La Raya is the line dividing the regions of Cusco and Puno in Peru. At 4335 metres above sea level, La Raya provides beautiful views of the Andes

I really enjoy picking lilies to enjoy in a vase.

It was an early morning start and the low clouds continued to pass over, at times completely blanketing the lost city of the Inca's but fortunately there were also moments like this one.

Gorgeous red flowers also known as Alstroemeria. These are in the front garden.

One of the amazing things about Machu Picchu is its location. Five valleys on one side, the Amazon forest starts. Five valleys on the other leads to the high Andes. This is the view as we were climbing up the Machu Picchu mountain.

Amazing how the Inca's built this city and even more amazing the Spanish didn't find it. Wonderful to be there...

These are so pretty in the garden and even nicer in a vase. I have two colours in the garden, pink and red.

Ten days ago I received a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers from my hubby. The flowers lasted a long time but today I need to separate the best of the bunch and discard the blooms that are spent. The Peruvian Lilies have stayed the freshest and I will arrange them in a new vase with some foliage. They really do brighten up my day.

We were quite surprised to know that close to Lima, the capital city of Peru was a desert town of Ica. This desert has a small oasis call Huacachina. Though full of tourists, foreign and local, we spent a couple of fun days here. Climbing up the sand dunes and sand boarding down.

This species is critically endangered.

Beginnings. A few days ago I received an unexpected gift. A Russian Helios 44-M lens, dating from 1979. You probably know I am a great fan of the 44-2, so I am delighted to be able to add the new lens to my love affair with Russian Helios lenses ;o)

This is my very first shot with the 44-M lens, mounted on the Sony NEX-7 camera. Some small Peruvian lily flowers resting on a glass base, and slightly overhanging it too! Well, I was impatient to see what the lens could do!

With many, many thanks to jesse1dog with his inspired exploration of all manner of lenses and what they can offer the adventurous and curious photographer!!

 

HBW! ;o)
