Flowers in a friend's garden
Over recent days I’ve shared some photos of flowering Australian plants. These photos were all taken in the native garden of friends of ours who live near Adelaide in the Mt Lofty Ranges. They enjoy collecting and planting native Australian plants as do we. Many of the plants found in Australia are very colourful, as illustrated by the photos I have shared in this blog.

Yesterday I shared with you some photos of beautiful Australian plants. These photos were taken in a friend’s garden in the Adelaide Hills. Like us, our friends enjoy looking at and growing plants found here in Australia. From this small selection you can see that our plants have very attractive flowers.
To view enlarged images of each photo, click on the photo. I’ll share more photos in a few days.

Last year we went to visit friends of ours in the Adelaide Hills. Like us, they are keen growers of Australian native plants. We had a lovely lunch with them before heading out into the garden to look at their collection of plants. While my wife collected cuttings (so she could propagate them) I was busy with my camera. I’ll show some of the photos taken over the next few days.

Botanic gardens are excellent places to hone your photography skills. I particularly enjoy taking photos of the many birds that tend to congregate in such places. But birds have a habit of flying off just as you focus on them!
Plants and flowers are different. They tend to stay in the same place making photography much easier – except when they are swaying in the breeze. When that happens I usually ask my wife to hold the branch still, trying not to get her hand or arm in the shot.
How about checking out my blog about birds?

Over the last few days I have shared some photos I took last spring on a visit to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. It was a delightful sunny day with many trees and other plants in flower. We had just come from a food fair so we really needed the walk before heading off on the journey home to Murray Bridge.
I managed to take quite a nice little collection of photo despite the batteries on my camera going flat – and the spare batteries I had with me were also flat! Never mind – I did get some.
