Midweek Moment #13
This week, Monique and I have both photographed flowers not necessarily considered beautiful, not in the traditional sense anyway. Mine is of dandelion seeds, and although I snapped a number of more colourful flowers that day (see my Instagram feed), this was my...![Midweek Moment #12](https://i0.wp.com/louiseallan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/MM12.jpg?resize=566%2C340&ssl=1)
Midweek Moment #12
Midweek Moment has been renamed End-of-week Moment this week! My photo is of a relatively new resident to our garden, a Mandevilla Aloha Red. I fell in love with its colour in the nursery, and it really is a bright spot in our rather bare garden. Why is our garden...![Midweek Moment #11](https://i0.wp.com/louiseallan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/MM11.jpg?resize=566%2C340&ssl=1)
Midweek Moment #11
We had a taste of the summer at the weekend, with temperatures peaking in the thirties (degrees Celsius, that is). I took my photo at Swanbourne beach just before sunset. I thought it captured the warmth of the day, and gives us a promise of the summer days to come. I...![Midweek Moment #10](https://i0.wp.com/louiseallan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/MM10.jpt_.jpg?resize=566%2C340&ssl=1)
Midweek Moment #10
This week, I was lucky enough to interrupt a praying mantis on one of our roses. At first, he seemed frightened of the camera, but after a while he realised I wasn’t going to hurt him and lost his camera-shyness. Monique has taken a photo of the first tomatoes...![Midweek Moment #9](https://i0.wp.com/louiseallan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/MM9.jpg?resize=566%2C340&ssl=1)
Midweek Moment #9
I’ve chosen a photo that captures two beautiful moments from my week: the rose is from our garden, the first blooms since they were pruned in winter; and the programme is from a concert in which my son played. Monique has chosen a moment from her week: while...![Midweek Moment #8](https://i0.wp.com/louiseallan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/MM8.jpg?resize=566%2C340&ssl=1)
Midweek Moment #8
I had trouble finding a subject for my Midweek Moment this week. Nothing I snapped turned out—light too harsh; too many shadows; photo too boring; etc. Until, I hung a bedsheet over a window. Immediately, the bright afternoon sunlight diffused, and I took this photo...![Midweek Moment #7](https://i0.wp.com/louiseallan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/MM7.jpg?resize=566%2C340&ssl=1)
Midweek Moment #7
This week, in keeping with a Spring theme, Monique and I have chosen birds: My photo is of a honeyeater in a neighbour’s cherry blossom tree. I think her nest must have been nearby, because she was a bit agitated, flitting back and forth, and keeping an eye on...![Midweek Moment #6](https://i0.wp.com/louiseallan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/MM5.jpg?resize=566%2C340&ssl=1)
Midweek Moment #6
Light and nature have captivated Monique and me this week. I took my photo of a Swamp pea (Eucholypsis linearis) while walking around Forrestdale Lake. The sun behind it makes it glow as if lit from within. Monique snapped her picture of glowing borage flower heads...![Midweek Moment #5](https://i0.wp.com/louiseallan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/MM4.jpg?resize=566%2C340&ssl=1)
Midweek Moment #5
Monique and I were outside again for our photos this week. I was photographing wildflowers at Lake Claremont, including this Calothamnus quadrifidus (One-sided Bottlebrush) that was still covered in dew. A bee chose that moment to zoom in on the flower, and I...![Midweek Moment #4](https://i0.wp.com/louiseallan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/MM3.jpg?resize=566%2C340&ssl=1)
Midweek Moment #4
Monique and I took our cameras outside this week. I chose a macroshot of a Dryandra flower (Banksia sessilis), of which there are many at Lake Claremont at the moment. While I’m loving learning more about photography, I’m also enjoying getting up close and...![Midweek Moment #3](https://i0.wp.com/louiseallan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/MM2.jpg?resize=566%2C340&ssl=1)
