If there had been any doubt about the decision for knee surgery

This morning I saw sparkling water drops on some pretty purple blossoms, and I noticed both my small Geraldton Wax seedlings (still called seedlings until they reach 1" across the base) were in danger of being swamped by weeds.

I pushed the camera out of the way, pulled the weeds out about 2ft diameter around them both, making sure to not shake off the morning water droplets.  I then proceeded to take macro photos of the blossoms.  I stood up from my squat, and it was all I could do to hobble back into the house.

I know, I know... we are supposed to suffer for our art, but dayam, my knee was killing me! Nope, no doubt now.

Some Macro Photography

Wing brought us up to Hyde Park to do some macro photography. I brought my extension rings so I could get some really up close images.










Over all, quite pleased with the results. Next time, I will bring a monopod for a bit fewer bungles. The slightest movement by me would end up with an out of focus image.
