Photos from the edge.... · 02:44 PM

Photos from the edge of the driveway..... sorry there are no photos of bugs. The only ones I saw were trying to suck my blood.

The scene of the crime....

Technically not a flower but still pretty cool...

The rest are mostly tiny flowers made big..

Thanks jac , of course some of the smaller flowers took 20 shots to get right ( down on my hands and knees, being buzzed by blood thirsty bugs, my knees getting soaking wet even though I'm using a piece of blue foamy as a mat. .straining to even get a peek of a look through the eyepiece.. that one I just plunked down the tripod while walking by, and two of the three were good. And that's the one you like? Life is sooo strange.

ain't that just too true, some good shots here, I like the way you show the area where you took the shots, I've had a vague Idea floating around in my head for a while (I get a few of them) that it might make an interesting idea for a thread to show a shot (or two) then reveal a general shot of the area where the shot was made.

I hope it does better than our photographer and image thread, we thought every husband and wife took their DSKRs out and took pictures of each other pictures, but apparently it's just us.

Photographer and photo..

I liked the last image, what I used to call Lily of the Valley but maybe it's not really.

It just reminds my of my late grandfathers place, who had a wee corner section of his garden covered in it.

They have taken over some of our place as well. Thanks for commenting.
