#AbFav_FULL_AUTUMN. 🍂

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Plants are rapturing me with their stunning colours, sadly not for long this time, the strong winds play havoc, tear the leaves off the branches, throw them in the air, a few saltos and twirls and then down on the wet ground... nature...

It is easy , in Autumn, to look past the weather, as we are being treated with a beautiful festival of colours.

Selective dof.

I wish you all a wonderful day and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

I see beauty in everything.

This red rose instead of losing its petals, had just dried up, it retained the glory... in my eyes... to yours?

The dried DARK Roses.

We live in uncertain times, MUST care for each other, do what is right: Please give PEACE a chance?

For ALL our sakes?

Please, invite more of your friends to join in and plant flowers in our beautiful garden for PEACE?

I created a group on FB, NO, not a 'FLOWER'-group... so sad about all the terrible news constantly...

PLEASE, join, invite your friends to 'PLANT' their most beautiful flowers in this garden... for PEACE.

Thank you and have a peaceful day, M, (*_*)

This is the top view of this unusual flower, to me it looks like a brain, the intricacies, different lobes.

It was my full intention to photograph it like this from the moment I saw it.

Difficult to control the light because of the glossy texture of the velvety flower.

The cockscomb or cristata types feel and look prickly but are soft and shiny as velvet.

In the Victorian language of flowers, Celosias signified humour, warmth, and silliness.

Somehow I can see why? Making me smile?

More play with light and dof.

or: Cornflowers on a black background…

Cornflower blue is a shade of medium-to-light blue containing relatively little green compared to blue.

This hue was one of the favourites of the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.

CORNFLOWER and CENTAUREA cyanus, commonly known as cornflower or bachelor's button, is an annual flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Europe.

Graphic portraits of Cornflowers in different stages.

And, I just learned that Cornflower are often the reference for an ideal sapphire blue.

The cornflower is considered a beneficial weed and its edible flower can be used for culinary decoration, for example to add colour to salads.

Cornflowers have been used and prized historically for their blue pigment.

Cornflowers are often used as an ingredient in some tea blends and herbal teas and is famous in the Lady Grey blend of Twinings.

Hope you are all safe!

#AbFav_LIKES

BLACKBERRIES...

The blackberry is an edible fruit produced by many species in the genus Rubus in the family Rosaceae.

Very thorny!

Blackberry fruits are red before they are ripe, leading to an old expression that "blackberries are red when they're green".

The seeds contain oil rich in omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) and omega-6 (linoleic acid) fats as well as protein, dietary fibre, carotenoids, ellagitannins, and ellagic acid.

Folklore in the United Kingdom tells that blackberries should not be picked after Old Michaelmas Day (11 October) as the devil (or a Púca) has made them unfit to eat by stepping, spitting or fouling on them.

There is some value in this legend as autumn's wetter and cooler weather often allows the fruit to become infected by various molds such as Botryotinia which give the fruit an unpleasant look and may be toxic.

Have a lovely day and as always, THANK you for your time, M, (*_*)

The name "cranesbill" derives from the appearance of the seed-heads, which have the same shape as the bill of a crane.

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

The Brueghels are back.

A typical Yorkshire Dales' view, with old gnarled trees, the sheep and the ever ongoing dry-stone walls drawing dark dividing lines through the land.

The light was golden, the air crisp and clear, I love Winter.

It reminds me of the paintings of the Brueghel's.

Since it was taken with 400 asa film, I reduced the grain for once, however the main reason was to get that 'paint' effect that the famous Flemish painter's family BRUEGHEL and others put in their paintings.

This was how I saw it, a bright sky and some mystery in the trees, the cold wind gently blurring my tear-filled eyes.

This image is an artistic interpretation.

SIMPLY NIGELLA... by magda indigo

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_BLUE_📫

Nigella, also known as 'devil-in-a-bush' or 'love in a mist'.

Nigella damascena has been grown in English cottage gardens since Elizabethan times.

For many years 'Miss Jekyll' was the only widely available variety, and it is still popular for its dependable masses of sky-blue flowers.

“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else.

Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”

Georgia O'Keeffe quote (American Painter, 1887-1986)

A true blue or purple is not so common in the flower world and not easy to photograph well...

