Thursday 11 November 2010 - White Agapanthus

I call these plants Aggie's Panties. This white one has just opened in our garden. Pity the photo is a bit whited out but we get the idea.

Wednesday 10 November 2010 - Branching Out

I love textures and contrasts. This picture took my fancy today. It's an oak tree in our garden and I love the fresh green shoot against the textures of the bark.

Tuesday 9 November 2010 - Plant Eater

I spent a good half hour in the most overgrown corner of the garden searching for a subject for a macro shot. I found this little termite on a leaf with evidence of his activities in the background. Macros are getting better but still not perfect.

Monday 8 November 2010 - Gerbera

This afternoon I took a tumble in the kitchen and fell rather hard. I spent the evening with my foot elevated and ice packs on the sore ankle. These beautiful potted gerberas cheered me up immensely. These are one of my favourite flowers.

Sunday 7 November 2010 - Begonias

It's been a very busy day today. Gav and I went out to Heartfelt to visit Dad. I was struck by these beautiful begonias in a pot.

Saturday 6 November 2010 - Grasshopper

This chap is saying, "I'm a grasshopper and hopping is what I do best. So take a shot quickly or I'll be gone in one giant leap!"
I went looking for the little spider again. He wasn't there but this guy was hanging out in the undergrowth. Thankfully he hung around long enough for me to get a few shots. I think I must visit that side of the house more often....

Friday 5 November 2010 - White Flower

Today I went round the side of the house looking for my photo. I spied a tiny spider and really wanted to practice macros shots on him. Unfortunately his web was quite high and I had to point the camera up at him. This meant I couldn't get a good shot because he was silhouetted against the grey sky and the glare was too much.

Close by I spied this pretty white flower and so this became my subject for today. I love white blossoms.

Thursday 4 November 2010 - Our Piece of the Planet.

Today I didn't have a photo. There just wasn't anything to inspire me. Late in the afternoon I sat at the garden table and just enjoyed the small garden at the back of our house. The grass is looking so green after the rain last week. Although we still have water restrictions in PE because of the drought we have had coastal showers, which fill our rain tanks but of course our dams aren't filling up in the catchment area.

Wednesday 3 November 2010 - White Spray

I have this big bulbous plant in the garden. It's one that sometimes disappears and then comes up again every year. When I posted a photo of the plant earlier in the year Maggie said she thinks it will get a lovely white flower. Well this week the flower bloomed and Maggie's guess was correct. It's such a delicate and pretty flower. So unusual.
