Macros – despite Force 10 gales at Roma St Parklands!

[Dennis]

Hello,

We visited Roma Street Parklands at the weekend and despite the best efforts of the blustery SW winds, managed to grab a few macro shots. These were only made possible through the assistance of my lovely wife, who gripped the blooms to steady their swaying heads from their crazy, wind driven gyrations.:)

It was too cold for the many resident Eastern Water Dragons to even bother making an appearance.

Thanks for looking!

Dennis

Thanks for looking and leaving those nice comments – I appreciate them.

I watched the Uranus and Neptune spaceflight program last night and if the Brisbane skies hold up, I think the simulated trip might have just been the stimulation I need to get out and image these outer gas giants once more, although I note that it will be around 3:00am or 4:00am before they are suitably positioned right now.

Cheers

Dennis

PS – thanks for the Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog ID Chris!
