A bonus shot with the 135mm 1.8
Really like this last one. Moving water makes it different than most of the usual flower pics.

Much appreciated.
The lily ponds at Longwood Gardens are a special place.

It seems to have been an age since I've posted any pictures. The first part of work was very busy with work, and then I was on holiday without very good internet access. Here is a picture from earlier in the summer - another shot of the lavender field.

As we slip into Autumn rain and storms, here in the UK, a brief reminder of the colour and light of summer. This is from the Eden Project, in Cornwall.

Some great flower shots here. Sury, is that last one a Christmas cactus? It reminds me of something my Grandma used to have.

Jeff, Missus mentioned that it was a cactus and I should take some photos.
Beyond that, I do not know. Perhaps it is Christmas Cactus.

This is another Kohleria species: Kohleria digitaliflora warscewiczii. It grows along roadsides near my house.

Nice capture, Pitter. Interesting flowers too. Are they ornamental?
