Sauntering Vaguely Downwards
I have worked my way through the remaining photos from last year, and have uploaded them all to Flickr. Small selection below, mostly flowers. I’m rather fond of the Lisianthus photos (first two and in the header), because I like they way the buds are tightly curled up, and then the flowers unwind going through several stages of shapes. Almost my favourite flower, pipped to the post by Lilacs, because of the scent.
I’ve been quiet, but I have been taking photos over the past week (the furthest they go back is the 7th), I just haven’t started to sort through them until this weekend. It’s actually been a bit of a chore, because I had over 200 to winnow down, and I’ve still got 60 to do a final sort through and upload (it’ll be less than that, but not much less, just removing pics that have a glaring fault I only notice as I go in to crop). The heat is making me very sluggish, and my lethargy is not helped by the fact I took my meds last night and discovered I’d somehow missed two days of pills. I could have sworn I’d taken them, but evidently not. I decided the sanest thing to do would be batches over a couple of days, so this is batch one, and there will probably be two more.
To add to the meh, I did the watermelon shots and I’m not entirely happy. Most of them got ditched, the lighting was generally crappy, and I basically had way more fun eating the thing than taking photos. I may or may not try again at a later date. As always, there are more up on Flickr.
