My photo for the day. Unfortunately, I tend to have a lot of weeds in my garden, but you know what they make really interesting photos. I was really pleased with the detail in this photo using my intelligent zoom. When I was young I used to think the seeds were fairies – hence the title.  Just a little whimsical tonight I think.
Tomorrow I will post some of my latest scrapbook pages from my son’s album after I have uploaded them to my Memory Manager. I am now up to James at 4 months old so I am making good progress and it is only April. With the weather turning cooler here it is a great time to stay inside and scrapbook both digitally and traditionally.
Have a great day and Happy Crafting.

My photo of the day. I had just come home after getting some photos printed for a camera club competition when I saw this monarch butterfly outside. I rushed inside to get my camera and managed to take a series of photos with this one being the best. I love the majesty and fragility of these butterflies. So I was back at the shop to print this one of for the camera club competition. This is my first entry so I do not know how I will go. Will keep you posted.
Have a great day

My photo of the day. This year I have planted some gazinias in my garden and they have been amazing with such bright colours. This shot is my first attempt at a close macro and I am really pleased with the photo. I am so thrilled with what I can achieve with my camera. This is another photo that will remind me of summer in the midst of winter. I hope you take pleasure in this photo too.
Have a good day and happy snapping

One of my photos of the day. We finally got some rain today after having no rain since the 4th February. It was lovely going out in the rain and taking photographs.

I just can’t resist taking photos of roses and this rose was really high and the late evening sun was just touching this rose to create lovely patterns of light and dark.
