Weeds often make the best photos! These are the small flowers from a weedy shamrock leaved oxalis that pops up in my garden every year. I have a garden full of pretty flowers at the moment and then choose a weed to photograph. Anyway as requested here's the texture...

Berry Christmas!
Who needs Christmas decorations when you've got natural ones in the form of berries! These are red currants, the birds get most of the ones on the bushes these days but in the past I've made red currant jelly, ice-cream and even wine! We'd like to take this...
Bouquet
As requested by Debbie, here's the recipe for my recent rose image. The photo is of the Cecile Brunner roses once again, and rather than give them the soft treatment I used last time, I decided to go for a more visibly textured look. The roses by the way are still...
Sweet Peas
Don't sweet peas have the most wonderful fragrance? I wish I could share the scent with you all -as someone on flickr said at times like this we need a scratch and sniff computer screen! I have one of my neighbours to thank for these beauties, they grow in profusion...

On my recent trip to England I drove to Eastbourne, which is about a 30 min drive east along the coast from Brighton, or as the locals call, 'London-on-Sea' as so many ex-Londoners have moved there over the past 20 years. Eastbourne is the poorer, more sedate...
A new dawn
During the midsummer, having just lost my Internet connection, I discovered I had much more time to get out there and take actual pictures! This was one very early pre-dawn rising, I drove towards the local beach and decided this wheat-field with it's ruined stone...
French farmhouse
This is one of those lucky shots that came about from shooting a blood red poppy field. Its just the horizon, with the foregrounds over-bright poppy field removed. That cloud is as it was, where it was, and I just left it hanging pensively in the corner! From Summer...
Sweetheart
A recipe for this one was requested by Debbie over at flickr so I thought I'd do a quick blog entry for anyone else interested. The roses are Cecile Brunner commonly known as sweetheart roses, I love their tiny perfect buds and blooms. I took many photos of them...
Daisy
Paul is away on holiday in the UK at the moment and I'm sure he'll come back in a few days with some wonderful photos to texture so in the meantime you're going to get yet another recipe from me. I am slightly guilty of using the same textures over and over in my...
Misty morning
This image was done for a texturing challenge over on Flickr, the starting image was kindly provided by flickr member Adrigu . Misty landscapes are always great to texture so I jumped at the chance to do this and thought I'd share my recipe here. To start with I...
