Drive-By
Another drive-by shooting...I'm getting good at taking photos out the car window, thankfully I'm the passenger so I have plenty of opportunity. I won't be around for the next week or so but Paul will be here taking care of things. A lot of textures went into this...
Blueberries
I have one blueberry bush in my garden. It dates back to the days when I was studying horticulture by correspondence at one of our NZ universities. As part of our studies we had to attend a week long block course which for me meant travelling to the North Island. It...
Gently
More roses from my mothers garden, she has inherited lots of standard roses with trunks like small trees! I'm not a big fan of that style of rose bush myself but can see the advantages, you don't have to bend over to smell them and they're much easier to weed around,...

the green one!
Fennel is considered a weed in many places but I don't mind it in my garden. I love it for it's wonderful towering flower stalks and seedheads, it's lovely soft ferny foliage, it's aniseed fragrance and flavour. At one time I'd have avoided the power-pole or cloned it...
Whisper
I never know what to write about my flower photos here, landscapes are much easier to write about 🙂 So today you'll just get the processing recipe. I decided on the soft treatment on these roses, I did have more textures to start with, archival canvas and apple...
Memories…
I've been offline for the last few days while my computer was upgraded. The upgrade (basically a new computer) was done by my son and it didn't go as smoothly as expected -the two hours he quoted me turned into almost two days. The house has never looked tidier!! Now...
Baking
It's strange how you can work on an image for hours and not get it looking quite right so you give up and do something else (or in my case go to bed) and then the next day open it and add some different textures and within moments you have something that works....
