Day 60 - Wasp Nest

Having been out for lunch today, it was a bit of a last minute rush to shoot something so I headed for my box. What box is that? Well, it was supposed to be a prop box but it's rapidly turning into the 'weird things to photograph one day' box! So here is todays' weird thing - a fairly mucky old bit of wasp nest. Great patterns and so regular too - isn't nature amazing?

Day 37 - Same Rose, Different Day

Just a few days after the other shot and not only have most of the roses died off really quickly but they've changed colour a bit too. I'm always in a bit of a rush on Friday as I get in from work, grab a bite to eat then dash back out again so I grabbed this quickly in the morning just before I put the rubbish (trash) out. It's now on it's way to the great compost heap in the sky :)

Day 34 - Just a Rose

Bought a bunch of roses because I could see the photograph in my head and couldn't resist. Got them home and could I get that picture - could I hell! So I resorted to my trusty macro lens and light tent for now until I work out how to get the photo I wanted.

Day 19 - Autumn Crocus

Just a dashing through the garden type macro shot - I'm finding it quite difficult to choose what to shoot and then suddenly, it's late in the day :( But I quite like this one - probably not one of my best macros but it's a reminder of Spring so a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

Day 18 - Hanging Crystals?

Early morning post today - I'm off out and about for most of the day and couldn't sleep this morning so got my shot in early! Dew on a spider web - macro with neighbours cat helping unsteady the tripod!

Day 17 - Blue Star

One of Mum's morning glories in glorious blue - macro lens and light tent

Day 4 - Iceplant - Variations

Two to show you today! I went out with the intention of taking this one which I must admit, I really like. It's an iceplant also known as a sedum spectabile and it's particularly lush this year after being cut back very hard in the early Spring.

But whilst I was shooting, I noticed these little honey bees busily gathering nectar and pollen so to add a bit of interest, I tried to shoot them on the flat flowerheads. Manouvering a stubby tripod around fast enough to catch these little guys at work must have looked very funny to my neighbours! I fell backwards at one point as I was scrooched down so low and lost my balance! Luckily I kept a tight grip on my camera so no harm done - except to my dignity. :)
