The grass at the end of the service lane is so high that the rosellas can harvest the wild oats whilst perched on the fence.

This morning.

These purple flowers took ages to flower from buds. Talk about impatient!

I can’t remember the name and, after rooting around underneath the two lanky bushes, I couldn’t find the plastic tags. I know I took photos of the labels but … my PC files are like my house.

Anyway, the Small White butterflies love the thistle-like blooms.

Thanks for looking.

I snuck up on a heron this morning but didn’t get any beaut photos. This is the one I liked the best, but it was full of noise. I tried out the ‘artistic’ options in GIMP2 and settled on this cartoon filter. It turned the graininess into an advantage.

Google told me grain is usually due to the wrong ISO settings or aperture size in low light.

I purchased a photography class years ago, and paid for the upgrade when it went to the next version (at Udemy) but haven’t started it. And, of course, I have my ‘Nikon for Dummies’ book. I still haven’t learned anything. Using the auto function is just too easy.

Thanks for looking.
