Happy Birthday!

Last night we had an early Halloween Party and started celebrating the younger Mr Dancing’s special birthday which is today.

Earlier in the week, after looking through 40+ albums, scanning photos, sorting more recent digital images and doing quite a bit of maths, I managed to make a mosaic with each photo representing a year of his life.

Thank you for being such a wonderful son … love you loads … have a great day xxxx

Lunch with an Admiral and a Lady

It was so warm in the garden today that we took our lunch outside.  At first there was a Red Admiral fluttering about – but by the time I picked up my camera, it was gone.  I did manage to take these of the Painted Lady.

Climate Friendly?

For the Photo Group project this month, I’ve been trying to take a photo that conveys the theme of “Climate Friendly”. I’ve messed around with this image, taken outside the bike shop this afternoon, on a programme called Gimp to achieve a semi-abstract picture.

Does it say Climate Friendly to you?

In the garden today …

… the colours of the acers have changed into glowing luminous oranges, reds and yellows – an agapanthus has decided to flower again – verbena bonariensis is flowering vigorously – beautiful pepper pot seed pods sway atop poppy stems – there are vibrant green shoots on the Christmas tree and the fennel has taken on a spooky appearance.
