SPS week 1 - WOW what a challenge - still in my PJs and had to stand with the camera in front of me. Took about 40 pics before I got a half decent one!!! Well I don't expect to look better as the years go on but hopefully my self portrait skills will improve. Thanks for the challenge!!!
Woo Hoo it's the weekend!!!
Thought I would show you today my "sort of first pics" taken yesterday, with the new camera, this time my garden. At the moment I am just pointing and clicking (as I did with my 'old' camera) as I have not studied the manual yet LOL. I still need lots of practice as wll see.
(Have to remind you that Cape Town is in mid-winter, so mostly my garden is JUST GREEN. In a few weeks the clivia will be out and they are GLORIOUS. )
This is an old wheelbarrow and watering can, which in the spring and summer I fill with pots of colour!

And this is just some perspective on where yesterday's stone fits into my garden:

Anything I cannot use in the house goes into the garden or the garbage bin, so have used these pots in a small patch that needed some colour!!! They make excellent little birdbaths for the little birds.
