I was brought up on the coast in South Wales, UK and I do miss the sea, so visiting Anglesea was both strangely familiar and yet different. Now living in mountain ranges in the southern hemisphere meant I ended up taking a lot of images that day – there was so much to see (and I didn’t have a macro lens when I lived in the UK)!! There will be more to come…
The gentle folds of this delicate rose took my eye as the backlighting caught the textures of the petals.
I have a new theme for the blog which I think will be better suited. Apologies in advance for any odd or blank email notifications – I want to create some different pages with galleries, etc and is work in progress. Please let me know if there are problems viewing it and feedback, as always, is welcome on the new look…..and so to the image today. Not the best technically but this little frog literally missed death by spade by millimetres during some clearing work. I believe it is called a Victorian Frog (Litoria paraewingi) and was about 3 cm long – safely relocated 🙂
I think I have gone a bit ‘macrotastic’ lately! These are some Osteospermum, again a member of the daisy/sunflower family. I’ve included the black and white image as thought it best showed the fractal pattern of this seemingly simple flower 🙂
The onset of spring has made me feel like a little kid in a sweet shop – everywhere I look there are flowers or buds I want to make images of. I have a current fascination with members of the daisy family that open and close with the rhythm of the sun. This little daisy hadn’t as yet had the full benefit of the sun and its warmth as was taken early in the morning…
The light is changing with the welcoming in of an early spring. I think these are a type of Michaelmas Daisy (about 1 cm in size)?
