.lady in red.

September 25, 2010

i guess spring is kinda here after all….only because spotted this little lady in my garden while i was pottering about.
i think she usually comes out of hiding only during Spring time. I never saw her in any other season….
or maybe is it because i never really look for her when its too cold? LOL

For the first time in a long time i had to use my tripod again….i had to dug it out from our storage space quickly
just because i don’t want her to leave or fly away before i had a chance to take pictures.
The reason why i had to quickly grab my tripod was because it was quite windy (what a surprise there…NOT!)
and also the way she was moving around i cannot lean on anything to keep my grip steady on my camera when i change my shooting angle.

Anyway, i love how photogenic she was and i was lucky that she allowed me to have a quick mini session…
which was about 10-15 mins before she flew away.
I didn’t take my eyes of her the whole time i was shooting just to make sure i wont loose sight of her,
however i did checked my LCD screen for a few seconds and the next second i looked back, she was gone…i guess my 15 mins was up LOL

So here is the little lady who came to visit our garden…..isn’t she beautiful?
