Roses/ Macro

Day 95 - Roses Thursday 3rd November


Worked in Gosford today which means I got home early which just makes me so happy.  I have a wild rose tree in my front garden and it is finally blooming and it had been raining today so I thought I would get the macro lens out and get some photo's.  I can't tell you how happy I am with these - I have posted a few as they all worked so well.  I really should use my macro lens a bit more as it helps me take great photo's.  Deciding which one to use was the hardest bit but I have decided to go with the buds as they are a bit different and look so good.

















Day 96 - View - Friday 4th November
Had a funeral today and had a day off but only took 3 photo's all day, I guess I wasn't feeling very creative afterwards.  The clouds were awesome this morning when I woke up but I thought I would share my water views with you as it was such a clear day.  This is my view from my front verandah and it changes frequently depending on the weather.  I feel so lucky to have such a pretty outlook.

Day 14 - 14th August - Rainbow

Sunday Sleep In - whooo hoooo. 

It's raining again today so I'm pretty unispired to go anywhere.  Ended up spending the day, washing, cleaning and cooking and watching Season 3 of 90210 - I have borrowed all 7 or 8 seasons off my friend Erin and have it in the background when I am cooking and cleaning - tragic I know - I have to say the acting is terrible but it just makes me laugh!

I took a few still life photo's today of my new vintage find of the week ($2 Mikasa Coffee Pot), then the most spectacular rainbow came out - it was a double rainbow across the full skyline - so I tried to get a bit arty farty taking photo's of this - I was climbing up on chairs on my verandah to get the best shot of the rainbow through the trees.  I also tried to capture the rain today and failed.  I decided I liked the full rainbow shot best - this is the view from my living area verandah and it is ever changing.  I like how the smoke is rising out of the bush and the sun shining through the rain. 

You can't really tell in this photo, but on a clear day, you can see the water just past the red brick house, sometimes it is really blue, sometimes super dull, I do love that I can boast water views - even though they are minimal.  I imagine I will probably post a few shot's from a similar angle throughout the year so you can see the changing view.

Don't you just love a rainbow and sun shower - donna xoxo
