Vevey, by the Geneva lake

While walking on a trail I came across this Thistle and I wanted to get a shot of it using a tripod. So I pulled it, brought it home and put it in a vase of water. I didn't get to it for a day and then I noticed that the spent flower had started to come "alive" and the seeds were bursting out of it. I had it in our porch away from the wind and took a few shots and stacked them in Photoshop. I think it did a pretty good job since the seeds didn't want to stay completely still! It was taken with outdoor light and a black board behind it.

Winter here in West Wales is usually colour-free in the garden until the January/February bulbs start to appear. This year, despite the hard frosts and chilly days, some roses are still budding and blooming, a welcome and somewhat unexpected burst of colour in the flower borders and in mid-December!

Sunlight bursting through the misty trees further up the track giving the forest an eerie feel.

A foggy morning in the Royal National Park.

There's a patch of these Common Hawkweed growing in the lawn this year. I didn't plant them and have no idea where they've come from, but I didn't have the heart to mow them and they've come up beautifully ..

SoCal hit the burst button this year for wildflowers.

I did not get to see the poppies. which is fine for me because in the lower desert we are blessed with this burst of yellow and gold.

I did not know Brittlebush existed before I moved here.

2017 was a fabulous year for wildflowers ( before this year hit )

I went down a few times to shoot these then.

I've been passing these for a few weeks now in my travels down the hill and finally took a trip down there this afternoon to have my way ......

I'm sure I'll be posting a few more. LoVe these xxxx

btw this is lower desert, I live in the high desert. this is off hwy 62

Lovely blossoms from our flowering ornamental plum.

Happy Easter to all my Flickr friends.

Stay healthy and safe.

While walking through the neighborhood.

The last couple years the neighborhood fireworks have been pretty spectacular for an amateur backyard show. I decided to capture them this year and was very pleased with my camera. I used the bulb setting and manual focusing. I hope you enjoy some of the show!
