Color challenge Sunday Purple lavender
Posting this for Colorchallenge purple Sunday- initiated by @kalemandra -
Took this in one of the Neighbour's garden the other evening
Lavender has to be one of my personal favorite flowers
Now I don't have a macro lens at the moment this was shot using my Sony A500 using the 24-240 lens and an extension tube a cheaper option until I can afford a macro lens
They can be tricky to use but are fun to play with
Stay cool and Steem on
Nice one! I like how the light is catching it. I tried growing lavender, but was not too successful.
Thanks Our garden is just a couple of bushed at the moment luckily some of the Neighbors have nice gardens :)
It grows like crazy in my garden. It just grew? I didn't plant it. You find it all over this part of England. It used to be a big crop for the farmers.
I bet it smalls lovely!Just yesterday my husband and I visited Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, near us in Florida and found a gift shop that sold everything you can think of that's made of lavender. Oh, it smelled nice in there! It reminded me of my grandmother's house!
It's too hot for it to really thrive here, but I will try again sometime.
They used to use it back in the old days in the wardrobes and clothing cupboards to keep everything smelling fresh. All you have to do is cut a few sprigs place them in the drawer and voila. Sweet lavender every time you go for your socks or unmentionables lol
My grandmother, and then my mother used to buy it from the gypsies who came door to door selling it. I have some lavender tea . It's pretty good!
Remember the minnows when you get to the top. :-)
Of course but you will be climbing as well :)
Swimming upstream! LOL!
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming lol
I don't mind hard work, so if that's what it takes, I'm in!
Genial, @tattoodjay Resteemed
Thanks so kind of you
Congrats to you...your level up to 52 ...how do you do that? Wow! I am happy for you
I am not sure to be honest two recent posts did well and somehow i jumped from 49 Yesterday morning through 50 and 51 to 52 I am at a loss as to how but not complaining
I can smell it from here!
:) I must admit it did smell so beautiful, was tempted to pick a couple of bits and bring it in, but since It wasnt my garden thought better of it
Nice! I love lavender, the smell is so soothing. Have you tried using a reversing ring instead? They tend to run between $10 - $20. What they do is allow you to put a lens on your camera backwards. Its a similar idea to looking the wrong way through binoculars, but with lenses it makes everything super close.
Its a very cheap way to do macro :)
Thanks and yes I have read about those but never got one, it is something I keep meaning to get and try :)
thanks for reminding me to pick one up
Beautiful, nice details in the focus
Thanks Kindly :)
Great lavender colour and nice depth of field photo. I always get mixed up with these hues? Mauve lavender even purple look so close in hue to me. This is defo lavender.
Yes I do agree I see blue , purple any color between them for me is a purply blue or a bluey purple Lol so I generally skip the indigo and purple challenge:)
Haha, you actually made me laugh. I got some weird looks from the misses lol
lol I have that effect :)
It's more beautiful
Thanks
The soft tone makes it more beautiful :)
