Stand out by maggiemae

Stand out

I think this is a primula and one of the plants decided to go ahead!

It was in the morning and the sun came out briefly to shine here for this particular light setting. The sun went back in after this and it was positively freezing outside!

Three Good Things:
1, Jumping on the trampoline as a loosening up exercise, I noticed a spider on with me! Boy, could he do some amazing things - somersaults, back flips, really high bounces! He clung on with great determination though!
2. Got a balance sheet for one Company right for tax purposes.
3. Looking forward to toast with lashings of butter and special marmalade made from lemon, lime and ginger tomorrow!
lovely AND colorful

Wow trampolining.....you & the spider must have had fun! This flower looks as though it was staged like this....sort of fountain design! Beautiful colours ...a real zing!
I love toast & of course it has to be butter!

I had to sit down on the deck to take this, Pat and it was so cold that I had to get up again by the all fours method!

@doodlerdeb They are all individual primula plants in a pot, Debra. Just one decided to grow!
July 17th, 2015  
I think it's a primula too - lovely shot. Well done on the trampolining. I used to go to a trampolining class and loved it!

Beautiful flower. Lovely light and POV. Hope you copied that spiders moves :)

@shirleybankfarm Hells teeth, I could never do that! Once upon a time when I was a heap younger, I did but now my bounces are very sedate!

That brief sunstrike was well used here, Marg. Lovely candelabra style primula.

Terrific shot. To tease you a bit, I am just back home from a lovely swim in my favourite bay.
July 18th, 2015  
@sangwann Ii can't imagine - its so cold here and snowing in the nearby mountains!
July 18th, 2015  
Such great light! Trampolining with a spider? Now there's a new twist on the exercise ;)
July 18th, 2015  
Very pretty capture of these lovely flowers.
July 18th, 2015  
How accommodating of the sun to highlight these flowers so beautifully! What rich vibrant colors you have captured!

Your marmalade sounds very good! Is it homemade or store-bought ?
July 18th, 2015  
Beautiful and very unique arange, the light is so lovely and warm

Lovely shot.
July 18th, 2015  
Beautiful capture!
July 18th, 2015  
@grammyn Bought at the Farmer's Market, Katy! The lady there makes it all by hand though. Not enough rind in it for our liking!
July 18th, 2015  
These are so lovely. I think this kind is called a fairy primrose. Lovely light and focus.
July 18th, 2015  
@maggiemae So homemade AND store bought! ;~}
July 19th, 2015

Beautiful colours. That marmalade sounds delicious.

I love the colors of these flowers. Such a beautiful photo. Really, you were on a trampoline and with a spider? You make me laugh though I thought you would be off the trampoline as soon as you could be. Sounds like yummy food to eat. So is this tax you are working on like tax stuff we do here? Hubby found an apple at the store yesterday that was from New Zealand so he bought it. I put it in the refrigerator to get it cold today then to take photos and try it tomorrow. Tonight he got home from work and asked if I wanted to try a piece of the apple. He had already cut it up. Oh, well and now the label is somewhere in our garage can. Maybe another apple will pop up at our grocer from New Zealand. FAV for your photo.

@darsphotos Shame about the apple, Darlene - look out for others - there are many and they are all so good - the juice runs down your chin!
July 21st, 2015  
@maggiemae I was picking out some apples for myself and he came with an apple from New Zealand. I asked where he got it and it was just among other apples. Like the last time we got a New Zealand apple. I will be watching for more from our store. Dan found the name by googling apples from New Zealand as I was on my computer too and found a photo and will post it to Facebook for you to see. I cannot bite into apples but love to peel and cut them up and eat them with my lunch every day. We know so many people where we shop so will ask next time if they know how they get in the mix or how to find them among all the others.
July 21st, 2015  
@darsphotos I can't bite into an apple too, Darlene but like them cut up in a salad or cooked.
July 21st, 2015  
@maggiemae I posted the photo to my Facebook page. Do not know how to post to your page. I lost my front tooth when I was 7 years old so have not bitten into anything hard since then. A girl jumped on my back while we were outside playing and I hit the concrete face down. Just had gotten my front tooth at 7. I should do a salad. Sounds good and love cooked apples too. Yum!

What a very pretty flower. Great shot, Maggie. Ummm... a spider on you is a good thing? I would have flipped out and panicked and probably have bounced right off the trampoline! Fav
