Boys helping Mama, with Marigolds at the market

 

 

Nice one RW

I like the delicacy and the yellow-green monochrome touch ("camaïeu" in french but don't know how to translate in english...). The OOF is nice as well...

Thats that £8 Tamron 80-210/4 103A, it must be the most under rated lens ever

The like button seems to working again this morning (most of the time!) 

 

There's a fly on me!

A "cheap" gem as it seems...

 

I noticed the nice "classic lens" OOF background: just gently fading...

 

 

This little gem 17cm across came out this morning.

Nice Mike, ^ That's from Indonesia (originally)  I believe.... we have it's cousin which is not so large that grows wild on Samui and Koh Phangan....perhaps other areas of Thailand too,  very rare to actually see it blooming, but I have posted it once or twice over the years. 

Flower is the white part in centre, not quite open, it was the foliage that caught my eye on this though.

 

Isaan Plant, perhaps you Isaan guys know it?

Honestly, that Eden Project is a load of . . . . 

surprised to hear you say that....  MJ, not been so cannot comment!

 

Here's the Samui version.... so long since I posted it, few would remember!

 

 

The finder of the flower, which by the way stinks, and only lasts a few days

 

Growing in the wild it looks like this after it blooms! 

 

Flower from Eden in Thailand

Shaggy have you had to mess with the reds in that?

 

Not that theres anything wrong with them, just my camera often makes reds too saturated, I always have to change colour space, to one more suitable.

Is that you coming out of the closet? 

 

No it looks alright, I just wondered.

Shaggy usually manages to get good colours one his red roses... actually it does not too bad to me on my Mac air, but it will probably look better on my bigger screen... in darker room light, rather than sitting on my porch with indirect sunlight!

 

Here is a native Siam tulip, but growing in my garden on Samui!

 

 

I just realized I used an image from Archives and not directly from google plus....

 

 

False azalea..

 

Canna lily flower very close up !  I got out with my Macro lens today, need more practice! 

 

Fallen from grace
