.
Wonderful photographs Paul!
Wow! Beautiful!
Thanks Steve and Tom. I was amazed how close I was able to get to both the Bee and the Butterfly. I put the camera into its macro mode, and managed to get to within a foot of both of them. All I needed to do was crop and resize the images a bit.
