In love with Whiskers, and Macro Photography...

This is my very first attempt at macro photography.

And believe me, so much skill is required.

It is most definitely NOT as easy as one may think 

even with a specialty macro lens attached to the camera body.
But I am hooked!

My steadiness of hand is non-existent!

And to get a windless day where I live is nigh impossible!

(Wind and macro photography do not work well together.)
A tripod, aperture changes, a few online lessons and a whole lot of practice may be the next steps in my Macro photography journey.
The dewdrop and flower subjects were complete failures!
(Let's blame the wind!)

However, Shanti-Rose was the most forgiving model, 

as I photographed her beautiful cat face and whiskers.

 I'm in love with whiskers and Macro Photography.

In Love With Carnations...

What is your favourite flower?

I enjoy many, from lilies to roses...

but I have a deep love of carnations.

Perhaps it's because the clove like smell of the old fashioned carnation 

returns me in a moment of my Grandmothers garden.

They are wonderful to pick...

and last such a long time.

'Dianthus Passion' is one of my favourites,

 wearing a bold deep red colour and emitting its spicy clove scent.

Don't you think they look fab in this quirky pig teapot?

Tea pots make fabulous vases.

I have a selection of them to display posies of garden flowers.

Now, there's an idea for you all.
