19. Grass Pink Orchid
Another Grass Pink Orchid
18. Rose Pegonia
This is another little orchid. And little is not an understatement. I have my camera sitting on the ground for this photo.
16. Indian Paintbrush
Indian Paintbrush photographed against a backdrop of evergreen at Oliphant on the Bruce Peninsula.
11. Wood Lily
This a macro photo of a wood lily
10. Grass Pink
A Grass Pink orchid with a drop of morning dew is framed again the reflection of the sun in a small pool of water.
09. Poppies
Another shot similiar to yesterday’s, this photo is a different composition. I like this one better though.
08. Poppies Looking into the Sun
This is a bit of a landmark image for me, photo #1000. I started this photo blog on February 1st, 2005 (after having previously displayed my images on another one of my sites for several years) with a photo of a Silver Cheeked Hornbill and posted daily up until a little bit before my wedding last year when other priorities became more important. I continued to post regularly, though not daily up until March of this year when because of hosting problems with my web provider, I became too frustrated and stopped posting until June 1 when I resumed daily posting.
Today’s photo, shot on my recent trip to the Bruce Peninsula with Scott is of poppies growing wild along the roadside. I am sure they had been part of a garden at one time, but the area appears to be overgrown now.
I hope to continue daily posting. It does get tiring at times, and sometimes I need a little inspiration to put up a new photo. I can’t say I will make another 1000 photos but I will give it a shot. The important thing is not to stop. After a while, it almost becomes an addiction.
I haven’t done a good job up so far of advertising it, but many of my images here are available for sale but I hope to have that rectified shortly.
05. Twins
A pair of Yellow Lady Slipper orchids sit nestled in a wooded area.
Like yesterdays, I like the blue in this photos. I think that it compliments the yellow of the orchids.
04. Slippers
Another photograph of two Yellow Lady Slipper orchids I photographed a couple weeks ago on the Bruce Peninsula. I don’t remember what was behind to give it the blue tint to the shadows but I do like the results.
03. Yellow Lady Slipper
A Yellow Lady Slipper orchid photographed in the Bruce Peninsula between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.
21. Geranium
A wild geranium photographed along a roadside earlier this spring.
10. Raindrops
Raindrops on a tulip. Again, shot with a 100mm or 135mm lens and a set of extension tubes.
08. Garden Tulips
This is a photo of a some of the tulips from my garden. I shot this with either a 100mm or 135mm lens and a couple of extension tubes.
I wrote about using extension tubes for macro photography here.
07. Hepatica
I shot this while out with my father a while back. Hepatica is one of the earlier wildflowers to bloom in my area. About the same time as Dutchman’s Breeches and before the Trilliums are up. This was found protected under a fallen tree.
Other photos of Hepatca can be found here, Dutchman’s Breeches here and Trilliums here.
On another note, I have been using Wordpress for a week now and am still working on getting it to behave how I would like it to. If you have experienced any errors or have any comments, please fill out the comment form and let me know.
05. Calla Lily #5
This is the last of the Cally Lily shots I am posting. Tomorrow, something different.
02. Calla #2
Calla Lily #2. I have five different versions of this Calla ready, not sure if I will post all five though.
01. Calla
f8 1/125 s
It’s been a while since I have posted. The absence has been a combination of things, vacation, busy with the business, other priorities and an issue with my hosting provider and problems with the software I had been using for the blog, Movable Type. I still believe that it is the best software for what I was doing but because the hosting company didn’t work with it well I have had to change.
I am now using WordPress. I have been trying to get used to it and get the site set up the way I want, but I find it is not as customizable as Moveable Type. I will be posting more often though!
