We have lots of this colourful and interestingly shaped plant in one of our flower beds. It's flowering much more this year.
Refractions of a sunflower... E x p l o r e d ! Its highest position is #11.
I'm back to shooting macros. Just practicing my eye while waiting for the Kenko extension tube set to arrive. Two more nights -- I just can't wait!

A macro of a part of a cactus we have on the terrace which has been growing like crazy these past couple of months. It's covered in little oval shaped leaves at the moment and it was these I wanted to try and capture. There's a photo of it in the first comment.
Have a great new week ahead everyone! 😊

Poppies in the garden being blown hither and thither by strong warm breezes. We're currently having a bit of a heatwave with temperatures of 30c so an early blast of summer
This is a similar shot to a one I uploaded recently but this one I took with a lower shutter speed. I much prefer this one because of the light and shadows and general feeling of drama
These were the last of the irises from the garden which I cut and put into a vase to enjoy indoors although I wasn't aware that after a couple of days they start to drip a purple liquid so this evening they've gone to their compost heap in the sky :-)

(here: something that was given to me by my father)
This faceted crystal sun-catcher was a gift from my father. If I remember correctly, he brought it with him from an inpatient rehab stay.
It's already a bit worse for wear after all those years, with a chipped edge (or two) and a lot of micro scratches. But it still refracts the light beautifully ... it hangs on the balcony door of my study. A lovely memento ♡
... shine on !
( the whole suncatcher is just under 4 cm in diameter )
Happy Macro Mondays, everyone !
Last night we had incredible storms, one after the other with lots of very welcome rain. When I was putting our food waste in the compost bin in the garden this morning after the storm clouds had passed and the sun was coming out I noticed this bush of hibiscus flowers. They had survived the rain and were still covered in raindrops which I thought was quite remarkable considering the severity of the storms. It's been full sun all afternoon and the temperature has dropped to a very pleasant 24c. Not to be sniffed at 😊

Happy (Macro) Mondays, everyone
I am busy today; I will try to catch up tonight or on Tuesday.
We have loads of purple irises in full bloom in the garden. They're very common here and grow wild by the sides of roads

We've just endured 2/3 days of storms, the third week in a row we've had such storms. I've never known so much rain since we arrived. The river at the bottom of our garden is a raging tempest - fortunately, not dangerous to us. Yesterday evening we had alerts pop up on our phone from the authorities warning us that there was 'danger to life and limb' from the rain. These are storms which are particular to the area and are called a 'Cévenol episode' which, according to Madame Google is defined as:
"A meteorological phenomenon that mainly occurs in the Cévennes (France) and its surrounding area.
It consists of very violent and highly localised storms, accompanied torrential rain, in most cases causing, flooding.
How do Cévenol episodes form - the phenomenon is well known to meteorologists and it is relatively well understood. Cévenol episodes form when the warm and humid air from the Mediterranean heads north. When it comes up against the mountains barrier of the Cévennes, it meets the cold air present at high altitude. These conditions are often present in autumn. They classically form rain clouds. But in this case, the clouds are blocked by the mountain and perpetually form and re-form. Thus, storms can last for several hours, causing major damage.
Few have forgotten the Vaison-la-Romaine deluge in 1992 during which 150 mm of water fell in two hours, or almost one quarter of the annual rainfall for Paris."
I appreciate that living in the south of France has many advantages especially concerning the weather but we do have life threatening storms - three in the last three weeks.
Bon Dimanche! (Happy Sunday!) 😊
I took this photo of one of many dandelion seedheads in our garden in Springtime. I thought it looked more interesting flipped over.

HMM, everyone !
I am bit under the weather; I will try to catch up later on
