It feels like a long time since I did my last post, I just haven't been out much lately and today's no different, the following shot where from my garden this afternoon.
There isn't much around here at the moment, but hopefully I will try and get out tomorrow and do a more interesting post.
Not sure what these flowers are called I'm sure someone will let me know, but they look really good at the moment.
I will post my photo of the month for July tomorrow as well.
All photos taken 02/08/2008.
Well - we all have these drags, where nothing's happening. But I wouldn't call what you got nothing!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Cheers, Klaus
I wondered what you were up to Mike. I figured you had the summer blahs. It is so hot and humid here I don't want to get outside if I don't have to. I will look forward to your coming posts.
ReplyDeleteThe flower looks like a petunia to me. It is a pretty one too.
ANYTHING you post is interesting, even if you don't think it is! You make a blackbird as attractive as a flower! I vote for that bird with the red berry in its mouth for July photo of the month! I loved that one!
ReplyDeleteBoth photos are terrific. The flower is stunning and beautiful. Great captures. Looking forward to your photo of the month!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the name of the flower being a Petunia as well; I even have one that looks like that I think. (will check it out in the morning). Your Crow picture is very handsome.
ReplyDeleteHi there Mike,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa - looks like a petunia to me. Oh... MIke you must be delighted with your male blackbird shot! You always said you had difficulty capturing. Well, I certainly think you have with this photo - and some!!!
Enjoy the rest of you weekend :-D
Hi Shirl, thanks for the comment, I knocked the exposure down to -0.7 which works well with blackbirds and the white parts of bluetits.
