Macro Mondays Leaves only Leaves
A few weeks back I picked up two or three leaves from the capital pear trees in our driveway and decided to see what sort of shots I could get using a black cloth as background, a bit of desklamp lighting manipulation and a tweak or two of photo post-processing editing. This is a different shot from one I posted of the same leaf a few weeks ago.
Salyx, having a wee shady moment on the new garden sofa...
We built this behemoth in June...from old pallets and new decking. I thought it was a good idea. It weighs a bloomin’ tonne! It is more than seven ft long, at one point. Also, I had to buy some sheds in which to keep the over-the-top-expensive cushions.
Anyway...not content with lying under a tree or a bush, Madam decided that comfort was top of the agenda.

Female rose-ringed parakeet. Last time I went to St James`s Park I only saw one, now I am told there are at least 20, Soon be as many as Kensington Gardens, I wonder how they will cope with this cold weather though!

It was fairly dark so had to go with a fairly slow shutter speed which has resulted in a bit of blur around some of the flamingos heads. However, I did like the reflections of the trees which (hopefully) add to the shot!
Have a good weekend everyone.
A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 30074
These carefree flowers were growing alongside the sidewalk. I thought they were quite pretty and deserved to be photographed. For Sliders Sunday, I took them to Topaz Studio for editing, colour enhancement and addition of a texture. HSS!
P.S. I have BIG news! I am moving and will be away from Flickr tomorrow and for another day or two after that. Wish me luck, cuz I'm gonna need it! I'll catch up with your awesome images when I get back!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day week ahead!

This building in downtown Beardstown, Illinois was completed in 1889 as a clubhouse for the Beardstown Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In recent years it has housed an antique mall. Glad to see this old-timer survive into the 21st century, but I'm not quite sold on the color.
At the moment it's snowing outside, the first snow of the season, boo hoo! You know what? I'd much rather be seeing pretty lilies any day of the week. Lightly edited in Topaz Studio 2. HSS!
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day!
