My photo of the day. I have started using the manual features of my phone and my lovely cat, Sox, has been the unwilling subject of my practice. He keeps moving and it is hard to catch him still.
Have a good day everyone.

Another bee on a flower photo. I know this is getting a bit boring but I just can’t help myself when I see a bee flying about my flowers. Plus I had the bonus of some raindrops on the snapdragon.
I hope you are enjoying all my flowers and that they bring some sunshine to your day.
Have a good day

My photo of the day. I had just come home after getting some photos printed for a camera club competition when I saw this monarch butterfly outside. I rushed inside to get my camera and managed to take a series of photos with this one being the best. I love the majesty and fragility of these butterflies. So I was back at the shop to print this one of for the camera club competition. This is my first entry so I do not know how I will go. Will keep you posted.
Have a great day

My photo of the day. This year I have planted some gazinias in my garden and they have been amazing with such bright colours. This shot is my first attempt at a close macro and I am really pleased with the photo. I am so thrilled with what I can achieve with my camera. This is another photo that will remind me of summer in the midst of winter. I hope you take pleasure in this photo too.
Have a good day and happy snapping

Rain drops on succulents.jpg, a photo by Patricia Manhire on Flickr.
This image is quite different from what I have been doing, but I love the way the photo goes in and out of focus and highlighting the rain drops.
Have a good day

This is the first time I have managed to capture a butterfly. The weather has cooled considerably and the butterflies were slow and lethargic which helped a lot.

Another interesting photo. The rain drops look like diamonds and almost too big for the leaf.
