Aquilegia Bud

A busy day outside for me, cleaning the block paving driveway! I started yesterday afternoon and finished late this afternoon. Removed all the moss and weeds from the joints using a wire brush and a knife (on long handles, I didn’t spend all the time on my knees).

I managed to set up this ‘invisible black background’ shot using the same technique I used the other day. Not so easy to manage distractions like leaves here though! Taken outside in bright sunlight, just using the flash to illuminate the flower bud

This looks rather splendid in large.
