Back to flowers again

I promise I will at least try to take some of people and landscapes next week as I gallivant around the West Country and Wales.

For now, the garden is the studio - I've been trying to capture a passionflower bloom for quite some time and this was progress.

Ooh and a friend has lent me her tripod today, although I haven't yet worked out how to adjust it, so this evening's shooting was still by hand - blooming heavy this macro lens. My fellow trainees have both been very generous in lens and tripod loans respectively.
