Parsley

I have been suffering withdrawl symptoms from my camera, so wanted to take some pictures this weekend.  However, after a late night out with friends I was up too late to go anywhere past the end of the drive in the current, overly hot weather.

Therefore,  I decided to try to find something in the garden.  Last year I planted some parsley in the back garden, it survived the Winter quite happily, but not the heat and is insisting on flowering.  This makes it rubbish as a herb, but more interesting for photography.

I like the shape of umbellifers, they are distinctly architectural.  I also liked the coolness of the green on green.  I have cropped this into a square because it seemed to want it that way.  The shot was handheld with my macro lens, ISO100, 1/160secs at f/9.  If I could change the shot, I would probably go up to ISO200 and get a little more depth of field so the flowers at the front were sharper.
