New Year's Eve bouquet from the garden

Just a short post to wish everyone

Happy New Year and all the best for 2010

We'll be spending the evening at a friend's house, and instead of buying flowers I decided to go out to the garden and see what I could find. By combining seed heads, the tassels of the tiger grass, and some leaves that are still green in this mild winter, here's what I produced (click to enlarge).




Here's another photo. I'm still experimenting with photographing flowers indoors, and any tips would be appreciated!



All the best for 2010 - Barbara

  9. Barbara, thanks for your comment! I use Picasa software. It's free to download and easy to use. Try it and if you have any question, please write me. Have a great ski vacation (I am jealous! We'll go ski in February). The creature from your last post could be a squirrel, it's my guess.
