My husband has a new interest since Covid began. He is learning to play the keyboard, music theory and composition. He composed this piece of music which I find to be light and refreshing. I hope you enjoy his first piece 🙂
Some photos from a native garden a few doors down from mine.
The Daily Stoic, written by Ryan Holiday, includes a wise quote for each day of the year and then a modern day interpretation of the quote. Today’s quote is from Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher, Marcus Aurelius. I thought it to be relevant to today amidst the politics of COVID19.
Continuing my theme of taking close-up photos of stamps – I am learning more about where the camera focus lands so that is good!
Here is the last sample. Please let me know if you see some rare or valuable stamps! I would be most appreciative :). If you click on each stamp you will be able to see the whole image
Here are some more photos of my stamps from around the world. They tell quite a story:
I am trying to improve my photography skills and today I tried taking close up photos from my stamp collection. It is a group of five albums given to me about 30 years ago. There is a wide variety of stamps from countries around the world. I will do a few posts on them so as I can give you a fair sample of what I’ve got. Here are some to start with:
I visited a local reserve (area of natural bushland) today. It was so much better than I anticipated. My aim was to take close-up photos of flowers. I still have lots to learn about using my DSLR camera but about 50% of the photos came out okay. Better luck next time!
Here are some images of the native vegetation. Much of it is quite unique to South Western Australia.
Here is a link from Wikipedia about Xanthorrhoea (featured in the photo above).
Thanks for the positive feedback on my previous two orchid posts. I will make this my last one for now even though I have many more. So here goes:
I still have lots of orchids from last weekend’s Show to share. I hope you enjoy them :). I am learning more about photography and thinking about getting a macro filter (rather than a macro lens) as I love taking close ups. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Last Saturday I went to an Orchid Show and took lots of photos. They were amazing. I will share some images of them in my next few posts. I hope you enjoy the show.
