Day 270 #Project365

 

270-365 bees and blooms

Flowers are one of my ‘fallback’ subjects. Sound harsh I know. But it’s true. They are there, naturally pretty and not moving,  they are an easy subject to photograph and guarantee (mostly) successful result. I find them very helpful whenever I am short of ideas, or too tired from normal daily stuff, or lazy (366 days in a year, I think I’m allowed a day or  7 days of lazy, right). Today’s excuse was exhaustion.

This tree on my backyard just turned pink once the season fully kicked in. It was very attractive, as you could hardly see any green foliage from afar. As I came to have a closer look I saw that I was not the only one attracted to the colours, there were heaps of bees also there busy buzzing and do what bees do, hopping from flowers to flowers.

My kit lens was no micro, but I am quite pleased with this result.

Day 137 #Project365

 

137-365

It’s half a moth away before winter is officially here. Some of the trees had gone completely bald. You see fewer flowers, too, that was why it was quite surprising that I still found a lot of flowers still blooming in my back yard ‘jungle’. I was walking around at the back when I realised how pretty everything looked. It was around 2 PM so the sun was already at an angle this season.

I took a lot of photos with my camera and my kit zoom lens (18-105mm) and had a bit of fun. I was reminded of the joy this humble kit lens can offer and how much fun we two had before the other newer, younger, faster lens came along. I was glad to have taken it out of its bag to come out and play with me today. It was a really fine afternoon.

I picked this beautiful flower for today’s photo despite all others because of its pretty colours and I reckoned we wouldn’t have many more floral shots once the chilly winter starts to kick in. This photo is my way to remember the warmth by, which I’m sure going to be difficult in the months to come, and also as my way to say good-bye to the doom&gloom mood that caught me hard in its grip last night.
