~ the sun was shining, it was a balmy 22 degree Spring day. Decided to top up the Vitamin D levels in a most enjoyable way this afternoon, out in the garden, camera in hand.
Hello Vicki and thank you very much. I do love the grevilleas and am heartened at their quick growth. I go against advice and plant all my natives quite close together - great habitat for the small birds. Looking through blogs such as yours and others I visit, I've learnt to get up close to a subject for photos and enjoy the results!
I love grevillias but they are the devil to photograph up close as with all those spikey bits there is always something out of focus. A few are flowering in my garden right now, should be in my garden blog in the next couple of days.
Exactly, and they're so beautiful you want to get everything in the picture in focus. I have had a go drawing them, their structure is so intricate aren't they. Must try again!! Am looking forward to your photos.
What a glorious collection of grevilleas, Susan. And yesterday was the perfect day to be out enjoying them. :)
