The story came about with the bar code idea. Daisy is a radicalized cow, she always has issues and frequently stomps around the fields with slogans painted on her sides. Today's protest is not wanting to be just a number. Her long-suffering farmer owner loves to see...

Caught in the Lights
Something a bit different today! I produced this image for a challenge over at our Man Ray group on Flickr . The starting image was a photo of a French gatehouse or pigeonair provided by Paul. After a bit of thought I decided to do a night scene with a car on a...
steps at the end of the beach
Whilst looking for other things I came across this old beach picture from a Thailand trip a year ago. I'm not sure where it was shot, perhaps its same The Beach movie location again! At night Martine and I would walk barefoot home from town, holding our sandals in the...
Snow Seeds
Happy May Day! For a slight backward step, as I produced this image several weeks ago, when still experimenting with the new Fly Edges. It's always a leap of faith when trying something you've never done before. I'd taken these last snows of the year pictures, and had...
Apples
These very small and very scruffy apples came from a roadside tree, I'd picked them hoping they'd be sour as I had intended making a savoury chilli jelly, I discovered however that they're sweet with very tough skins....definitely not for eating but they made good...
Canal avenue
Having started this image months ago I abandoned it. Jill reminded me of it and so I reluctantly had another go! I used the original textured image and simply added more. It created this picture up on Fickr. Unfortunately the quality was too small as a 'keeper' being...
A little late lunch
Hanmer springs is a lovely alpine village famed for its beautiful natural hot springs, it also has some great tracks to walk and cycle. I spotted this guy -a mule if I'm not mistaken, when we were out for a walk. He wasn't going to stop eating for anything, or come...
Iris
Last week, armed with a piece of black card, I took the dog a walk to our local Park of the poets to photograph iceland poppies, thankfully as the wind was low I managed several acceptable shots. See it on Flickr . Later, at the duck pond I took a few experimental...
Ghostly
I'm really enjoying the versatility of our new Fly Edge textures. I've used them as straight texture without the edges but here I decided that the grungy look would enhance this image. To start with, I roughly cloned some colour into the upper pale section of the...
Bounty
Almost every time I go to the beach I come home with a pocket full of small shells and stones and suchlike. Most of these ones came from a beach near the entrance to our harbour where there are lots of these tiny treasures underfoot. I processed these with textures...
