June 14th 2009, a beautiful sunny evening. I sat in the garden looking, thinking about nothing in particular but fully aware of the wonderful evening light that was starting to make the plants in the border glow. Time to pick up the camera and start looking amongst the plants in the border - of which there are many different types. As I often do I edged along with the long macro lens, looking through the viewfinder rather than just hoping my eyes would pick something up. With the sun on them the gently hanging blue bells looked a real treat and I spent some time gazing at them lit up by the warm light. I took several pictures to get a group of the bells in the picture, but then I saw the shadow of the stamen on the petal.