It was named in honour of the German naturalist Traugott Gerber.

It has approximately 30 species in the wild, extending to South America, Africa and tropical Asia.

Colours include white, yellow, orange, red, and pink.

The center of the flower is sometimes black.

It is the fifth most used cut flower in the world (after rose, carnation, chrysanthemum, and tulip).

Seventeenth century marches and music are provided by the Company’s own drums and fifes.

ANEMONISSIMO! by magda indigo

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_BLUE_📫

Different shades of blue, influenced by light...

The colorette and 'heart' of an Anemone, so delicate, complex and beautiful.

Wave after wave, let it engulf you.

Nature at its best!

I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen, with my eyes!

This Anemone just wanted me to know about the dark inner secrets...

For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light? Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.

Lead and enjoy a good life, do and say things that enrich... and do not forget to tell the people close to you, how much you love them!

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comment on my winning image, M, (* _ *)

EXTRAVAGANZA...FUCHSIA by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

the Fuchsias are in bloom, the dainty little dancers...

They are doing soooo well.

Fuchsia from my garden. So delicate and pretty and in one of my favourite colour-combinations!

Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees.

The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in 1703 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier.

He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.

This is one of the varieties, plump, with a red tutu and white nickers? LOL

Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thank you, M, (*_*)

when you are fortunate... and drive the 'correct' road, you might just have these chance encounters.

They stay with me FOREVER!

Aaah flowers, I do love them, just letting you know win case you had any doubts! LOLOLOL

On our 2h30 drive to our chosen destination, Robin Hood's Bay, on the beautiful North-Yorkshire Heritage Coast, we passed this, in an excited rush to get there, I saw it only in a flash...

We tracked back asap. I mean I've seen so many yellow fields, red field, but NEVER a mixed field, it was humming, WILD FLOWERS more than rapeseed, I guess an eco-field? Whatever... it was a photographer's delight.

I hope your day is filled with beauty, thank you for your comments, Magda, (*_*)

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Love them or hate them, Parrot Tulips are Spring's grand (bulb) showcase, big and beautiful, they have flamboyant flowers with streaks, ruffles and frayed edges and all the colours of the rainbow.

Close-up portrait.

Most unusual, these 'red' Rococo Parrot Tulips, flowers with twisted, irregularly fringed and curved petals.

They are weird even a little 'alien'?

Are they "monstrous beauty or beautiful monster"?

Have a glorious day and thank you, M, (*_*)

We were on the North Sea Coast in The North-East of England, Northumberland.

Very windy, wild seas, soft rolling hills, spent after Summer, hay-bales lying in wait, the leaning trees formed by the ever-present wind, STUNNING light...

Thank you for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

The sweet pea is a flowering plant in the genus Lathyrus in the family Fabaceae, native to Sicily, southern Italy and the Aegean Islands.

It is an annual climbing plant, growing to a height of 1–2 metres, where suitable support is available.

You see them in many Summergardens, to be planted every year!

THE STORY of THE LAMBS... by magda indigo

#AbFav_EASTER_CHOCOLATE_🐰

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

High up the Yorkshire Moors, there is little else but sheep, ewes with their lambs.

A massive sign of Spring.

It is definitely NOT silent, the little ones keep losing mum, and mum keeps calling them.

Often they seem lost in this epic landscape.

I know it is traditional to eat lamb around Easter, but, really, how can they?

I mean when you see the little ones frolicking in the fields? AAAWWW

Have a lovely day, M, (*_*)

A cyclamen flower looking like a propeller… LOL

This is only a small plant, but on the windowsill in my kitchen, it seems to thrive in the Northern light, these beauties seem to fight for the light.

Cyclamen are native to the Mediterranean region from Spain east to Iran, and also in northeast Africa south to Somalia.

Have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Saw this mixed bouquet, spotted a few of these beauties amongst other Spring flowers.

Tulips, of the frayed/frazzled variety.

Because of the warmth of the lights, they opened and revealed all.

Ruffled skirts, ready to Rumba?

I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen, huh, with my eyes!

Yes, in full communication again.

Hope this makes you smile again, have a great day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)
