Trying out Russian Tips to decorate some cupcakes. I liked the tip that created these roses the best. Some of the others were a complete flop.
A showy peony to begin the week. Happy Monday!
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day and new week!
It's Sliders Sunday, so this rather showy bloom went to Topaz Studio where I added a background texture and slightly saturated the colour. HSS!
Thank you for your views and comments, much appreciated! Have a great day!
I had thought this was a dahlia and fortunately, one of my contacts let me know that this showy flower is a new variety of coneflower. Thank you, Sharon!
Thank you for your visits and comments, all are appreciated! Have a great day and new week!
A bi-coloured sunflower, fancy that! I spotted this bright beauty on a recent neighbourhood walk.
Background texture is from Topaz Studio 2.
As always, I appreciate your views and comments, thank you!
Have a wonderful day!
Smile on Saturday: Fancy Fabrics
A birthday present of a little fold away bag to pop into my camera bag for unexpected shopping😀

I've always loved the delicate and detailed plumage on the Australian Wood duck. This male was posing nicely for me.
Last summer, I was on a neighbourhood walk and found this fancy coneflower topped by a milkweed seed and visited by an Ashy Pleromelloids Moth. Fancy that!
Thank you for your views and comments, all are greatly appreciated. Have a great day!
Taken for the Smile on Saturday theme of Fancy Fabrics. I have spent ages faffing around trying to get a shot I am happy with using all different fabrics but this is the best I could manage! The fabric is blurry just in case anyone thought it was out of focus! HSoS!
I hope this picture fits well for this week theme. Have a happy smile on Saturday!

Macro Monday theme 'egg': For this shot, I wanted to do a different type of egg and create a food masterpiece. I started by making a 3/4" cubed rice roll wrapped in seaweed. Placed an edible flower and piece of dill in the frame, then finally placing the 'egg' (salmon roe) on the roll and acrylic base.
This is a shot I took during my holiday in Tenerife. The coast of "El Sauzal" is very rocky and there are several small bays where you can take a swim. These stairs lead down to the water and if you take a closer look you can see a ladder leading into the water on the other side of the small bay. When I took this picture there was high tide and the waves came crashing over the rocks and flooded the stairs, so swimming here would have been a bit risky. However, we found other swimming bays and natural pools which were more protected from the waves.
Thank you for your visits, coments and faves!
With its purple/pink flowers clustered tightly together on a tall stem, Foxglove is one fancy and beautiful flower.
Unlike a perennial which flowers every year, foxgloves are biennial, meaning they flower every other year.
They can be invasive, but because of their beauty, that can be a good thing for some gardeners.
They are quite toxic, so while they may be touched without ill effect, ingesting them by mouth will produce dangerous effects. So care should be taken when pets or children are in their proximity.
I captured these flowers with my birding telephoto lens set at 400mm, f/5.6, at 1/30th of a second handheld, and an ISO of 1100.
You should want a bad bitch like this (ha?)
Drop it low and pick it up just like this (yeah)
Cup of Ace, cup of Goose, cup of Cris
High heels, somethin' worth a half a ticket on my wrist (on my wrist)
Another one of my gorgeous Clematis vines, growing in my garden. When the bloom is done, the seed head is just as beautiful! Best viewed large.
Thank you all for your support and visit! Hope you have a wonderful new week ahead! Paper Kite Butterfly.
While we were shooting Mardi Gras house floats, I had the opportunity to shoot other great details all over town! I am especially fond of the old ironwork that is just everywhere!
HFF!
New Orleans, LA
There are many little villages in Quebec that showcase local art in tasteful ways throughout their area. I have seen it with benches on the Main Street in Aylmer that look like sculptures but you can sit on them. Manhole covers on the street have neat art imprinted in the metal. In the towns we explored along the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, people display carved wood or metal statues on their lawns, in front of churches and in beautiful small parks. This is a fence along a boardwalk in a small park that is being beautified beside the Chutes de la Rivières du Sud. You can see the spray coming from the waterfall behind it. Enjoy art in your community this summer! Happy Fence Friday!
Taken during a photoshoot at our camera club. The flowers are dried and placed on a light table. This helps with the translucency,
I myself like the delicate look and feel.
