When I finally decided to shoot some flowers for my 365, the wind picked up. Horribly. But all my frantic flower planting paid off – I noticed that the small carnation plant which grows in a tight bush wasn’t as much affected by the wind as the other flowers. So I just made sure to…

I drove to Loos today to meet with my old flower guide. On the way to Loos, the fog was so thick (or the cloud was so low) that visibility was greatly reduced and the temperature was a modest 10 degrees, what a contrast to the tropical heat yesterday! We checked out a few favourite…

Now my cosmos flower seedlings look like this:

I’m going to declare May the Month of the Square. I’ll up the ante and add a challenge within a challenge, which is to only use the square format for the 365 pictures in May. Normally I stick to the format that the camera provides (which is 2:3 for the full format and 3:4 for…

Today’s effort was a reminder that although flowers don’t have wings or legs, they’re not easy to catch every time. Some flowers are more prone to wind than others, and this large flowered glory of the snow wouldn’t sit still for a moment. After a few frames I gave up, hoping that I would have…

I came home to a lot of colour in my little garden, now I have all my five species of spring flowers in bloom. The crocuses are peaking, snow drops are almost over bloom and the other species are just starting. I couldn’t wait to get out the macro lens so I shot a few…

I was going to buy a flower so I could shoot the buds, and then the developing flower, and then the withering flower, which was inevitably going to happen because I’ve never succeeding in keeping an indoor plant alive. Yes I know it’s ironic that a person who’s interested in flowers can’t take care of…

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of about introversion and extroversion. There’s no question that I’m an introvert, and I’ve learned to understand a lot of things about myself the more I’ve read about the subject. One thing that is strongly related to (but not necessarily a part of) introversion is something which is called…

It’s been a nice weekend, especially today with what must be the warmest temperature of the summer so far (or maybe not – I hear it was really warm during my vacation). I did some scouting yesterday, primary target was to find flowers but the most exciting thing I came across was some over-bloomed butterfly…
