The cacti flowers were blooming by the driveway and as they were only about 3 inches high I had to get down low for this photo. I picked myself up, dusted the gravel off my clothes and tried to look normal. There was a police car parked opposite (where the party was) and I was nervous that they would think there was a body on the driveway!
Three good things;
1. Overwhelmed at the response to a leaf shot - thanks to all who commented and fav'd!
2. A visit to the library - decided I wanted a real book with a cover and proper pages instead of my computer books.
3. Concocted a recipe for a vegetable salad with sweet and sour dressing.
Oh you are funny....a body indeed, that would put the cat among the pigeons! Police visit looks promising....did you complain! You cacti shot wa worth all the lying in the drive! Harry sorted the problem out easily but as I said to the plumber after when I rang him, the hardest part was the bending down to actually do the job!
Oooh !!! Maggiemae , you make me laugh- I can visualise you prostrate on the ground and trying to take a photo -- but then you are more nimble than I am !! A lovely display of succulents however you captured the shot !
@happypat I don't know why the police car was there - the party faded by 10pm but had gone on for 11 hours! Perhaps someone got locked in the lavatory!
Now I would have liked to have had ashot of you taking this photo! It must have amused the police. It is a good shot. I agree about the books. I need to hold them in my hand to really enjoy them.
My method has always been to just put the camera down. If I put me down, the police probably would be carting off a body as I'd not be able to get back up I'm sure! Great pov!
Beautifully done, Maggiemae. Love the focus in this shot. My joke of yesterday was about Paddy, the Irishman, but I wanted to give the poor guy a rest so I made it on myself.
