I love your photos, Batchlock! Especially the second one! It looks so 'real' as some character photographers might have put it.

Such an adorable moment!

Thank you! I have lots of photos with adorable moments with them together, but I think this one is the best! It was the first time my grandmother held her :')

This photo is marvelous Batchlook. Your grandmother looks so happy and proud and this little one looks like singing "We are the champions"

These garden walks with my mother has seem to become a welcome distraction when I'm at her place... we actually get along when I take the pictures and ask her what the flowers are called etc... awh!

These two are a lizzard we disturbed, I ended up spending an entire hour trying to get it out of the bushes so I could take a picture of it... I ended up waving a leaf and calling it Smaug and telling it I would give it all the gold and stones in the world it wanted, even a hobbit it could play with *cough* that technique actually worked! It came all the way over to me and looked really interested in my offer!

Funny pink flower

Blue flowers...

Beautiful pink and golden sunset seen from my mother's front garden

Cherries

Wet, pink peony

Oh phantom, those are really beautiful, they convey the beauty of nature and the peace it can bring so well! Can greatly imagine that this is a place where you and mum get along. The photos look like out of a professional book.

Awh thank you MrsHouse, they are just me horsing about with my smartphone though...

It's funny, my mother and I never get along, but once we start talking about flowers it's a whole other world... I'm enjoying it while it lasts... she's constantly giving me updates on what new flowers have bloomed for me to take pictures of next time I visit!

I am intending to try to paint the butterfly, the details in that picture surprised me a bit.

Just spotted a few older under water pictures on an USB-Stick taken 6 years ago at the Maldives. The quality isn't that good but nevertheless I like them.

Those are spectacular! And what an experience it must have been taking them! Wow!

Yes, it was very exciting and I only snorkeled. Spotting manta rays was the highlight, though I couldn't get that near.
Next time I want to get nearer and a whale shark would be fantastic.

Loving the sea life!

Lovely pics. Very impressive.

Oh wow, gently, that last one especially... did you pretend to be a goldfish in order to get so close?

**Posted by gently69** June 18, 2014 5:08 pm

Thank you all.
Solar, now that you are mentioning it ...
Reminds me of ... something.

**Posted by SolarSystem** June 18, 2014 5:25 pm

Does it? Then you can't be a goldfish after all.

**Posted by gently69** June 18, 2014 5:36 pm

Solar please ...

This is no master shot... but I do like the motive. Lol. This is my dog Micky! He is so difficult to take pictures of as he usually runs away...

**Posted by besleybean** June 22, 2014 2:27 pm

He is gorgeous.

**Posted by gently69** June 22, 2014 5:53 pm

Wow, that's really good! The motive is great.
