Sea holly is a great addition to a perennial garden. There are several examples at Darts Hill Garden (where I often take pictures). This example is from a floral arrangement. The arrangement included blue and white hydrangeas as well as sea holly.
I'm not surprised that it is so popular, so fresh, green, with the jolly berries AND plentiful in the garden, this time of year, and also, so very decorative. But ooohhh so prickly too!
I am trying to use as little light and dof as possible, a challenge that I love.
I find it necessary and refreshing to regularly go back to the basics of photography.
As a discipline, I used to go out with my Nikon F4, a 50mm lens, b&w or colour film.
Now of course it is much more with the 'ease' of digital, however, I do NOT take hundreds of photos, the discipline is: I use my camera as a 'film' camera, each push of the button COSTS!
So, I compose carefully, wait, look, ... if I AM SURE, pleased... then, I click!
Or like here, I'll preconceive a scenario, go in the studio, set it up and photograph it only when I am happy that I have the result in front of my eyes that I had in my head.
I wish you a day full of peace and goodness, thank you, M, (*_*)

Holly was so excited to be the first to wear our new azhippiechick hat and scarf, that she put them on and ran outside to play. I didn't peek out the window until.... oops! Too late!

We had a holly in our previous garden.

I spotted this lovely Holly Blue resting on an ivy leaf in the garden at the weekend. It's always nice when you get a wildlife treat at home.
Boomblauwtje - Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus) on Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria)
Aka spiked loosestrife, or purple lythrum - grote kattenstaart.
On a trip to the marsh with my Grandson, I spotted this little guy and he finally sat still long enough for me to get this shot.
It's scary how little water is in the marsh right now.
now here is Rudy Hollay's Barn...this front view shows the Italianate style ...this barn is walking distance from the Sterns Barn...I do think the woman is going to church service across the street..got her Sunday best on.
Holly is a 6 month old Vizsla “rescue pup” and a new companion for Milo. Very much a free spirit and totally exhausting, she has dominated life over the past month. Milo is delighted.
This tiny butterfly made it difficult for me yesterday, flitting about and only stopping for a second or two - and never in the same place. Here it was really too high but it was the best I got.
This is quite heavily cropped.
...while I was taking pictures of her, one guy at first just saw the back of her head, and he asked me if I made falconers' caps! LOL...then he saw Holly, and said OH! He thought that her helmet was something else! :D
Back Garden - didn't get a very good view of the upper wing, but from what I did I think its a female.
...and ready for action! Thanks so much to Linda for our new Future Lover goggles! We are offically addicted to these goggles! Holly is also carrying the cool gun from I'M Real...thank you so much, Sandi! We love our gun!
Not as beautifully marked as our Common Blue (especially its underwing) but still a lovely little butterfly that seems to call my garden home.
Whith a wonderful name Ilex aquifolium this grouws in our woods and it berry s are red , birds will eat them in autum and through winter time.
