The things you see when you slow down

One of the things we love about walking is that you get to see things you do not see when speeding along on other modes of transport. Because I tend to pull the camera out and “mess about” taking pictures, I was perpetually trying to catch up with Ruth during our walks. This changed last year when when armed with her iPhone 6+ she started taking more and more (and more) photos. Here is a selection from our “messing around” collection, mainly plants in this post:

SONY DSC — Fungi spotted while walking on Great Barrier Island – NZ

There was nothing particularly remarkable about this Nikau Palm, it just made for a pleasing photo – the same walk on Great Barrier Island

Hydrangeas spotted during a walk in Willemstad – Natherlands

Some fungi Ruth spotted on the Cotswold Way walk – England

We spotted Bougainvillea in many part of the world but this combination of pink and white was very pleasing to the eye – in the alleyways of Bodrum – Turkey

Fruit being displayed at a fresh juice outlet in Istanbul – Turkey

Probably just weeds, but they added a little something to this Tuscan image – Montepulciano – Italy

Again – probably just weeds, but they added the colour to this picture taken on the Cotswold Way – England

A butterfly snapped along the Cotswold Way – England

A bluebell among the heather – while walking along the Moray Coast – Scotland

So great! Just today we were out doing the same thing: on a bird walk, but when no birds were in sight, snapping photos of flowers and butterflies. BTW, my favorite is the blooming kowhai. More collections, please!
