Botanical Gardens

In my last post of dew drops, I mentioned I was actually taking photographs of flowers before I got sidetracked. So I thought I would post some of them. But then I realised I only had 2 photos that I liked- but that maybe I could slip some photos in from our trip to the Cooroy Botanical Gardens back in December. I had only just got my camera, but I think there's a few alright through them! We spent hours traipsing through the park. Master J had my old point and shoot camera and was just as into it as me! Might have to plan a trip up there again soon...

Being a Drip

The neighbours would have had a bit of a laugh at my expense if they looked out their windows this morning! I planned on taking photos of some flowers ma got for her birthday, and took them outside to get some natural light when the twinkling of dew drops in the grass caught my eye. So out comes the macro!! :) So here I am in the wet crass on my knees and elbows trying to get some half decent shots. And I'd like to think the muddy skirt and arms were worth it! How often do you stop and actually take notice of the tiny dew drops in the morning- particularly with these cool winter mornings? They are perfectly round- beautiful!! There's one you'll see sitting on a blade of grass that looks just like a bubble!!
Don't forget to check them out in higher quality on my Flickr Photostream!

Moondance

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies...

Well, it's not October, but it is definitely a marvelous night for a moondance! While it's still a bit chilly, its not as cold as it was this time last week. But the moon is superb! This is the first time any of my photos of the moon have actually worked out, and I must say, I love them!! What do you think??! Don't forget to check them out in better quality HERE
