From the archives. I haven't been shooting much recently, winter bores me......

Taken for the RPS "Bleeding London" Project. As part of this project I decided to set myself my own

challenge and project to photograph every street in the Square Mile- progress can be followed at bleedinglondoncity.blogspot.co.uk/

Some say this turnstile is haunted.

I'm trying to learn to effectively use gradients. I'm not doing very well.

Just thought I'd give this a bit of treatment to see how it looks. Hope you in the macro group don't mind.

Bleeding heart flowers at the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Pink Bleeding hearts are amongst my favourite flowers. The grow on shrubs and also come in white.

Lamprocapnos spectabilis (formerly Dicentra spectabilis); also known as old-fashioned bleeding-heart, Venus's car, Lady in a bath, Dutchman's trousers, or Lyre-flower is a rhizomatous perennial plant native to eastern Asia from Siberia south to Japan. It is a popular ornamental plant for flower gardens in temperate climates, and is also used in floristry as a cut flower for Valentine's Day. It usually has red heart-shaped flowers with white tips which droop from arching flower stems in late spring and early summer. Flowers are heart-shaped and 1–2 inches (3–5 cm) long, with pink outer petals and white inner petals, hanging in a horizontal raceme. They bloom from late spring to early summer. First plants specimens were introduced into England in the 1840s from Japan by the Scottish botanist and plant hunter Robert Fortune. (Wikipedia)

(I was first introduced to this flower when I was about 4 years old... I thought it was the neatest, prettiest flower ever. My mom bought one at "Thyme After Thyme" in Winterville for us to plant, and it promptly died. Mah certainly doesn't have a green thumb... but it was probably better that way - they're poisonous to injest, and Chessie was a frequent foliage muncher)

This bleeding heart is in what we call "The Alaskan Gardens", I have bear and moose statues, and Chuck made a totem pole...
