The weather has been cool and wet each day since Monday's sunny Athletics Carnival. A little sunshine snuck through the clouds today, so welcome after its absence.

One more gerbera, yet to reveal its colours, still holds its secret close.

African daisies continue to bloom constantly, adding bright pops of colour to our winter garden.
The bulbs I planted are slowly growing, I think these must be ranunculus as the foliage is unfamiliar.
More happy daisies, soaking up the brief sunlight. Winter is so much nicer with a little sunshine!

Amazing what a little sunshine can do! Delightful captures! Love the colors! Hope you and your family have a lovely weekend!

What beautiful, beautiful photos!

I love that fifth photo! I need a macro lens. Cool and wet weather sounds wonderful- it's summer here and I live in a part of the U.S. that gets blazing hot and summer drags by. But it gets pretty hot in Australia when you have summer too, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours and wonderful macros!
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole....I don't have a macro lens but a macro conversion lens - you'll find more details here http://piecesofcontentment.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/dancing-and-singing.html
ReplyDeleteYes, we do have long hot summers, not as hot as many areas of Australia (thankfully).
wonderful macros!
ReplyDeleteciaooo...:)
Chciałabym, aby mi takie piękne kwiaty rosły chociaż jesienią w ogrodzie, bo o zimie to nawet pomarzyć nie ma sensu. Piękne zdjęcia. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteI wish me such beautiful flowers growing in the garden in autumn though, because the winter is even dream does not make sense. Beautiful pictures. Yours.

You achieve such great color and clarity with your magnifier! I practiced again this morning. Sometimes I get a "tunnel effect" - not sure why. Let us know what color that bloom is when the bud fully opens!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I love the detail and color in the last one. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of the bud before it bloomed. They are all fantastic as usual, but that one is so magnificent. I love the details. I could just reach out and touch it.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular photos! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of your amazing technique with your first and last shot - could look at them for a long while. But am more amazed with the story I see behind your second shot.
ReplyDeletewow, amazing last shot :)
ReplyDeleteEvery season needs sunshine to brighten up the days.
ReplyDeleteLove the African daisies. What a delight to still have them blooming in wintertime.
Bye,
