The Old Malt House, Markyate, Hertfordshire. Before the coming of the railway, the village was an important stop for everybody travelling between London and the Midlands. There were hotels and dozens of pubs and brew houses (such as this one). What is left today are three pubs and their survival is not guaranteed.
Late February in the sunshine. Hazel tree flowers; the male catkin and the smaller female ‘bud-like’ flower. Also on the same twig, the leaf bud.
Seen at The Knapp & Papermil, a Worcestershire Wildlife Trust reserve.
It has been rather mild lately considering that it is still winter and so Tofu has spent more time outside again. Yesterday he followed me when I went out do to some garden work. The garden is a mess at the moment but that doesn't bother Tofu as long as his feathered friends are around.

An image I had completely forgotten about after putting it through camera raw.
This is a ten shot focus stack which I did around the same time as the leaf triptych below.

This took a while to put together and edit,all the leaves have such beautiful colour which I believe are Maple.
I had to improvise the black background by laying a black coat on the floor and placing the leaves on that, I then lit the leaves with a small torch to emphasize the leaves .I did have some black card but that got a bit crumpled and creased so a nice contrast with a curves layer made sure the black was a deep black and also brought out those colours.
Nature is amazing I love all the colours of the leaves and the veins and patterns in them.
Just something a bit different to do on a cold wet miserable day.

Treating a flower like a person means to take a portrait shot. This image was created by shooting through a frame (lead in this case) and by using five LED spotlights in various positions. I had to go indoors as there is currently too much wind outside. Processed in Fujifilm's raw converter and macOS High Sierra photo editor.
