Camera play

These innocent little pansies were victims of me and my new camera. I have been trying out various settings and these are now 'wide' pansies.

These are 'narrow' pansies. Can't wait to try this out on human victims.

I tried out different 'night' settings and prowling round the garden in the dark wasn't too productive. However, Coldplay belting out their stuff at Glastonbury on tv provided just what I needed. 

I definitely didn't find anything like this in the garden at midnight - thankfully.

Or this!

Just this

Pansy stalks

I'm thrilled to have doubled the number of official followers of this blog - just one more will beat my all time record. The above picture was taken yesterday when the sun popped out for two minutes. The above are the only flowers remaining in the garden (not surprising at this time of year).  About a week after the planting back in the Autumn, a deer ate the flowers from all the others, about twenty plants, and I've had to look at mostly stalks since. I know that it was a deer because I used my expertise gleaned from having watched Ray Meers on the tv, and identified its little hoof prints in the soil.
