Random Photos - Photo Practice

It's time for another round of random photos, without any connections between them, which meant to be a photo practice.

I saw these tiny rose buds in a part at the beginning of the month and I thought It would be great to take some macro photos.

Macro photos can be cool as you can capture the smallest details, but can also be disappointing and that's what happened to me too. I took two shots and the third one was a huge slap on my face, when I looked at the photo.

Poor roses were full of aphids. These were so small, you could not notice from a distance, but the camera never lies.

Then I saw this little daisy. These are tiny little flowers, so I used the macro lens on these too and look, there are pests on them too 🙁. This was private property, so I don't understand how can they just let these poor flowers suffer.

I was happy to see these little buds, they were so cute.

This orange lily is from our garden and it's a real beauty.

I'm a huge fan of orange, so obviously I like these a lot.

This should be another quiz for you, let's see if you can figure out what it is, but I don't want to stress you. This is the bud of the yukka flower. The flowers are white and are like bells. This photo was taken two weeks ago. Most likely next week I'm going to find them open already, or at least I hope so.

This is the nigella flower. Some years ago we had a lot in the front yard. The next day we did not want nigella and opted for something else, but mother nature has her own way and even without sowing any seeds, we got nigella everywhere. Turned out nigella is worse than weeds. It's invasive and you can hardly get rid of it. After so many years, here it is, still growing.

Kind of similar to Datura, or devil's trumpets as the latter is invasive as well, you can hardly get rid of these two. My dad got angry with me after the nigella episode. He said i brought two types of seeds and both are like pests 😂. He said he will never allow me to bring any flower seeds 🤣. Yeah right!

Enough with the flowers for now, let's focus on something else.

This is a medieval church door, that would look amazing, if it wasn't for the modern era updates. The alarm system kind of ruins its beauty, but I can't remove it as that would mean serious jail time and I'm not ready to commit that act. Will never be by the way :D

I should let you figure out what kind of bud this is, but I'm not that cruel so I'm going to reveal the big secret. It's the bud of the onion. Have you ever seen one?

Yeah, my wood obsession. I took a photo of a beam as I found this part interesting. Most likely there was a branch there and left a mark.

Raspberry leaves, with the beams in the background.

This is it for today and I hope you can pick one you like.
