Keith Burton's photos

Some more items from my "props" box, arranged on a white card background, and photographed in natural window light. We have family down for the weekend, so not much time for commenting etc........but I'll do my best. Have a great weekend everyone..!!

Following on from my close up shot the other day www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/52143794) here are another few shots of the resident cockerels at West Dean Gardens. Thanks for looking.

This was taken outdoors agains a really boring, almost monochrome sky..........so I thought I'd go all in and do a black and white conversion in post processing! A different camera as well......playing with the bridge camera my wife used to use :-)

All taken at West Dean Gardens in West Sussex.

This work is by The London Police: www.thelondonpolice.com Unfortunately, even after visiting more than once, I was unable to get a shot without cars in the way.

Part of a leaf of the Canna Lily. Taken in West Dean Gardens, West Sussex.

Taken yesterday during a visit to West Dean Gardens, Nr Chichester, West Sussex. There were two of them wandering around the walled garden and this one kindly posed for me :-)

Not as big as they used to be.........but still very tasty..........and quite photogenic :-)) Thank you to everyone who has visited my photo-stream lately, especially those who have left a comment and/or a yellow star........always appreciated and it makes sharing worthwhile..!! Have a splendid weekend :-)

Captured towering towering over the rooftops of Old Portsmouth, Hampshire. A better viiew of the cathedral's weather vane can be seen in this photo I took back in 2017: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/45943302

Taken on the seafront in Old Portsmouth, Hampshire.

I'd never heard of this plant until my neighbours cut one down and were going to thrown the remains in the bin. It was cut down because apparently it had never flowered. On investigation it seems the Moonflower is a species of night-blooming Morning Glory, native to tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America, so it's not surprising it didn't like being in southern England :-)) Anyway, before it went in the bin, I snipped off two seed pods, one of which I cut in half and this photo is what it looks like, inside and out. This is about twice life size. In the PiP is an even closer shot of the seeds. Thanks for looking.

The entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, with the town of Gosport and Haslar Marina in the distance. Probably best viewed large. Thanks for looking. Thanks to everyone who has visited my photo-stream lately, especially those who have left a yellow star and/or a comment. Have a lovely weekend!

These were all taken in my garden much earlier this year. Clockwise from top left: Lilac, Iris, Acer, Bluebell. All gone now except for the Acer tree.

I liked the look of this building with its colourful glass windows and the way it stands on the junction of two streets..........so I couldn't resist taking a quick photo of it. The building (and its name) seem to have been influenced by the Dutch pioneer of abstract art, Piet Mondrian (1872-1944). I had no idea about this until I Googled the name of the building. There's an overview here: www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/piet-mondrian-1651
