Practicing

The close photo with that elusive low aperture. Or is it high! Wide open anyway. Just a few lavender stalks have survived an almighty pruning with a hedge cutter!
Thankful for:
Several outside doors. Our well used backdoor with an unusual locking build has locked us out now. We can't get in or out. However the Company is on our side and has suggested some ideas.
Super! Well done, the light and background blur is beautiful

A beautiful image. Oh my, locked in (or locked out), I hope that problem is solved soon. We have 4 doors to the outside, but use our back door the most.

Beautiful! ...Hope your back door is fixed soon.. I would not like to be without my back door

What is lavender doing flowering in your garden in the middle of winter? Just amazing!
Panic stations...you do not want to be locked out in winter.. we have a spare key hidden outside somewhere....everyone know where it is though! 🤣🤣

@juliedduncan Thats exactly what I aim for, thanks Julie!

@happypat We seem to have lavender flowering all year round provided we give it a good prune now and then. These special doors have 6 built in locks and one has got stuck in the out position, Pat. I think we have to take the whole door off!

@ninaganci Apparently works better with as much zoom as you can!
July 24th, 2020  
This is so pretty.

Beautifully done MM A perfect shot and great to see it on thePP

@grammyn Thanks Katy- good to see that! I'll have to see if I can do this with my iPhone!
July 25th, 2020  
Nice
July 25th, 2020  
Beautiful capture.
July 25th, 2020  
Methinks you need a different lock MM, just as well you have other escape routes. Love your lavender, I'm darned if I can get closeups right, very irritating.

@maggiemae Six locks? How come?
July 25th, 2020  
@golftragic We have German designed windows and doors, Marnie. We might have to wait till someone can come down and fix it for us - not Germany, thank goodness but merely Christchurch!
July 25th, 2020  
@maggiemae Holy moley. Sounds complicated.
July 25th, 2020  
@golftragic I feel totally discombobulated!
July 25th, 2020  
Lovely dof and background.
July 25th, 2020  
your two lavender images have very different qualities, just love the details in those individual petals in the foreground here.
