My hydrangea broke a few months ago after a really strong windstorm and I did try to get this to grow roots, but nope it died. Got some nice photos of it and the main plant is still alive so should have some more flowers next year. Love how all the colours blend together. Love how much detail shows up on my camera lens. Still wet from the storm. As usual, photos taken by John since I can't see properly to take photos, even with auto focus on. I figured out the best way to describe my vision. If you have ever been swimming and opened your eyes under water, that blurry out of focus look is how my vision is at the moment. Getting better but still messed up.

Too many seeds in the trough? :p Meh, couldn't be bothered thinning them out so we have a burst of colour in the backyard. Makes for some nice photos with the newish lens. I really should draw or paint some of the photos John took, (I can;t really use the camear right now due to fuzzy vision :( ). Would be a challenge to see if I could get the colours as bright as the actual flowers.

So a few weeks ago I posted some photos from Duthie Park so decided to post some more photos from that trip but this time mostly more cacti from their greenhouse. This photo gives you an idea of how big some of the cacti there are when compared to the people in the photo. And if I remember correctly, there are even bigger ones there. I didn't know people can eat these after taking all the spines off. Wonder what it tastes like. OK, so not a cactus but it was in the same area :p And a flower so that there is at least one flower for Friday ;) Would have hated to fall, trip and then land on this. Hurts enough when I pick up my little prickly cactus wrong, couldn't imagine the pain from this. Just love the blue tones to this cactus. And there are little areas like this all over the garden. Some inside, others outside like this one was. But all are decorated nicely.

  This weeks word is: 1. riddy Last weeks word, potted heid is meat from a cow or pig's head that has been boiled and chopped into small pieces,  covered in jelly made from the stock. It smells disgusting :p

  Well new to me :p Need a lot of practice to try to remember how to use it properly instead of always having it on auto, but it takes nice photos just on auto. :)
