For the most part, I wish NZ wasn't part of the monarchy. We're on the other side of the world from England, and I think our country is big enough to stand on it's own, without relying on England to take care of us. But there are some days when I'm glad we still are, and this weekend is one of them. It's the Queen's birthday, so that means a 3 day weekend! I desperately needed this extra day. So, happy birthday your Majesty. :)

Bee Happy

I'm happy because I finally got an (mostly) infocus shot of a bee in flight! I'm also happy that tomorrow is Friday. Bring on the weekend. :)

Espresso, anyone?

Yet another butterfly photo. I've only got a couple of more decent ones, so there is an end in sight, I promise!

Happy Monday :)

Hooked on purple

A closeup of a princess flower. It has a rather intimidating hook like centre which I love. Happy perfect purple Saturday everyone!

Another photo of Gremin and William. These two sweet boys aren't mine - they belong to a friend. They're such lovely boys, who adore one another. :)

Yay, weekeend!

Saturday morning here, thank goodness! It's going to be a lazy weekend for me. Vegging out watching DVDs. Can't wait. :)

Reject

I was doing a cleanup of my photos, deleting files to make room on my computer, when I came across this in my "rejects" folder. I'm not quite sure why I thought this was a reject when first taken and viewed. I really love it now. Funny how things can look different on a second look.

Looks great viewed large on black.

Spread your wings and fly away

A few weeks ago when I was at the Hamilton Botanical Gardens, there was a beautiful white flower with a bright yellow centre. Unfortunately the light was getting low, and I didn't really get the photos I wanted.

I went back last week with plans to take more photos, but instead of the white flower in full bloom, I found this. I'm not sure why, but the petals had turned pink as they started to fall off. I think I prefer it this way.

Nito & Boo

I just realised I've never shown off Nito & Boo. Boo is on the left, Nito on the right. These sweet girls are sisters, and will be 2 in a couple of months. Since spaying all my girls, I've noticed they're living a lot longer, and have a lot less health problems.

I'm not a huge fan of this photo; it just seems quite busy, but I was so impressed by the amount of pollen this little guy had collected, I had to show him off.

Is anyone else having problems with viewing photos? For some reason, most of my contacts' newest photos aren't showing up for me. I'll try and visit everyone later on tonight. Hopefully by then Flickr will be behaving.

Edit: Problem solved. Seems it was my browser misbehaving, not Flickr. Restarting did the trick. Sorry for assuming the worst, Flickr!

Butterfly bokeh

Things have been so hectic the last few days (and now I'm sick, blech), I haven't had a chance to take any new photos, so it's yet another butterfly pic!

HBW everyone. :)

Taken at the butterfly enclosure in Thames. This is the only photo I managed to get of a butterfly in flight that wasn't a complete blur.

Unfortunately the enclosure was incredibly humid, and my lense kept fogging over, so the slight blurriness is due to that. Nature's vaseline. :P

Does anyone know what flower this is? Is it honeysuckle? I have a few butterfly photos with this particular flower. They were really drawn to it.

My favourite purple flower. :) This is an older photo...yet another example of how patient and tolerant Julius was when posing for photos, although he kinda let me know what he thought of this photoshoot!
