Flowers and more flowers
My younger daughter grew me these lovely Cosmos - aren't they gorgeous? they are now dancing amongst the geraniums, roses, poppies, fuchsias and osteospermums and looking wonderful.
I was using the camera on its macro setting with the addition of a 10x magnifying lens. I really like the way these cheap little lenses have such a shallow depth of field and throw the background out of focus and the way it just becomes abstract shapes at times, as below with the poppy seedhead. It isn't a great photograph technically - but I really quite like it!
and now I need to go and paint ..............

I haven't taken any more for the same reason - the flowers are dancing and swaying like mad at the moment - and now it's raining as well ..... summer!!!! huh!
No tips other than a photographers assistant to hold the stem still, just out of shot!
