Memories of a May Garden
This photo was one of the first taken
with a new
Sigma Apo Macro lens.
It took some time to manage the new controls
and have less blur in the final images.
However, for some reason, this was a very
successful photo with viewers and
I continue to wonder why.

Herbaceous Border
A well maintained border is a joy.
Walking in the garden becomes
a botanising expedition for all.

Online Identity...
... or how to present photos efficiently
on the Web.
A free Flickr account is usually adequate
for the average punter.
At any time, 200 photos are available for viewing
and comments may be made by anybody who is signed
in to the system.
It's a sociable and educational site.
Flickr groups are themed.
Queries by puzzled photographers are
usually answered quickly and with insight.

At the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin, Ireland
Somehow the light in Spring, under glass,
has a quality that encourages good Bokeh.
With a Song in My Heart
I wrote this into the Short Sights Blog by mistake.
Felix culpa, perhaps.
Now I don't have to worry about finding something to say
for today's photography slot.
Perhaps it's worth repeating?
Ever so often I meet someone who thinks that blogging is a
complete hoot.
"So you have a blog?"
Their eyes twinkle with mischief.
"What's it about?"
A quick explanation...
photos... the odd recipe...
really talking about blogging is
not my cup of tea.
Worry usually sets in on my interlocutor's brow.
"You mean you don't TELL ALL???
You have to wear your heart on your sleeve
if you want people to read what you write.
That's NO USE!!!!"
Frankly telling all my personal business to absolute
strangers would never dawn on me.
I assume that they would find the trivia of
everyday life as mundane as I do.
My Facebook Friends keep moving about at a
ferocious rate and update everybody on where
they are at any blessed moment of the day or night.
Very odd...

Looking Forward to Spring Colour
Now is the time to plant bulbs, preferably in clumps
and informal groupings.
These tulips were found in a woodland setting
in Powerscourt Gardens a few years ago.
