I found this site yesterday while browsing through Flickr.  If you have a Canon DSLR and are stuck for a bit of inspiration, take a look at these photos!

When I see things like that, then I KNOW how much I have to learn!

I know, more flowers ***insert rolling eyes emoticon here***!  But I’m enjoying seeing all the colour in my mom’s garden, now that Spring has sprung :)   Just wish we would get some rain, it’s very dry here!
And I actually don’t know what it is, but I’m sure that my mom will let me know as soon as she reads this post ;)

I just love it when the clivias are in bloom, the bright orange signify the end of winter to me. They really brighten up the end of winter gardens. I took this photo in my mom’s garden this evening.  It hasn’t been adjusted at all, the colours of this particular plant were significantly brighter than the others.

I don’t have as many photos to show you today, I’ve had a bit of a slow photo week.

Ok, it’s a bit…. no, very blurred :)   But I still quite like it.  It’s the first time I’ve tried to do a self-portrait with my SLR, it’s a LOT more difficult than with a P&S. 

What I don’t like about it is that you can still see my wrinkles on my fingers and under my eyes!

I really, really tried to think of something more creative for this week’s photohunt, but when I hear “wrinkled“, I only think about myself! OMW, I’m feeling old at the moment.  I’m not sure if it’s because of my hairstyle or what, but I’m not happy with the way I look at all.
