A quieter day at the tree this evening, just a couple of dog walkers and a runner going by. So I had a little climb of the tree, to look along the lower branch.

Day 121~366

Faffing about today.  This is a shot of sequins on a table, through a water droplet on a glass sheet suspended 6″ above the sequins.  Took ages to focus on the water drop. Happy shiny Saturday wordy peeps.

Day 118~366

I’ve been struggling with this shot for 1 & 1/2 hours, still can’t get it right. Will be going back to it to get it how it looks in my head at some point, but it’s late (again!) now, so time to stop.

Day 117~366

So I got through my long 12 hour day, got home, had dinner, did work updates/emails and then it’s 9.30pm and the last thing I feel like doing is my photo. But you have to push through and get one done at times like this, so I shot some coloured craft beads you string to make bracelets, (it’s a kid thing). Anyway close up they look a bit manky, and if I hd the time I’d scrub them up and start again, but my body is telling me STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND VEG RIGHT NOW!!

Day 116~366

Sun turns blue and gold

but winter air still lingers,

strange times we live in.

A Wardley Haiku 😀

Today it has snowed, and hailed, and been sunny, and very very windy and cold.  In my conservatory the sun illuminated my glass art work, while it hailed outside on the front garden. Strange times.

Day 113~366

A bit late tonight, but I had to wait til it got dark to do my shot. Straws are so cliche, but I wanted to do my own shot of illuminated ones.

Day 112~366

Oh another sunny day! I did go to work this morning, but had the afternoon to play macro in the back garden. I have a plant that in spring produces  little white flowers, then the new leaves are bright red and turn green by summer, so wanted to capture that. Wish I could remember what it’s called, tried google but not found it yet. It was in my mum’s garden and I’ve had it ever since she died. It’s moved house twice and still going strong, though I think needs a serious re-pot!   I also have my growing patch of daisies, and a couple of dandelions.  I also applied some texture to a couple of the shots courtesy of Shadowhouse Creations, Jerry is an amazing guy who makes beautiful textures and gives them away for free. He also does actions & brushes for PS at really small prices, though I have not used them so can’t say much about that. AM sure they’ll be as good as his textures.

Anyway on with the photo’s 🙂
