Mrs Mail said I should photograph some fungi growing in the footpath near our house.

I doubt this is edible and they often grow around the grass in the unstettled weather.

It is about 50mm o 2 inchs across.

For Texture Tuesday using "Mary" texture.

For Kim Klassen's "Texture Tuesday"!

I used two of Kim's textures on this image. One layer of "Just Stitched" (which inspired my title lol) on Soft Light at 100%; one layer of "Stained Linen" on Soft Light at 91%, and a -75 Saturation...

Maybe I'm spending too much time on the computer but the shadows remind me of Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Past! :)

Days of Shooting – Week 10 (w/b 10th September) Roof(s): We all live under a roof but this week we are going to be tasked to take photographs of a roof or roofs, your own, someone else’s roof or a local business roof. Now, if you are having to climb up on a ladder please be careful or you may catch some roofs from crossing a bridge …. macro might sound difficult but we will allow bird houses or a little doll’s house or the dog kennel ~ let’s see what we can find!

Texture on Tuesday

I saw these pink rose petals on the path and it did remind me of a wedding tradition; spreading rose petals is for spreading love - only these petals were getting drenched with rain and that is not a good sign at a wedding ;o)

ODC - SYMBOLIC is the Topic for Friday 29th March 2012

Roses have many more symbolic meanings than love. Roses have their roots in Greek mythology, Christianity and Roman culture.

The rose in Greek mythology was associated with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Aphrodite is often depicted with roses in her hair in paintings showing her passion and love for Adonis. The rose has symbolic meaning in Christianity.

The rosary is an important Christian symbol of devotion to God or being one with God, just as Mary and Jesus are one with God.

The rose is a symbol of secrets. The term, "sub rosa" means under the rose and dates back to the Roman Empire. During secret meetings, Romans would hang roses over the table where it was known that anything discussed at that table would be kept secret.

The rose is a symbol of the paradox between good and evil or joy and pain, as depicted in the old saying, "Every rose has its thorn."

Even the different colors of roses have symbolic meanings - A red rose symbolizes passion, love, devotion and sacrifice. White roses are for purity and humility. Yellow roses symbolize joy and gladness.

Pink roses are sent to convey admiration, joy or appreciation. They are among the most common roses growing in the wild. The shade of pink can be used to convey different messages. Dark pink roses denote gratitude and are often sent as a thank-you. Light pink roses are used to express admiration and are often sent in sympathy. In general, pink roses are associated with elegance, grace, gentility, perfect happiness, sweet thoughts, first love, healing and innocence.

Week #45 (w/b 17 May) Think Pink - Pink to make the boys wink, pink martinis and even Pink Floyd!! Whatever, we are looking for anything that is wholly pink or has pink within. Pink is considered to be gender specific but that shouldn't get in the way - Think Pink!!

Texture Tuesday - Texture in photography emphasizes features and details, so the detail in the surface of the object(s) you are photographing should be the most important feature of the image.

Week #13 (w/b 4 October) Lines - Straight lines, curved lines and broken lines! Wherever, we can find lines and they are all about us they will add great depth to our photos. Lines can converge as they disappear into the distance creating a great perspective. Just be careful on those railway tracks!!

( just had to do the train tracks)

Kind of struggled with today's textures but hopefully this works!!

A lovely plant with stunning formation and color. I have been trying to get a decent photo of it for some time. The pink color is so vibrant, it almost glows. Truly Heavenly!

Today's Texture Tuesday theme is the Open eDition, and is to be centered around the prompt theme open. Our hearts are open, and I hope that is portrayed here. Kim Klassen's beautiful scratched texture called "wonderful magic" was applied.

Happy Tuesday!

Our Daily Challenge ... new and improved.

I went shopping yesterday after my rehab session to buy some stretch bands to use for exercising at home. This turquoise throw rug caught my eye as I walked past so I made an impulse purchase. The evenings are beginning to get cool and I recently got out my old fleecy throw rug but this one is much nicer. It has a lovely soft 'nubbly' texture and the colour works well in the room.

I intended to try to do this challenge and then forgot all about it until today but I've just realised this pic I took today fits Sunday through to Tuesday anyway. Hope that's OK.

It's Texture Tuesday: The Orange eDition. I've been away for a while. We had some beautiful flowers for a church banquet the other night and I brought some home. I have also been playing with my Lensbaby the last week or so - still trying to get the focus just right. Anyway, this week's challenge was orange.

Week #46 (w/b 24 May) Library Days and/or Books - Most everyone loves a good book whether that be a rip roaring thriller or a love story whatever the genre we all enjoy to sit back and read (when we can). Do you select your books from the library or purchase them or download them? Nowadays, we have many varied ways of getting a hold of that book which must be read. So, let’s see some wonderful photos depicting people reading their book/e-reader or images of books/e-reader in a variety of places - have fun!

Totally Texture Tuesdays

50 days of 50mm

No indeed....they are antique French opera glasses (circa 1901). I wish I knew more about their history. I found them a few years back in a flea market. I can imagine the elegant women who used them. It's a shame I did not have a pair of long white gloves for the shot. :(

for 7DoS: a metal plaque along the sea front. I'm no expert, but I think the erosion could be claiming more along this part of the coast, in the not too distant future!
