My original posts for today and yesterday have disappeared... Blogger suddenly started duplicating posts, so I deleted some of the duplicated drafts - and then the originals disappeared too! Along with everyone's comments. Grr. Sorry to those who took time to comment.
I can't remember what I said about this, except that I like the wonderful purple cone-like blooms. With their glowing red tips, they look like little candles on a Christmas tree. I have no idea what species the tree is. RHS Harlow Carr has some exotic and interesting cultivars.
I was pleased with how my new lens performed on this one too. It's good to be able to play around a bit more with depth of field though I have yet to perfect the art.
Came out nicely this photo. Sorry to hear about your blogger problems. A new lens, that is always fun, A prime lens perhaps?
ReplyDeleteGood contrast between the colours, green and purple.
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful plant. They almost do not look real. I am glad you persevered. I have been having trouble also.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny - I did comment and how strange that the post disappeared ... I'd hate that to happen to mine!
ReplyDeleteLove the Christmas tree look - aren't those cones fun ...
Good luck with Blogger from now on .. cheers Hilary
Can't say that I have ever seen a tree like that one.
ReplyDeleteI read about many people having Blogger problems these days. So far I have been spared except for just one day when I couldn't load a photo with Safari so I shifted over to Chrome and got it done. I had not heard about Blogger eating whole posts before.
