Good morning ,
While the wife was doing something at work i decided to take the camera and walk arround the area a bit to see if there was something for sharing.
I brought my Sony A7II + Minolta MC Tele Rokkor 135mm 2.8 and in the bag i also had the Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm 1.7 and the Minolta MC W.Rokkor-SG 28mm 3.5, i just love the old manual focus lenses.
The first flower i came across was this poppy
Physocarpus. 'Diabolo' was flowering and looked very nice
Physocarpus. 'Diabolo'
I wasn't able to take pictures of the area without including patients of the place and out of respect for those people i decided to focus on other things instead.
There was a pond in the middle of this garden with a bridge and something that was making a lot of noise, can you spot it ?
Here let me help you max cropped this is the best i could do with the 135mm lens , will try again later this week with the Sigma 150-500mm lens .
i have no idea what kind of frog it is but it didn't trust me ...
and jumped away
and before i knew it , it was dissapered between the flowering water lillies
as i moved along the path i spotted this tree trunk coverd with mushrooms
No kids arround to play today even though the weather is great, they are probably still at school.
The grass definitly needs some rain , it has been dry for a long time now.
on the other side of the road i spotted this flowering tea rose.
A little further there was this dark beauty flowering
Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple' smoke tree in dutch they call it "Pruikenboom" if you would translate that to English it would say Wigs tree.
Some wild Daisy flowers Leucanthemum
Then i walked past this house with a beautiful front garden filled with
Persicaria bistorta or Polygonum bistorta the Dutch name is Adderwortel and the English call it Snakeroot .
more wild Daisy flowers Leucanthemum and even some catnip
i had to cross the street again to be able to get a wider shot with 135mm lens
then i spotted this flowering Rhodondendron on the other side of a hedge.
Luckely i had the 135mm lens still on the camera to capture this.
and sometimes you need to look up instead of forward to spot nice things
The sunlight shinning on these Horse chestnut leaves.
Moving forward again towards the car i saw this tinny house,
Manny people on the bike today with the nice weather
time to get out of the sun and in to the shade taken with mobile phone ;)
And this big old horse chestnut tree has plenty of shade
Back to the camera
and if you look up you see all kind of things , even a little bit of blue sky .
Time to change the lens to the 28mm one
that is part of the road i walked past
another lens Switch this time we go for the 50 mm
Looking upwards one more time
And then the sun was hiding behind the clouds and temperature was dropping fast , went back to the car waited on the wife to get ready to go home again.
The cat was happy the we were home again so that she could enjoy the sun again on the balcony.
That is all for my Wednesday walk , i hope you liked the photos and story until next time .
