Walking in sunshine
The temperature has risen and the sun is at last shining. I decided I would spend an hour playing with my camera.
My camera and I are friends now.....it has been a long journey but at last we understand each other :)
One can do so much with a camera these days.
The detail you can capture is amazing.
I love columbine.......my Nannie used to let them seed everywhere, I do the same.
Trollius is captivating.........such an exquisite flower.
There is so much to do in the garden, I really don't know where to start. Hopefully we will have a few more days of sunshine to give me time to catch up :)
Good morning Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteIsn't it beautiful! I think I had forgotten what it felt like to be really warm. :)
Your photos are lovely as ever. What is the blossom on the 4th one down?
Enjoy the garden in the sunshine. xx
Hi Lucinda,
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful here. Just about to walk Nella across the fields.
The fourth image is 'London Pride'....a beautiful old fashioned plant.
If ever you want a cutting just let me know, non invasive, clump forming, and pretty little nodding flowers ......much loved by solitary bees:)
Have a lovely day :)
I love seeing this over view of your garden. It looks so inviting. I feel like I could stroll through here then have a seat in the swing.Sit there and soak up the sunshine. Ahhhh...
ReplyDeleteAnd you would be more than welcome Lisa, you know that :)
DeleteI've got loads to do in the garden as well, but it's not easy when there are young blue tits everywhere I walk. But when I try to take photos of them, they all go into hiding.
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal,
DeleteA gardeners work is never done !!
Enjoy the juvenile Blue Tits :)
Beautiful, ethereal photos Cheryl, isn't it wonderful to have some good weather at last?
ReplyDeleteI let my Columbines decide where they want to be too, they were here long before I was! Your garden looks lush and beautiful to me. Mine is a mess! So much time has been taken up with clearing away the fallen Lilac and my enemy the Ground Elder has taken over again :-(
Tku Jan...... they say the camera never lies, actually I do not believe that to be true. Long distance shots look so much better at the moment :)
DeleteOh dear, the dreaded Ground Elder.......perish the thought:(
And yes, the weather is gorgeous.....
The garden looks so lush and beautiful. Glad the sun is shining on you once again.
ReplyDeleteThe third photo of the pink flower is lovely,what a great way to spend an hour, Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
DeleteSuch fun. The little pink flower is our native Herb Robert :)
HI Cheryl.... Aw...these are gorgeous...lovely soft colors then the bright orange!!!
ReplyDeleteI have so much garden work to do...your looks good compared to mine! : }}
What are you using for a camera..!!!
It is hot and humid here... yuck!! Why can't it just be sunny, a little rain at night, and 75 degrees..lol ; ]!!!
Grace
Hi Grace,
DeleteYou are my sort of weather girl :) That would indeed be perfect !
Don't go all technical on me Grace.....A Canon EOS, Mr P just bought a new macro lens, so I am playing. Don't ask me what I do with it, it is a question of just playing around with the buttons :)
Your garden looks lovely - I only wish I could handle a camera as well as you.
ReplyDeleteTku Elaine on both counts. I am very much a novice in both areas :)
DeleteI'm so glad the sunshine has returned for you, Cheryl; I know how eager you must be to spend all day in the garden. It's supposed to be terribly hot here this weekend, so I probably won't get much garden work done, though after a week of neglect it really needs it.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are awesome!
Tku Rose,
DeleteYes, that is all it takes......another few days won't make a lot of difference.
Perhaps when the weather is a little cooler you can get into action.
Dear Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteI can feel the warmth on my face as I walk in sunshine with you.
Your macro shots are gorgeous. Teaching the camera to see what you see does take some playing around. Macro photography is teaching me what I cannot see with my eyes. I love seeing deep into the flower and how the veins in the Dragonflies' wings shimmer. I too have a working garden! There is always something to do!
The Rain Dragons finally returned to my gardens. I bet you are pleased!
Happy hands in the dirt and bees in your bonnet,
Sherry
Dear Sherry,
DeleteYes, I agree, it is the detail that is so fascinating.
I wish I had more time to enjoy my camera, instead of just snapping away.....
So please The Rain Dragons have returned to your gardens.
They did a fine job here but enough is enough :)
Hope to see them again in about two weeks, perhaps you could have a word ?
My hands are dirty and there are plenty of bees around my bonnet, happy days.......
The sunshine and warmth are great aren't they? I confess that my gardening in these temperatures consists of a spot of dead-heading and a little weed pulling - serious gardening waits for cooler days.
ReplyDeleteGlad the weather is nice and sunny where you are, especially after all the rains a while ago.
ReplyDeleteYou do take such lovely pics and I like the detail. I haven't quite mastered the fine details yet - or snapping animals. Somehow they always run, jump, or fly away. Oh well....
the wide angle shot of your garden is a sight for sore eyes, Cheryl. The space invites the wanderer hither and thither as explorer rather than guided walker - in sunshine or in rain
