So very lovely. I’m always impressed by those who know the names of flowers (outside of daisies). Okay, I did know the sweet pea…

Ah, but did you know the sweet pea was a meadow plant?

Most people think of it as a garden plant. It’s long been used to fix nitrogen in the soil, for soil fertility

They are a gorgeous flower, beautiful smell. The wild form is pink. I’ve never seen it growing wild in other colours

Very pretty! I just got done with The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Frye, which has a lot of British landscape and plant life described. Now I can see it.

Mostly I know the names. I do sometimes refer to my guide. For instance, although I Knew I should know the name, I could quite get the hemp agrimony. Yea, of course, it couldn’t be anything else.
This has been an interest of mine since a child, so not quite so impressive.

England’s greenways truly are green.
Also, my eyes are trained to it. Plants that another might disregard and trample underfoot, for me are stars amongst the grass.

Are some of them small but you just have a good camera to zoom in with?

I’m no longer using the canon, where I did that a lot. I’m now using my phone-camera, though the output isn’t far off the same.
The zoom on the canon wasn’t so great, and is naff on the phone. I do the zooming when I get home. I use MS Polarr to crop and tweak my photos… encourage them to pop.

Either way, very impressive. I’ve never been able to get a good shot unless I’m incredibly lucky.
(then again, most of what I take pictures of is data so I can carry it to my computer and read off a closer screen… then immediately delete the picture because, you know, proprietary.)

You need to take the time to focus.
I admit, that’s something I’m having to really concentrate on at the moment as I’m waiting for an op on my right eye and I@m seeing things through a steamed up window.

Loads of people feeling like that. Loads reporting that on Twitter. It’ll pass. So many changes, so much uncertainty, takes time to adjust, and some folks are better adjusters than others.
