Hi everyone,
Slowly, slowly catching up on so much image taking in the last few months that this seems to have been an age ago when I did this. My wife and daughter-in-law had a 'behind the scenes' session at Kew Gardens in July and, as 'the taxi driver' I got to spend a while wandering round, amusing myself taking pictures of things that caught my eye. A hot and sunny day meant 'light travel' (sort of...) so all I took was the a77ii and the Sony 135/1.8 ZA lens to see what I could manage with it (it almost lives on the a77ii at the moment!). I hope you like what I captured: 1. Bark Texture ![]() 2. The Palm House ![]() 3. Tulip Tree Bloom ![]() 4. Alium Head ![]() 5. Between Calls ![]() 6. Two Sides Of The Iris Cycle ![]() 7. Bloom and Seed Head ![]() 8. Buding ![]() 9. Waymarker ![]() 10. The Hive ![]() 11. Incoming ![]() 12. The Foliage Wall ![]() 13. "Me and my Mate" ![]() 14. One Amongst Many ![]() I don't really apologise for the number of allium images as they are one of my favourite flowers, but this year was also a very good year for them (at Kew at least!) so I hope you don't mind the indulgence. Comments most definitely welcomed and thanks for looking. Best regards, Neil |

Gorgeous, diverse and inspiring set, Neil!
I like the Aliums very much (I think #14 is my favorite among them). #1 and #12 - a unique take! - are my other favorites in this excellent series! TFS! |
