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.

Welcome back.
My neighbour has a big magnolia tree and every so often the tree produces beautiful large blooms. I managed to capture this flower opening over the space of half an hour. Here the flower is almost completely open and the centre is exposed. I love the creaminess of the petals with the purple and green/yellow of the centre. I will put a range of photos showing the flower opening on my photograph page.
Have a good day

I love this photo. I think my macro photography is improving – still a long way to go though.

Another photo of the day. I just managed to capture the little rain drop in the centre of this flower.

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

This is my photo of the day. My poor cat is getting fed up with me trying to take photos of him and turns his back on me. However, that doesn’t mean that a back view does not make a good photo. Here he is outside looking out for birds and mice. Tomorrow I will be back to crafts again. I have been working on a template for gifts to take to my Crafty Angels group so will photograph the steps and post them for your information tomorrow. Have a great day.

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
