OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I was very inspired by one flickrer's beautiful use of shallow DOF, especially for things up close like flowers.

They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. I don't think I match up quite yet though; there's slight misfocus if you look at it big.

Oh, and congrats on finishing 365!

Fresh air and a camera...

I'm usually hopeless at keeping these delicate flowers alive. I either over water or under water them. Put them in the sunlight too much or not enough. But, this year I seem to have got it right.

We love you so much - we're so happy and grateful to have you in our life!!! ^_^

As I mentioned previously, the home laptop died. I don't know if it can be resurrected so I'm using my work laptop instead. I'm missing all my flickr firefox scripts, shortcuts etc. This photo will just have to keep you company until it's fixed!!!

Hugs to all. XX

Pakodak muna...puro nalang ba house chores:((.

Lintos-lintos na ang mga kamay ko katatabas ng mga halaman.

Grabe, dahil sa flickr..naging gubat ang aming dati-rati'y luntiang hardin=)

Undertaken with GlobalNomad.

A cardinal red speciality tulip variety opened fully - to me, they look as they've 'gone past it' (I know the feeling.....) as they don't stay in closed-up mode for very long. But the colour and shape is certainly quite different.

The background bokeh is provided by the early flowering bluebells - regrettably the Spanish invaders, not the English variety.
