35/52: The weekly challenge - Leaves
I bought a couple of old books at the weekend...to add to my growing collection. One was an old library book about the life and times of Lloyd George. I tore the fly leaf out (hence the title) since that was the whole purpose of buying the book. Apologies to anyone who thinks that is a crime but the way I look at it is it's being used rather than end up in a tip somewhere. The other book, with the rose on has lots of hand written notes in it which also appeals to me from an artistic point of view. I also made a tag with the leaf definition from an old dictionary...oh dear...I am a book lover really!
Celebrating the mundane! I was making my husband his breakfast sandwich and had my aha for the day. I took this on my front porch while the weather cycled between rain and sunshine. There is something so special and amazing about Spring rain, the trees on my street are all in bloom, it was definitely a beautiful morning. Hope you have a fantastic day.
Note - this is not my idea of a great pbj. Mine would use Dave's Killer Good Seed Organic Bread, chunky peanut butter, and bananas.
I love yard sales because they are real treasure hunts. These are the items I purchased yesterday and I just loved that they all go together colorwise. The prices were as follows - cast iron pan $1, bottle $.50, kettle $1, blue dishes and bamboo mat $2, table $4. No, the lemon, eggs and flowers weren't from yard sales.
An idea that popped into my head a couple ideas ago, seemed appropriate for a Friday.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

On my way to the isle of Møn, to see the cliffs on the picture with my own eyes ...
Take care, hope to see you next week!
😎😎😎
I have had this idea in my head for some time and because of daylight savings and a sleepy family I took the time to play with it today. I wish I had more flower petals to work and that I had laid them out more carefully. This would be fun to try with other items around too. Beans, stones, buttons, spices, fruits and veggies, use your imagination. Wishing you some peace and love, we all need it in the divisive and chaotic world.
No time to play with my camera ... but just a quick shot of a flatlay while preparing supper won't hurt. I hope ... 'cause i tend to ruin the food when I do not give my full attention to the cooking. ;-)
Had my girlie up with me this morning so we collaborated on creating this message of love to share with the world.
Back-to-school for the grandkids meant pink erasers for everyone. I love those erasers they remind me that it's ok to make mistakes. I couldn't resist the tiny composition books.
Since I posted my Christmas cards from last year and the one before I thought I'd do the same again. I quite like a flat lay and don't often have good ideas

#93 in my 100 x challenge - Monochrome
Also for Sliders Sunday. HSS
I've had this idea knocking around in my head for a while and collected and washed some empty snail shells...no snails were harmed during the making of this photo.
348/365: I bought these candy canes last year, as photo props. So here they are for another outing this year. Of course if they had been chocolate they wouldn't still be around!
AAW November 3 - 10: Your Hobbies, Toys and Gear
WIT: I love makeup, my face is my canvas and I love experimenting with different colours and cosmetics. This is only a small selection of all my cosmetics, haha!
346/365: With less than twenty days to go in the 365, I think it's getting harder to come up with ideas...even in the festive season. I will miss it as it does become a way of life but will not be doing a 365 next year to try to regain my sanity...now where's the fun in that?
Lately I have been buying bouquets of sunflowers when I am at the store, just like in the spring when I found myself picking up bouquets of tulips almost week after week. :D They come in handy for photos and props. ;-) I didn't like the choice of background I used for this flatlay which was a rusty orange so I tried making it more interesting with adding a texture. While searching for free textures to use one can become a little overwhelmed as there are soooo many choices...oh my goodness which to chose?? Anyways I found a few I liked. Also, this gave me some practice as I do want to try improving my editing skills with textures.
The texture I used was from Kerstin Frank here on Flickr.
Thanks for your visit! Have a great weekend!
I loove the smell of star anise. I bought some to make a stovetop potpourri which I haven't gotten around to making yet; as you can see I am too busy assembling a flatlay and photographing it. 😉
Happy Sunday to you all - thank you for your visit.
This Photo was created for the Smile on Saturday Theme "Flat Lay".
After several different approaches I selected a 17mm focal length primarily because longer lengths put the camera at a considerable distance above the arrangement. The wide angle also enabled the sides patterns on the cups show. In order to assure sharp detail I captured 3 images at differing focal points and stacked them in Photoshop.
Thanks in advance for comments and faves ... they inspire us to keep trying new shooting techniques and situations. Happy Smile on Saturday!
A Christmas themed flatlay for my 365 photo for today.
Thanks for your visit! I hope you had a wonderful day.
April 2023: A month in 30 pictures
Well, I'm attempting the April challenge in the hope that my back and mojo allow it.
A simple flat lay for day one...what a surprise ;)

56/365: A pretty unoriginal title but not much time for photography let alone thinking of titles. Although things are busy they are also pretty wonderful while we get to know our amazing new little person. So another post and run I'm afraid...I will get back when I am able.
Day 205/365:
A lot of our roses are dying because of the heat. I snipped a few half dead one for this photo.
Lensbaby Velvet 56...because it was still on my camera.
Once again I must apologise for the lack of comments. Our internet keeps going down.
Day 152/365:
Same old, same old here I'm afraid. Still making the most of my flowers with no other ideas springing to mind.
Autumn days have arrived and the beautiful fall colours are everywhere.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Got to make the most out of these tulips so here they are again. I added a texture courtesy of Kerstin Frank, thank you for your generosity. www.flickr.com/photos/kerstinfrank-design/11855567076/in/...
I am already behind with commenting but I'm afraid I will probably get even more behind as we are going away tomorrow, for the weekend. We have a caravan (trailer to the non Brits) on the North Norfolk coast where it is an internet blackspot. Will try to get a pic taken before we go so I don't get too behind with posting as well as commenting.

356/365: I had a very busy but productive day yesterday...wrapping presents, making Christmas pudding ice cream, mince pies and Christmas puddini bonbons...a Nigella recipe...they don't look as good as hers and I had to change the recipe to suit the ingredients I had, but by golly they taste good. Help yourself to one but be warned they do contain alcohol (and nuts).
Decided that after a few busy days I would keep photography low-stress and simple for today, and nothing fits that better than a coffee flat lay for me.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Compositionally Challenged Week 46 - Flat Lay & Knolling
Ice cubes placed on top of smooth white acrylic sprayed with water, with blue fairy lights underneath. In post I desaturated to give this more of an icy look.
Day 80/365:
I've been having a bit of a spring clean. Yesterday I came across these little pots in my prop stash. Not sure I've used them before. Today cleaning out my kitchen cupboards I found some out of date spices and started to put them in the food waste but pulled myself up sharply...not before you take a photo! The little vintage pots along with my collection of vintage mustard spoons were the perfect accompaniment to the spices.
No inspiration for MM today.
October 2023: A month in 31 pictures
Back from a few days away so also back in my still life/ flat lay comfort zone.
I looked out into the garden and noticed the sedum had turned to this lovely autumnal russet red. I instantly saw it as a flat lay opportunity. The little tag is one I made.
