Tim and I set ourselves a challenge yesterday – find some flowers (or a single flower) and take a photo.
Simple, straightforward … or so it would seem. I had a shot in mind, but couldn’t find the flower I wanted, so had to make do with some tulips!
It wasn’t difficult!!

On the weekend Tim and I travelled west – to the Otways.
We stumbled across some giant Californian Redwoods, found our way to Hopetoun Falls, travelled on to the 12 Apostles for sunset, then waited a bit longer till the sun was almost gone.

Tim and I love to go a-wandering, along a mountain track … and if we can’t find one of those, we drive west for miles until we stumble upon a forest.
Yesterday we stumbled upon sequoia redwoods near Beech Forest in the Otways.
Living in the city means that getting amongst the trees is particularly special – and what a special place this was!

We are finally on our way – I hope the boat’s gentle rocking puts me to sleep!
Here’s another little one I’m ultra excited to spend time with over the weekend

I was drawn to the delicacy of each petal … the potential encapsulated in the bud …

Did I mention that I like taking photos of flowers? Especially, at this time of year, dahlias. Here’s another image from my flower photo shoot on Friday.
I put a black box behind the flower and it proved to be a good backdrop. A table lamp resting on a box of tissues which was resting on the water jug supplied the lighting. A bit of de-saturation … and there you have it.
The same flower as in yesterday’s post, but different conditions – and a completely different final image.

It’s getting close to dahlia time again … until I can shoot this year’s crop, here’s one from last year.
