The rain continues to come down so I'm persisting with droplet refraction. I still think it's amazing! This droplet shows my front lawn, trees and some of the spider lily that it is clinging to.
Sorry to continue with the droplets, I won't post one tomorrow ;-)
Busy butterfly 72 / 365
Now this is not a great photo but I really like how you can see her profile. She is a Blue Triangle Butterfly (Graphium sarpedon), at least I think so but please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm new at this. I rarely see these ones so I thought I was really lucky to shoot her at all. That's a white duranta she's about to land on.
Another day, another beautiful sunset 73 / 365
If you enlarge it you can see a grasshopper on a stalk of grass to the right of the shot.
Sunshine on a cloudy day 74 / 365
This rainbow really was as intense as it looks. It was late afternoon with sunshine to the right, black clouds to the left and a beautiful rainbow in the middle.
Not long after this I walked down the road and took yesterday's sunset.
Dianella droplet 75 / 365
The rain keeps falling which means more opportunities for me to take droplet shots. The droplet is hanging to a Dianella bud which is refracting the garden surrounding it.
Pink Torch Ginger 76 / 365 (Etlingera elatior)
This is a beautiful tropical ginger, not edible. I used one of these flowers to rescue the gorgeous butterfly that so happily posed for me -

Granddaughters 77 / 365
The girls stayed with us after school today. They have crazy hair because it was 'shave for a cure' but the kids just get their hair sprayed with colour and teased up. We went walking on Towers Hill, had a great time and came home very hot, thirsty and tired.
I love all your droplets Sheralee. I'm hoping to start to capture some myself once we get more leaves and flowers blooming.
ReplyDeleteEven though your butterfly isn't perfect it certainly is a fabulous shot. To capture it coming in for a landing is super! You captured so much detail in its body!
I love the shots of your granddaughters too! All that wispy grass is very cool.
That butterfly shot is great. I like that the body/face is so sharp- it makes it look like that little butterfly is definitely on a mission to get somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI love your sunset Sheralee, especially the grasshopper. The rainbow photo is wonderful with the array of clouds. I saw a lady taking a photo of her three daughters wearing red tu tu skirts up on the hill. It's a great photography place, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful up there Lesley, especially after so much rain.
ReplyDeleteYou continue to amaze, Sheralee. These are all gorgeous, but the rainbow photo took my breath away. I love the play of light and shadow, and the fluffy cloud being washed over by the storm.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking all of them... but I really love the one of the girls on the rock amongst all the grass. Lovely lighting
