    Lantana – a noxious weed where I come from, but a pretty and valued addition to the garden down here. x desleyjane

    These red roses were so red that they almost looked black in certain light. Actually some of the petals are very, very dark. It’s such a rich, blood-red colour. x desleyjane

    Is this that funny little flower that’s meant to look a bit rude? It was difficult to photograph – about knee height, growing through a fence, but I just adore that little hairy set of buds! How sweet?! And the flowers are quite cute too. Tiny, as usual! Sore shoulder, as usual. Olympus macro, as…

    This very red flower demanded some attention. It is so vibrant, quite small, but definitely catches the eye. Of course, I don’t know what it is, I’m sure you can help me!   x desleyjane

    I tend to shoot quite quickly when I’m walking, and this time was no exception since I had Gidget with me and she is always on the move. So for some flowers, I only took one shot. Here is my little collection of random flowers where I didn’t get more than one shot. I love…

    These purple and white flowering shrubs were quite common in the gardens where I walked. The light was quite lovely, but there was also a light breeze waving the little branches about.   x desleyjane

    Just a quick note before this post to say that my FoBE posts are all scheduled in advance, most written in early October.  x This is from my second trip around Brunswick East. When I walk Gidget in the evening, I go across the road and down the street and back up again. In the…
