June 21-4

While it is nearly 10:30 p.m. when the sun sets here just now, the direct sun leaves most of our back garden by about 7 PM due to houses, trees etc.  Tonight, I got out early enough to capture the last of the highlights of the sun.  I was watering plants when I noticed the light on the poppies.

I like the way these turned out tonight.

A few more images in my little project to explore the garden.  It is very easy to move from flower to flower — much like a bee — without really working too hard on what the composition etc. should be.  I am using a shallow depth of field in these images — and seeking complimentary colours or …  to set off the main item.

I am going to present a short gallery of images taken within our garden over the next weeks — developing my skills at looking for the beautiful in the normal.

Plenty of activity in the garden just now with the rain we have had — lots of flowers and lots of bees.  The rabbits have had their way with some of our seedlings. Is rabbit best roasted slowly?
