You’d think that when you’re standing in a meadow dotted blue with forget-me-nots, it would be easy to find a subject. Nix. I was walking up and down the meadow, growing ever more desperate – it has got to be somewhere here, I just need to find it. And I did. So that’s another flower…

While most people are busy complaining about the weather, I’m busy photographing. A little bit of rain, overcast, almost no wind, and cool – I couldn’t really ask for more, it’s as perfect as it gets for flower photography. The biggest problem is that the prime flower season hasn’t started yet… but it’s not like…

Not wanting to miss the lady’s slippers (Cypripedium calceolus) like two years ago, we checked out the status on Saturday. And were astonished to find out buds already! So they are in full bloom this week, which makes them record early (or actually, about as early as two years ago when I missed them…). Some years…

Angelina Jolie move over. My lower lip is a plastic surgeon’s dream right now, except for the cuts and bruises on both sides of it… The inside of the lip is looking particularly gross. Since my chin was still oozing nasty this morning, I decided that it’s best I go to the ER and have…

If you look at the average and high temperatures for May, 2009 was not much different from 2008. Except for one major thing – we didn’t get any snow this year! A hailstorm on the 27th but that was gone quickly. I noted down some signs of spring last year so I’d better do it…

They say that you’re not a real biker until you’ve crashed. If that is so, then I must be a real biker now! Me and motorbike buddy set out for a nice evening ride in the warm sunshine. We came to a small forest road that I haven’t driven before, it was partly soft sand…

Today is the national park day so I headed to the Hamra NP. I was hoping to find out more about the park but very early on in the guided walk it transpired that it was going to take a lot longer than I had patience for. I took the first opportunity to get ahead…

The marsh marigold are starting to bloom, but my problem was much the same as I faced with the wood anemone – what I could I do with them that I haven’t already done? I didn’t want to take the same pictures all over again. Then I thought of the leaves, I noticed last week…

I wanted to get back to my semi-high key wood anemones from Sunday. I liked the composition in this one with the foreground flower asymmetrically mirrored in the oof flower on the right (if it’s possible to ”asymmetrically mirror” anything?), plus the open white space above. In Lightroom, I muted the colour in the leaves…

I’ve got quite a few wood anemone pictures, some of them I’m even happy with. So at first I didn’t know what to do with the flowers because I didn’t want to repeat what I already had in the catalogue, but then I came up with the idea of trying high key. I have a…
