kodak instamatic X-35 camera {vintage photographs}

The Instamatic X-35 was made by Kodak in the 1970′s it sold from 1970-1976, it used 126 film and a GE magicube flash bulb. I love collecting old cameras, this one in particular is a favourite of mine because it was ”our” family camera in the early 70′s. Probably the first camera that I ever remember, documenting my early childhood memories.

Pretty Pink Snapdragon {Antirrhinum majus} floral photography

I absolutely love Snapdragons, they are one of my favourite flowers…Snapdragons grow as slender stalks with clusters of snappable flowers. These flowers resemble little dragon faces that when squeezed appear to be opening and closing {snapping} their mouth.   Snapdragons are annuals & come in a wide variety of beautiful colours!  Captured in the garden this evening. { Canon 40 D / 50mm }
