Floral Friday – After some rain
Rain has been very scarce around here this year, but when we get some, I love to go out afterwards and take photos. When I say get some, that doesn’t mean much. Though this last […]
Floral Friday – First Dahlia for the season
Not much to say today, but I just had to share photos of my first dahlia this season. It’s funny that this one is flowering, while some haven’t come up yet. It should be a […]
Floral Friday – Some close ups from Alowyn Gardens

Floral Friday – Experimenting with more flowers from the garden
I’ve been getting out in my garden a lot more and still taking photos using the tripod. I have to say it has been a game changer and don’t think I could imagine doing it […]
Floral Friday – Taking photos in the morning with strong winds
I feel like I keep going on about this, but boy, has it been windy here. Trying to do any macro work has been impossible. I know I have talked about this before, and last […]
Floral Friday – Using a tripod to get photos in the wind
My Scilla peruviana is flowering, and I look forward to taking photos of it every year, but this year it has been so much harder because we are getting so much wind. I decided to […]

Floral Friday – My garden with a new camera and the Velvet 56
Yes, you read that right, I have a new camera. Well, not really new, but second-hand. So new to me. I really want to update my Fujifilm X-T3, and had thought I would wait for […]
Floral Friday – More from my garden
Today I have some flowers that I have taken in the garden recently. Some are blooms, some are new, and some are waiting to flower. The first one is one of my favourite flowers, and […]
Lens-Artists Challenge #364 – Quiet moment
This week Ritva is asking us “Where is your serene sanctuary?” for this challenge called Quiet moment. I had to keep asking myself that. Is there a place where I feel that serenity or a […]
Floral Friday – More flowers appearing in the garden
I’m back, I think. The wedding photos are done, at least the bulk of them. I can’t wait for the couple to see them, but that doesn’t happen until Sunday. I feel like it is […]
Floral Friday – Spring is almost here according to my garden
Each day when I go out into my garden, it seems new things are flowering and new growth is coming out of the ground. It is a tense time as I wait to see what […]
My Lensbaby Lenses and the beauty of them
I found this post in the private section of my blog. I am hoping it isn’t one that I haven’t published before. It was set for 2021, so no idea what has happened with it. […]
Floral Friday – Revisiting the lilies at a water garden
It has been a few years since I went to the Blue Lotus Water Gardens and I think I have to make an effort to go again. I was planning on going this last summer, […]
Floral Friday – Trying to do the same thing that I did last week
Last week I used one preset from ON1 Photo Raw 2025 to use on my infrared flowers. I wanted to see if it was possible and what you would get. I did use one of […]
Floral Friday – Autumnal colours in my garden
Not really flowers this week, but a different look in my garden. There are colours everywhere, but not from flowers. We are now in winter, but autumn was very late this year, and the trees […]
Floral Friday – A tribute to my macro photography in 2024

Reposting – Weekend Wanderings: A Close Look at Kinglake National Park
Last week I did a repost from the same area, but this post was done the following week, so I thought it would be good to repost it for you to see. Let’s take a […]
