Bloomin' Rolex

Anybody else like to take photos of your watch with flowers?
I've taken a few over the years . Here's the latest with our little Cactus that has just produced two beautiful blooms.

I like your roman DJ, and that’s great backdrop - Beautiful flowers! You must reside somewhere warm. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing!

Another Cactus in bloom. These only bloom for a day - so you have to catch them when they do. Hard to get good exposure with a cell phone on a shiny item like a watch.

Good one, Jesus! Lets see some Texas flowers with your watch.
(I reckon it's a bit of a challenge photographing a watch with flowers in the garden as it involves manipulating the phone with one hand whilst trying to twist the watch-wrist to avoid flare off the face) The light is very intense here in Queensland, and probably in Texas also.

Heya mate, hahaha I thought I was the only one who likes em flowers.

I hope you're not affected by the fire too much!

Thanks Grady. Go for it. I love to see a little bit of flora from parts I will never see with my own eyes.
Good one Ken, now lets get a close-up of your striking 'Coke' with the beautiful New Mexico flowers in the background.
Lee - show us your nuts, then!
Hi Jesse, yes, I like the contrast of metal with the natural colours. Thanks for asking about the fires - we had them pretty close a few months ago but this time they are closer to the coast and it is only the smoke that is drifting over us here in Capricornia.

That's quite a striking photo, Lt., the GMT is in nice sharp focus and the background really sets it off. In your neck of the woods there would be no shortage of flowers, I imagine.
