Early morning [6 am ] flowers from the garden

Getting up early to maximize house ventilation and watering the plants before another tropical day in Holland starts, they expect 32 degrees celcius today so far inside the house it's nice and cool 20 degrees celcius we have no airco here so just keep windows and curtains closed to keep the heat outside.

And after watering the flowers it's time to grab the camera :)
This morning i focus on smaller flowers hope you enjoy what you see .

Amazing macro photography with little homemade additional equipment !LOLZ

Heat has been extreme up North, suggest watering early evening before sunset, this allows water to settle and plants drink into the night. Unless you watering mornings and night, with our restrictions on water over many years we used to drip feed at night only, now hardly use water with all plants being indigenous.

Water levels are becoming a problem, using wisely like you do helps a lot. Have a wonderful weekend as well.

Wow! It is getting up there, temperature-wise! I don't blame you for trying to get it all done before it sets in! The first shot is simply breathtaking, makes me feel like I am waking from a dream, the mood of the shot is what I strive for. Not nearly as easy as you make it look. :)

The one with the ant's butt sticking out is great. Hehe. I have never been able to get one of those. You are sincerely patient.

The yellow one is another that I am in love with. The photography is carefully calculated, but for me, it is the mood it sets. Thank you for using #alwaysaflower!

I never say no to a waterdrop! Love these!
