It's not just the robins that appreciate my tea strainer feeder! Taken from my living room through double glazing.
Love-in-a-mist
| |
|
|
|
These Love-in-a-Mist flowers were all battered down to the ground by heavy winds and rain, so I recovered the best bits to use in this still life image. As usual, the background is a sheet of art paper and the vases with faces came from a charity shop. Captured in natural window light and I also used a reflector.
Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of your weekend ;-)

A few more shots from the Cuppa Cabin as promised.
The Cuppa Cabin is a unique café. It offers a distinctive experience with themed sheds and summerhouses serving as seating areas, each full of vintage furniture, and decorated with various eclectic items, such as books, artwork and plants. Pretty much everything on the site is recycled or upcycled and available for sale either at a set price or for a donation to the various organisations the cafe supports.
The coffee and cakes are excellent..!!

I discovered all these items in a place called the "Cuppa Cabin", located near Exmouth in Devon.

Robin on a Stick

Taken from my living room through the double glazing. The stick had fallen off a tree, so I've tied it to my fence to form a handy perch.

The flowers are from my garden.........they were battered down by the heavy rain showers we've been having and were lying flat on the lawn. There are still plenty left though!

Just for fun, I thought I'd take the photo of the poppy I posted last week and turn it into an abstract. I used the "liquify" tool, which is part of my processing software. I quite like the resulting effect..!!

Giant Purple Poppy

There are dozen or so of these poppies growing in an alleyway near my house. I decided to pick one and photograph it indoors.
House on the waterside, Topsham, Devon

|

Topsham has a maritime history tied to the 17th and 18th-century wool trade with the Netherlands. Many of its buildings were constructed by wealthy merchants using small Dutch bricks imported as ship ballast, and some have Dutch style gables like this one at the waterside.

Taken through the double glazing in my living room hence the couple of almost invisible reflections. I have taken an old tea strainer, and fixed to a fence, which is just visible from indoors, and used it to hold dried mealworms for the birds.
Not the best of photos, but since I could take them whilst sitting on my settee with a cup of coffee, I'm pretty happy ;-)))
Today is the first day of meteorological summer. Have a good week!

I found a fallen poppy in an alleyway near my house, and took it home to photograph. I added a texture in post processing. It won't be to everyone's taste but I like it..!!
Have a good weekend everyone ;-)
Red Telephone Box

A spotted this red telephone box in Topsham, Devon.........an increasingly rare sight nowadays.
Viewed large you can see that the box has been seriously neglected, which for me, made it very photogenic..!!
