The other night I was in the garden, late, and looked at the Agapanthus. They seemed to glow, in the camera light.
I had sewn poppy seeds that were 3 years old, had not been kept in cold storage, so my hopes were not high.However they have bloomed, and if we have no wind tomorrow ,will have more pics. This is one beautiful flower.
On Friday 11th, our Rotorua family were arriving late, a surprise for Hugh, his birthday was on the 10th. Shortly before they drove in, this delicate band of colour was in the western sky.Muted shades, clouds hovering, very little wind, dark trees, nature is wonderful.

Great photos - I see Hugh and Max have the same birthday.
Beautiful shots! Love the colors in the sky!
That frilly poppy is gorgeous - my poppies are always so dependable even in this harsh environment. Happy Birthday to Hugh!
Thank you all, I cannot decide when I have the ready money, will I get a much better telephoto or true macro lens? Think the telephoto wins, as I do so like landscape and skies specially.Cheers from Jean
Happy Birthday to Hugh, somewhat belated!!
LOVE Poppies. I think they are the prettiest flower....so delicate and colourful.
