A Single Flower
Posted on June 17, 2020
Cee’s Fun Challenge for this week wants images of a single flower. This was one that emerged from a scattering of mixed wild flowers that we sowed in our garden last year.

52 Week Smartphone Challenge: 11 – Fill The Frame
Posted on March 14, 2020
For week 11 of the Smartphone Challenge hosted by Khürt, we’re invited to fill the frame with a single colour.
Spring seems to have come earlier than usual this year and there are plenty of the usual harbingers already in evidence – like this narcissus.

Signs of Spring
Posted on January 15, 2020
Although this winter has been very mild (so far at least), it’s still too early to say that Spring has arrived, so here is a bud emerging from the soil in years gone by

This old bicycle which has been repurposed as a sort of window-box was just crying out for the sepia treatment.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Fuzzy
Posted on September 18, 2019
The seed head of the variety of grass known as Queen Ann’s Lace is naturally fuzzy, but is rendered even more so after a heavy frost.

This grasshopper must have got blown off course, as it finds itself in the middle of an orange poppy in our garden.
Poppy

Last year, we (which is to say Madame) sowed a selection of wild flowers in a couple of raised beds in our garden. This year we have a colourful swathe of bright orange poppies, which have obviously self-seeded.
Monochrome, however, helps to bring out the detail of the heart of the flower.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Growth
Posted on February 5, 2019
Frank’s theme for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge is ‘Growth’, so flowers seems like a logical place to go to find an appropriate image, notwithstanding that I posted a picture of some roses last time.
I saw this tightly packed group of lily buds in the Botanical Gardens in Sydney a few years ago. There’s plenty of potential growth here and perhaps the tight crop lifts the shot a little out of the ordinary.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Rose
Posted on January 29, 2019
Frank’s chosen the topic of ‘Rose’ for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge. I have no shortage of images of roses in my library, so the only problem was selecting one previously unposted. I think this fits the bill. It’s a French rose called ‘Pierre de Ronsard’ and I saw it last year at the annual festival of roses at Doué-La-Fontaine
