This time next week I will be busy doing all the last minute packing for my New Zealand Wanderings. It is exciting that there is only one week to go. This last week has been busy as gear has been arriving for the trip.
Floral Friday – Rose from Alowyn Gardens
Last week I missed doing my floral post, so I was determined I wouldn’t this week.
A winter trip to Alowyn Gardens
This afternoon a friend picked me up so we could go to Alowyn Gardens in Yarra Glen for some macro photography. I am still trying out the Samyang 100mm lens and thought it would be a great opportunity to use it. There were a lot of flowers out, so it ended up being a quick […]
