but then again, aren't we all right now...!
Yesterday, we made a quick trip to the shops to pick up some essential groceries and also stopped at the hardware to pick up some potting mix and a couple of other things to keep me occupied over the coming weeks.
Funny thing is, I had one of those moments where I was passing some outdoor plants and thought, 'oh, wonder if they have any fuchsia left' - despite it being several weeks since I'd seen them for sale.
As I turned to face the plants, my ring of wealth shines more brightly! and a golden loot-beam rises from the pot'
All jokes aside... would you believe? I literally turned around and immediately laid eyes on one single, solitary Fuchsia... sitting all by it's self, amongst the Azaleas.
Haha, meant to be, I thought... and picked up the one pot that had obviously been placed there >>> just for me. LOL
At first glance, I couldn't see a price 'sticker' anywhere and instead found it hand-written on the side of the pot in silver marker. This made me feel that it was probably was one of the last one's left - which in turn, made me feel extremely lucky for finding it... not only due to the synchronicity of the moment but also, because Fuchsia are one of my favourite flowers.
Nevertheless, it was a very fitting 'comfort' buy that will help keep me sane over the next little while.
So..! somewhere between the shelf and the register... I managed to snap one of the branches and of course, it just happened to be 'the one branch' that was growing 'the only flower' ~rolls eyes, fml~
Rather than discarding the branch, I decided to make the best out of a bad situation and seized the opportunity to capture the flower's beauty before it faded.... Soon after arriving home, I found an area with loads of natural sunlight, (even a tiny, pin-hole spotlight!) where I could set up with my camera.
My focus for the exercise was to 'practice using different camera angles to achieve interesting results in composition'.
So, I'm not sure whether I managed to achieve 'interesting results' in my composition, but I did have lots of fun trying out different angles, looking for interesting shapes, getting some things right but as always, learning from my mistakes.
Until next time... xxx
