Roadside flowers #MacroMonday, 03 April 2023

It’s a lovely day, so I went for a walk and enjoyed the sun. Looks like the spring flowers, and those who feed on them, were thinking the same. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2023/04/roadside-flowers-macromonday-03-april.html

I learned later that these unusual looking seed pods are from a wild clematis. They were spotted alongside the road in a piece of scrubby wasteland near Luton Airport.

Took the Sony Mavica MVC-FD51 out on the patio and tried some close-ups in ‘macro’ mode for the #ShittyCamaraChallenge #1990sCameraChallenge

I have no idea what this plant is called but it has some unusual looking flowers.

When I’m out for a walk I have my phone to hand and always take a photograph of at least one flower (seasons permitting) to send to my better half. Of course, I always get carried away.

Out for a walk with the Sony Mavica and the disk is full. Fortunately, I have my phone to hand for these lovely flowers from the side of the road.

By the road in Águas Boas, 30 October 2022

Cellpic Sunday, #CloseUp on our new palms, 10 July 2022

We went to the local garden centre about a month ago and brought back some little palms. After repotting and allowing them time to adjust it looks as though one of them is finally starting to flourish. I don’t normally take part in these online ‘challenges’, not because I don’t want to but mostly becauseContinue reading “Cellpic Sunday, #CloseUp on our new palms, 10 July 2022”
