Egg-shaped Vase with Flower and Leaves.

Egg-shaped Vase with Flower and Leaves.
A vaguely autumn-themed still life image photographed yesterday. I'm currently in the throes of a stinking cold with a cough.......so I'm staying indoors for day or two.

The flower came from a pot in my front garden, the leaves I collected and dried last week (also from the garden). The background was a sheet of card from a craft shop with a subtle texture added in post processing..

The egg-shaped vase I found recently in a charity shop and liked it so much that I bought it especially to use in photos, so you'll probably be seeing it again.

Have a splendid weekend y'all.

You make so many of these great table-top scenes topping them off with beautiful photos , it is difficult to praise each one without repeating oneself. ~ I thought it a real egg at first.

I too am sat here sneezing and coughing! Not a good time for that - I was supposed to be visiting a frail relative in Kendal this weekend. I hate these bad chest colds I sometimes get as they last often for weeks and almost always lay me out until I get some super meds from my doc. Anyway, I hope you get well soon.

Cheers. Herb

ps bought a new Nikon D7500 yesterday to replace my faulty 7100. Coming next week, I hope.

Thanks Herb..............I'm pleased you enjoy my tabletop photos..!!

Sorry to hear you're not well mate...........I know what you mean, mine is mainly sinus related and I have a long history of this sort of problem. Hopefully both of us will be better in a day or so and not drag on for too long. I did a Covid test just in case, but it came up negative!

Congrats on your new camera...........hope it arrives soon and you can get out and play with it!

A very happy composition, I see the flu doesn’t freeze your inspiration, LOL. Thought at first it was a real egg, of sterna paradisaea maybe.
My best wishes for your recovery, hope you didn’t pass it on your wife!

Glad you like it Isabel...........I also thought it was a real egg when I first saw it. It's far too big to be a Tern's egg..........I was thinking maybe a small dinosaur :-)))

I'm feeling much better today thanks..........and so far my wife is fine.

Je constate Keith que le rhume n'altère pas tes qualités artistiques.Reste au chaud, on prévoit du froid les jours à venir. j'ai vu passer pas mal d'oies sauvages aujourd'hui, ce n'est pas signe de chaleur.Bon rétablissement.

I have to say Keith, this picture really caught my eye. I think it's fabulous! The hit of colour with the flower against the fading autumn leaves looks superb. I hope we see the vase again because I absolutely love it!!

Hopefully you have recovered from your cold now :-))
