Extension tube delight

Posted on by 4 comments

I received a rather early birthday present from my lovely hubby today – extension tubes for my camera. For those of you who are still saving for a macro lens like I am – this is an affordable alternative. Played around with it in the yard and was very pleased with the results.

Faces of a Poppy

Trying out various processing techniques on an old Poppy photo of mine. I recall crawling up an embankment next to a busy road to take the photo and just missed stepping into a massive fox hole. Which version tickles your fancy?

The garden in the morning

I’ve had very little time for photography recently but I managed a quick look around the garden this morning. Nice to know there is prettiness even when there is little time to fully appreciate it.

The lovely Rosebuds do foretell

the beauty held within

the gentle breezes lifting them

to whisper, bloom and listen.

A gathering of purple faces

Dancing in the light

Swaying gracefully in the breeze

Till they are darkened by the night

Rays of yellow petals mimicking the sun,

Spreading warm and cheerful thoughts

Blooming with love and light
