I dusted off the SX600 to put it to photography use in the garden today (technically yesterday, but I haven’t been to bed yet) instead of using my phone. So much more versatile for taking photographs and better quality images. The SX40 has also been cleaned and battery charged for whenever I get around to it. Will have to find somewhere to go to use it.
I also went through the most ‘recent’ (ha! 2013-2017) folders to sort them out at last. I’ve uploaded a bunch of those to Flickr so that’s finally up to date. They include flowers, butterflies, some other wildlife and baby seals. How can you not love baby seals?
We’ve got pink aquilegia (columbines) in the first three photos. I love most (there’s a small, purple, frilly variety that I dislike) aquilegia flowers as they’re interesting to look at and can do fascinating things with colours. They’ll cross-pollinate, so you can get a mix of colours from different plants. The other three photos are apple blossom (of course, need to do some with the proper camera), pink bluebells an a dandelion clock. We don’t want the dandelions really, but seed heads are fun to look at.
