Close ups.

Your pictures are lovely Cinderella, who needs a fancy camera when they come out like yours! I love the Euphorbia the colours are so intense in the sunshine, and That Clematis is just beautiful, I m looking for a few to cover the new bare fence [hate bare fences] so I have taken the name of yours;0)

They are lovely Cinders :o)

Thanks Carole. I agree the Euphorbia is lovely. I moved it last autumn as it was in the wrong place really, so I was really pleased when it took on again so well. I only grew it from a very small slip. Think I shall have to try some more. The Clematis has done really well too.

Thanks Annella.

Lovely....the Euphorbia is my favourite. never seen one so pretty!

great pictures.

Karen it almost glows doesn't it.

Thank you Taz

All beautiful Cinders. You have some lovely stuff there. I agree with Karen about the euphorbia. I must look out for that one.

Thank you Poppy.

Lovely pics Cinders, I do love that euphorbia Ascot, very nice :-)

I love that bright yellow flower....is it a low growing Sedum of some sort.great flowers!

Thanks you Surreylad, its great isn't it.

Paul it is a low growing Sedum Spathulifolium Purpurea. Quite a mouthful for a small plant !

Beautiful photos, who needs a fancy camera!

Thanks Louisa, I agree, its good enough for me.

Thanks Cinders!

Excellent photos ... and I see what you mean about Clematis 'Arctic Queen' looking similar to C. 'Guernsey Cream' ... :o)

If you continue to take pics like these "you will go to the ball"
(as the official picture taker).

ANYONE LOST A SLIPPER,,,,?

Great pictures.

Beautiful pictures! If this is what you can do without a fancy camera, just think what you could do if you had one!

Shirley I wondered if you would think that about Arctic Queen. It has so many flowers on it at the moment but they have climbed so high I can't get a decent picture.

Dungy --- Oooh yes, I lost my slipper . Have you found one ? Thanks for the funny comments.

You are too kind Waddy !!

Great pictures - lots of pizzazz! I specially liked the pansies but closeups really do bring out the best in flowers don't they?

Thanks Stera, I like the pansies too.

Your closeups are brilliant :o)

I love plant close-ups, intricate delicate details revealed. great pix

Great close-ups Cinderella..lovely flowers

Thanks all, I appreciate your comments.

All lovely Cinderella :o)

I love my camera but to be truthful its wasted on me really as I don't know what half the settings even mean, I play with it sometimes just to see what happens, trouble is I then forget which setting I used anyway, the beauties of digital means one can erase the rubbish.
They are lovely photo's Cinders, my favs have to be the violas, I love their happy smiling faces and theres so many to choose from....

Lovely photos Cinders, our Euphorbia Ascot Rainbow has had a bit of a chop back this year, it was getting very untidy, still a big favourite of mine though....

Thanks Neellan.

Lincs I know what you mean, I do the same with mine. I know the macro setting, and bringing the picture closer etc, but as for anything else ....... I also have a soft spot for the viola's, have just sown some more seed for the autumn.

DD thanks. I think I might chop my euphorbia back this year, now that it has got established in its new home. You do have to be tough with some of these plants and show them whose boss. When is your open day ?

Great close ups, Cinders, I love to see the detail of photos like these. That euphorbia is lovely, on my wish list but goodness knows where I would put it :)

Lovely photos Cinders, especially like the euphorbia and sedum

Thank you Gee. You need quite a bit of space for a euphorbia, as it can get rather a large clump.

Thank you Dirtyred. The sedum is a very bright yellow isn't it.

Lovely pics, I like to do close up pics of the flowers...well done on yours :))

Thanks Holly, I have just been out trying to do a few more close ups as the light is quite good at the moment and without sun. Will have to see if they are good enough to put on here.

Oh naughty Cinders ............ I want them all especially the euphorbia and the low growing sedium, you`ve shown them off to perfection.

Oh my, praise indeed. Thank you Stroller.

Lovely.

beautiful!

Thank you very much Fractal, and Floralhead.

Good luck hope you got some more close ups....

stunning photos Cinders. simple cameras are often the best as they are not overly complicated.

cant decide which one I like the best. they are all wonderful.

You must just have a gift, Cinders; your photos are great. That euphorbia is a beauty. I also like the sedum and viola.

Thank you Sbg. I couldn't handle a complicated camera. its got to be simple for me these days.

Thanks Tuesday, ha ha, perhaps I am a natural then !! I agree the Euphorbia is lovely, and the viola's have such lovely faces don't they.
