Tibouchina granulosa (Lasiandra) up close.

Tried out the macro extension tubes again today. Had a go at photographing the sapphires that we had found last year, but that didn't go too well. So headed out into the garden. I love the formation of the stamens on these flowers.
More drizzly rain again today.
The pups got tied up this afternoon, firstly they put Whisky (the cat) up a tree (twice) and then they ran after a car as it was leaving our place, but wouldn't come back when called. Now sitting very quietly - and well behaved - in the dogs chair. But Gypsy did catch a mouse earlier on, so that was good.
