Anyway, just to keep it ticking over, here are a few photos I took this week.
The first one is of course an estrelizia - strelitzia in the UK or Bird of Paradise flower, This is the most perfect one I've seen blooming on my morning walks recently.
I have also been experimenting with close-ups - the first photo is of poinsettia flowers that have appeared on last Christmas's plant which is now bursting into new life.
Then there's one of the OH's cherished chilli plants - this one starts out purple and slowly ripens through yellow and orange to red. The plant can look stunning with all the colours and the white flowers at the same time, but at the moment it looks a bit pathetic. then there's rosemary, a pretty red leaved thing and a succulent - I love the squareish leaves on this one.
and finally, guess who had to get in the picture?
Don't believe the bit about A to Z taking all your blogging energy, feeble excuse. I'm still going strong with mine and now on the roadtrip.
ReplyDeleteGood job with the close ups my friend. Close ups is a whole new world full of excitement and new discoveries. My time has been consumed to getting my new blog and website going after the AtoZ challenge. Dumb move I lost my followers starting the new blog. If I was smart I would've just changed the name of the old one. :) Oh well!

Photos and a blog of the beauty that surrounds us from my wheelchair.
I had noticed but being creative is not possible every day. Super pictures so you are forgiven.
ReplyDeleteI've had a hard time keeping up with blogging in May...there's just a lot going on!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I wish Bird of Paradise grew in my climate :-)
Thank you for the lovely photos, Lizy. I think that what we see can be just as important as words. You've made me think of a different climate to the UK, beautiful flowers and maybe a holiday in the Mediterranean.
ReplyDeleteI'm deep in rewrites too, Lizy, so I know exactly how you're feeling. The blog stuff gets left behind, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
Lovely pictures! The Bird of Paradise is such an interesting looking flower. Wishing you all the best with the rewrites.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. I hope the writing is going well.
