My garden is looking really sad right now, and I got downright depressed walking around it this evening looking for things to photograph. The huskies have destroyed it… do you know that they’ve even eaten and destroyed my cactus plants?!
I did manage to find one or two things that looked ok though…

I just love the way you process these….such ART.
Lovely shots .. I ended up in the flowers section of photography as well today. Not a bad place to be 
Henti
Our dog also destroyed our garden when he was still very young. He’s now almost three years old and has finally calmed down, though he still likes to dig holes in the lawn. I really like the second shot, I feel like I can stare at it for hours.
[...] There is something special about taking photos of flowers. I’m not quite sure what it is, but I love doing it. I love the colours, the detail, the life in them. It seems Jeanette and I had similar ideas today [...]
I bought 3 beautiful Venus protea flowers from Woolies today… just so I could get my photo for the day I adore proteas!! Not least because they last for weeks in vases!!
In fact, I could see these 3 photos printed in canvas and mounted on my wall… I really like all the deconstructed shapes

Oooh – these are gorgeous! Love the colours!
Beautiful! I especially like the first 2
Beautiful!
beautiful! the colours and light is so lovely and warm, they look like they are lit up from the inside
Oh yes, they’l be great on canvas.
Those colours are beautiful, so soft & warm
Ooh, I could absolutely see those as a triptych canvas!
I had to leave the office early today to pick the kids up, and instead of taking them to my mom‘s house after we did homework, my mom joined us at the local park for a bit of a dog walk. It was fun, and I think the walk was a fabulous idea for my mom, who has been feeling a little under the weather lately.
How cool is Connor’s new “soccer” shirt?! It was made by one of the mom’s at his school.
It’s a pity the view is so murky, but on a clear day you can see the entire Joburg skyline from that particular spot.
And thankfully, even though the municipality had cut the grass since my trip there on Monday, there were odd patches of beautiful long grasses that were just waiting for me and my camera

I love the one of your mom, the boys and the dogs – stunning.
What a collection of beautiful photographs.
Your talent to take the most mundane thing and make it breathtaking always astounds me.
Fo shizzle.
Love Connor’s shirt! And I love the pic of your mom and the kidlets running – an awesome action shot!
That was good … good for me .. thanks my girl!
Those grasses are like pink diamonds !! You used to always pick bunches of those grasses when we went walking in that same area when you were little .. long before all the houses, townhouses .. a place where cows used to walk!!! Unbelievable hey?
Oh Jeanette! that golden light. sigh…I’m feeling down lately about my photography. I just haven’t been out taking pics much. just my dumb old kitty shot each day. sigh….
Beautiful pictures as always, and HOW COOL IS THAT SHIRT?!?!
Very cool how the sun catches his hair in the 2nd pic.
Those grasses look lovely in that light
Flowers again!! I know… it’s getting a little boring hey? I’m actually thinking that maybe I should stop my 365 challenge, call it quits.
Anyhoo, I got home late-ish again, so I bought some tulips just to take a photo of themand of course, because they brighten up my house
. This time I did the unthinkable, I used my flash… which is very unusual for me. So for those interested, I added some moodiness in Lightroom… and now I like it!
I got a lot of questions about the photo I posted yesterday with the pinky texture, and in fact, I get the same questions every time I post a texture shot… would anyone like me to explain how I did it… I can post the steps tomorrow as a blog post. It was done with a combination of Lightroom and Photoshop.

I’m late to the take, but yes please, I’d like you to do a blog post on how to. Also, I don’t think flowers are boring. I think they make great artsy shots.
Hey girl! I don’t think you should stop. I think all your photos are fabulous, and have a purpose. keep it up.
Please do Jenty – I’d love to learn how to do this, been wondering for a while now.
Very lovely! I like the romantic feel
Please do Jenty – I’d love to learn how to. I love the tulips though. Beautiful. I am also finding the 365 a challenge in the winter light conditions, but I have started putting them together in a photobook and that has really inspired me again. Like a snapshot of my life week by week.
This is stunning, please dont stop!
beautiful! I love photos of flowers…!
PLEASE dont stop your #365 challenge… your website is ALWAYS on of the first ones i open in the morning… along with gmail… don’t take it away from us
Love this one! Not boring for me!
These are LOVELY! The tulip festival has been on in Ottawa for the past week, but I haven’t gotten to it yet!
Please dont’ stop the challenge, Jeanette!
That’s a beautiful shot. Great dof
Each flower photo is unique.
If you post this can I copy & paste? Please?
DON’T STOP!!! Beautiful tulip, imagine you’ll have an amazing series on flowers which you can sell prints of…
Now that winter is almost in full swing in Jo’burg and the veld is brown and the leaves are falling… what better pick-me-up than a spot of pink!
I took these photos of the gaura, that are still vaguely flowering, in my garden this evening.
PS.. hope you missed me yesterday… I did actually take photos, so I didn’t cheat on my 365, but they’re of a work function so I can’t blog about them.

very unique and fun!
Great picture and great editing. I need to get into that.
Working with added colour & textures evades me, time to google a tutorial 
Pretty !!
Oh, I’ve missed seeing you photos, Jeanette! I love, love, love this! I love the texture and the colour!
So refreshing and pretty! Awesome texture – I love your art pics! Wish mine looked like yours:)
[...] week I got a lot of requests asking me to explain how I did the pink flower photo with the textures. So, I’m going to attempt to do a simple tutorial explaining what I [...]
