October 2023: A month in 31 pictures
We took this wreath down from our living room wall as we are decorating. I thought ahah, I could use that in a flat lay. I popped some little rosebuds, that I dried, in it for a little splash of colour. And gave Elizabeth (I assume that is Elizabeth Bennet) a little rosebud to hold. The flowers bottom right are my daughter-in-law's bridesmaid bouquet from a few years ago.
Penultimate day of the October challenge, not sure whether to feel happy or sad.
This is the flat lay I made when photographing my tulips on Sunday. I always like to get the most from tulips, or any flowers. There could be more to come as they haven't totally fallen apart yet and I love the way the colour deepens as they dry out.
A rather random collection of stuff. I bought this mug the other day, I was drawn to the shape but I also love the colour which is why I left it empty. My daughter-in law lent me this book a while ago, I haven't got around to reading it yet but it went well with the mug. I've been wanting to use the little wooden spoon in a pic for a while. I scrounged the hydrangea from my neighbour...I was admiring it so she cut it for me, it's drying nicely. I added the starfish for good measure...they are from my recent trip to Lanzarote.

This may not be the most seasonal dessert but it's my son's favourite and that is a good enough reason for me to make it.
I thank you for all your visits, favourites and comments, they are truly appreciated.
Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year wherever you may be... take care of yourselves and keep clicking.
The neighbour dropped off some baking for us. Before the family could eat it, I got to photograph it.

One of a number of images I have been putting together with items shot in a box or frame - this time in a shallow box I made myself and roughly and rustically painted. The Meadow Brown butterfly was shot on a flower along the Ridgeway in Wiltshire about a year ago. I am grateful to Stan Farrow FRPS - and his seemingly endless creativity - for the inspiration.
Sending you blue skies and sunshine!
This Blythe doll is Float Away Dream, posing for the theme “Sunshine” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. The sun is made of construction paper. Dress by WoollyRockers on Etsy.
Flat lay image of blueberries in an old dish. Taken with a macro lens, reflector used to bounce light into the image. Textures chosen to add interest.
The chive flowers were laying on the ground after the heavy rains of the night, so I picked them up and made a few shots...

These lisianthus have lasted really well but are on their way out now...I salvaged a few for a pic today.
I'm really struggling to stay in the game, just hope I can keep going for the next couple of weeks. Once again I apologise for being so behind in commenting.
For the weekly/monthly challenge - Flat lay still life
29/100: 100 x challenge - Flowers
29/100: 100 Flowers 2020
It's strange, I love doing flat lays but when I have to do one for a challenge it suddenly becomes difficult.
This is a birthday card I made for a very dear friend, we don't see each other often but when we do it's like we saw each other the day before. I got the inspiration for the card from a flat lay I did a couple of weeks ago. So thought I would do another flat lay incorporating the card...it's come full circle. The flowers are from my flower delivery last week. They had to make an appearance for the flower challenges. There are also bits from my craft stash...and I wrote the greeting using my recently learned brush stroke lettering...I keep meaning to practise more.

Hobbies.
Pues sí, tengo dos hobbies, la fotografía y la repostería creativa.
Claro que últimamente los tengo bastante abandonados y es que me escasea el tiempo libre.

Macro Monday - In a bottle
#12 in my 100 x challenge - monochrome
This is a tiny bottle and little stars from my craft stash. HMM
Apologies, once again, that I am behind in commenting on your photos. A lot to do to prepare for the arrival of our grandchild. I will attempt catch up asap.
A change of lens for this flat lay. I have always used the Canon 5D and Velvet 56 for my Lensbaby flat lays but I have a new tripod with an arm to hopefully make flat lays easier (we shall see). I used the Canon R6 and the LB composer pro II with double glass II optic. Not sure if it looks a bit flat (no pun intended) but I really like the blur around the edges.
...this is what you get! Our old Lumix died a few years back and recently Rod decided to take this lens apart to see what was inside... Here it is!
We still have half a basket of cherries in the fridge from when we went cherry picking a couple of weeks ago. They kept well, but I did need to sort through them and pick out a few that had turned moldy and throw them out before they made the rest of them bad too.
Have a happy day, everyone!
This gorgeous Blythe doll is Lavendula Babe, thinking about a few of her favorite things.
I sanded down and oiled my photography table top to get rid of several Beer bottle stains (!!!) So it was time for an image. Here's some wooden props I have laying around in a box !
(I've deliberately reduced the DPI / quality)
Another shot using the Orange Hawkweed aka Devil's Paintbrush aka Fox and Cubs (so called because new buds form behind the top flower as if they are cubs being protected by the mother vixen). This is the weed that's taking over my lawn. Here the flowers have been dried/pressed and then shot as a flatlay on a light pad.
