Many thanks to Debby for hosting this week. Nice theme!! It's been a poor summer for my photography this year. A combination of the warm sunny days being during the week while I'm at work and getting rain almost every weekend, coupled with illness and back injury, means in the whole of June, July and August, I only got out with my camera twice!!
As such, all my shots this week are taken from the same set, taken at Stackpole Gardens at the end of July.
1) Osteospermum Heart
2) Black-Eyed Susan
3) Queen Anne's Lace
4) Gazania Heart
For just two excurions with the camera, you did very well and captured the highlights of a floral summer. -The light effect iof the gazania is very impressive and the details on the Quuen Anne thing are perfect. I must have a closer look at my osteospermum the next time they flower to capture such good details and that black eyed susan is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat :-))
DeleteIt's not quantity, but quality that counts, right? You've certainly captured some first class, A-1 shots, here.
ReplyDeleteI love the Queen Anne's Lace. I've never seen one that color before. The ones here are sort of off white.
Thanks Debby :-))
DeleteFour beautiful macro shots Mitch at which you always excel ;) I agree with Debby the Queen Anne lace is stunning

DeleteHi Mitch! Sorry to read about your illness and the lack of opportunities to use your camera this Summer. Anyway, looking at the four awesome shots, I would add what Debby mentioned above 'it's not quantity but quality that counts'... Fabulous shot of the Queen Anne's Lace...
ReplyDeleteThanks Belita :-))
DeleteA Black Eye Susan? Loved the pretty pics. Sunflowers r my fav.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nik :-))
DeleteBeautiful photos of the flowers. Queen Anne's Lace in the States is white. It sometimes is confused with Yarrow. These photos expand my botanical knowledge. I am not familiar with the first flower, Osteopermum.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert :-))
