Five Minutes with Poppies (or Ranunculus?) 1 – RegularRandom
Today was a gorgeous day where in Melbourne – 17 degrees, with beautiful warm sunshine. I slept late, I caught up on some YouTubers I’d been missing, then I took Miss Gidget to the park. Everyone was out and about with their puppies, enjoying the fabulous warmth. A quick stop at the bakery (you know what the next set of photos is going to be!), and then a slow drive to the pet store for some treats for G. The slow traffic was no problem with the windows down, the roof open, and the music playing.
Such a nice day.
I drove past a little market with flowers lining the front, and so I stopped and picked up two bunches of flowers for just $4.50 each!
It seems like an age since I spent time photographing flowers. It’s certainly been a while. As I’m sure you know, it’s one of my favourite things to do. So, here is a little five minute session – I moved between the two bunches during this shoot.
