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 […]
One Four Challenge – Blossoms on a tree Week 5
As I said in week 1 for the challenge this month, this will be my last One Four for this year. I’m still undecided if I will continue next year. It is a lot of […]
Floral Friday – Flowers from Heronswood
Recently, I went to a new garden for me. Heronswood House and Gardens is down on the Mornington Peninsula and is now run by the Diggers’ Club. I’ve been a member of the Diggers Club […]
One Four Challenge – Blossoms on a tree Week 4
Normally this would be my last post for the month, but since there is another week in October, I will be posting another one next week. With what I am doing this month, it wasn’t […]
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 […]
One Four Challenge – Blossoms on a tree Week 3
Here we are at Week 3, and I have another easy one to show you. I love seeing the blossoms, though I also hate it, as it means summer is coming and I’m not so […]
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 […]
One Four Challenge – Blossoms on a tree Week 2
Like I said last week I am kind of taking the easy way out this month while I try to make up my mind about this challenge. I have to admit I was ready to […]
Lens-Artists Challenge #368 – Looking Back to Challenge #106: Autumn or not
I’m going to start this post with a massive whinge, and I’m sorry about that, but I hate challenges like this. For those who don’t know, I live in the Southern Hemisphere, and for everyone […]
Floral Friday – New blossoms signalling a great start to Spring
I think it is safe to say that spring has sprung. I feel like I keep saying that every time I go out into the garden, I find new plants that have blossomed. It is […]
One Four Challenge – Blossoms on a tree Week 1
This is going to be my last month this year for this challenge. I’m going to take November and December off and probably January as well. I’m still undecided whether to continue doing it, and […]
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 […]
Floral Friday – Using some new presets on my spring flowers
I’ve already told you how flowers are starting to appear in my garden. I’m loving it. I can see that the plants that die off for winter are starting to reappear, and who knows what […]
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 […]
