In the spirit of continuing to be more creative every day, I attached the macro lens to my camera yesterday and headed out into the backyard.
The
backyard at our old place had two of the most magnificent fruit trees
that I've ever seen, and it was a joy to take photos of them as the
seasons were reflected in their physical change. But the rest of the
yard did pale in comparison, just being a pad of grass with a
clothesline dotted off to the side like a rather skeletal mushroom.
Now, in our new place, the backyard is a puzzle of green. When we first
moved in, the very last part of the yard was filled with old dead
branches a neighbor had cheerfully cut off her trees and chucked over
the side of the fence (Noice one!). Luckily for us the Green Waste collection was not far off. The slope above the retaining wall
was a sea of bright green weeds, which were eventually raked out by The
Mister and myself some weeks later.
But the flowers. They were everywhere. And we had a herb garden. And there was just so much potential!
Our
pet rabbit Jojo was unequivocally a fan. After fretting that he might
not move well, he had adapted within a week. (It took him a little
longer to get used to the hardwood floors inside, having always been a
carpet-raised bunny.)
So. Yesterday I tried to
capture some of the beauty of the garden on a small scale. As is usual
when I use the macro lens, some photos I thought beautifully in focus
turned out to be blurry and just off once uploaded to the computer. But
some have come out well.
I can't wait for spring...to start planting....
