Macro Monday- something that starts with P

Happy Macro Monday to all the Macro lovers!

 

Another Macro Monday complete. Thanks for all the favorites and comments and congratulations to all of those who made Explore this week!!

I could stand it no longer LOL. Today was a lovely sunny day (until the storm hit) and I walked around to my neighbour's garden with my camera. I am so tired of not being able to do anything so hopefully the surgeon will be able to offer some relief when I see him on Tuesday.

Playing with my lensbaby velvet. Love it.

A Chrysanthemum to brighten your day. I haven't seen the sun here for two weeks so it was time to buy some flowers.

 

Best viewed large. Thank you for your visits, faves and comments!

I haven't posted flowers for a while so here you go. The Agapanthus flowers are all out here at the moment and these are some from my neighbour's garden. I haven't spent much time there since we came home, but I have been around there a couple of times.

We have been having lots of wind here the last few weeks and I was trying to take some photos of a dandelion and I couldn't keep it still. I put it amongst a Grevillea in a sheltered part of the garden and here is the result. I love the delicate white amongst the red.

It has been another very hot day here in Sydney again today. I went out into my garden in the late afternoon when there was a nice breeze blowing (not very good for photos though). As I was wandering around with my camera this little damselfly landed on some ground cover that we have in the garden.

Bien que la plupart des muscaris actuellement cultivés soient inodores, le nom de « Muscari » vient du grec muschos, (musqué), car certaines variétés ont une odeur musquée.

We are having computer problems (haven't been able to get on all day), but it seems to be working at the moment. I think it is time for an upgrade. I will try and come back later on my hubby's laptop and catch up with you all.

I have been to see the surgeon today. Everything is going well and I don't have to see him for 5 weeks.

I love flower photography. I need to make time to do it more, another of my favorite photos

I was busy yesterday and completely forgot to add my photo yesterday. I spotted this flower in another neighbour's garden and have no idea what it is called, but it is very pretty.

 

I found out the name - it is Bleeding Heart Glorybower (Clerodenrum).

The srugery went well - in at 12.30 and home at 6.30 yesterday. I am in a little pain but not as bad as last time.

It was such a pleasure to be out today with like minded macro lovers. Thanks to my friend Judy Gallagher I was able to see these just hatched Leaf-footed Bugs? Such a delightful day and delightful company.

I love this Hibiscus which is blooming at the moment in my neighbour's garden, and as most of the flowers are disappearing for the Winter, it is a welcome spot of colour in the garden.

 

We have been out all day visiting Peter's Dad who turned 92 years old today - still going strong, lives by himself in his own home, and still drives.

I am still going okay. I don't have a lot of pain, but every so often I will move my arm and I get a dreadful sharp stinging pain which feels like the stitches are tearing. I have them out tomorrow, so hopefully this will settle down then.

It has been blowing a gale here today, not ideal for taking macro photos, so I have been looking through my archives. These were taken some time back (two years ago to be exact) in my neighbour's garden. I was taking photos of his beautiful roses when I noticed the little spider.

These little native bees are so tiny - around the size of a small house fly. When I first saw them a while back I did think that they were flies, but on uploading the photo saw that they were indeed little bees.

Love is lovelier the second time around. Beautiful close-up of this very tiny flower named Doña Aurora.
