ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...

 

i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...

  

Closeup of a Royal Palace Prince daylily in my wife’s garden. I was struck by the near edges of the petals. They almost looked like they were made of metal.

I was out most of the day, but stole some of the last rays of sunlight for these pictures. I can't get over how cute she is.

Sometimes you don't need to go looking for the birds - they come to you!!!

I was surprised that this little Red-Browed Finch came so close during a shoot at Hunter Wetlands Centre (Shortland, NSW; Australia) a couple of days ago.

They're usually quite timid and flighty.

I did stay still and in the same spot for a little while capturing a White-cheeked Honeyeater (see previous post!); so he might have got used to me being there!

My 500mm f4L IS lens was tested in its close focusing ability - it is rated at 4.5m / 14.8 ft.

This bird must have been 14.8ft from the end of the lens!!!

You can see just how narrow the DOF is at this aperture this close!

Hope you like it!!

Thanks for any comments, views or favorites -much appreciated!!

Have a wonderful day and week ahead!!

for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

My wife’s indoor moneyplant enjoys the East-facing window and I took the opportunity at breakfast to capture the morning light shining through its leaves.

I really liked the closeup on the center part of this hibiscous flower.

Spring is a special time on 'the Bruce', with the blooming of wildflowers. The Paintbrush were plentiful along Hwy 6 this season and in patches at other locations.
