Please Stay Still!

I originally planned to do this night blip of the berries on my Berberis Rubrostilla yesterday, but that idea was discarded when I saw my Stomanthe Sanguinea wth the sun shining through it and that became my blip for the day. So I was determined that tonight I'd do the blip I'd originally had in mind. But the weather decided to try to thwart me and there's a horrible, gusting strong wind. However I'm totally mad very strong minded so that wasn't going to put me off! As a result before dinner I spent the best part of an hour squatting down by the berries I wanted to blip, demanding nicely asking my Berberis to stay still and swearing at politely talking to the wind in the hope it might go elsewhere. It didn't of course. During lulls in the wind I took over 40 shots, not really expecting any of them to actually be any good. Much to my relief a few were and I was pretty happy with this one.
And I've just now eaten dinner at 8:20. I think you could say I'm "blipping" crazy.
