Today was a simply glorious day and I decided to take on some macro shooting of plants and flowers. To get the 'real' picture click on it...

Here are a couple of my 'Snowballs' pictures. I used to have a couple of sizable bushes, but somehow the drought got to them and the heat did not do them a good deal. I love having them around. They remind me of German Winter fun and games...

This is The Bowlo, where the Farty Towels Dinnershow is about to be performed. The greenkeeper does have a green thumb. Here are some examples of his handywork.Isn't it a stunning shade of blue?!
This one is just saturated with colour and the texture of the flowers was quite like fine velvet.



These geraniums grown from a cutting have totally taken over my gardens and add a definite touch of colour to every corner. they bloom for ages and seem to be resistant to anything.
I like this picture below because this is not a look-at-me kind of flower, but rather unobtrusive and possibly a little under rated. However, the dappled shade allowed me to shoot it with a tiny little glimpse of rear light illuminating the base of the flower.
This is a stunning native. I only bought it last year and it has been battling some disease, but it has come through!




Some more...

















Last, but not least, the side view...
