My first attempt at photographing snowdrops this year. After a rainy morning, soft sunlight filtered through the trees of the forest in the afternoon. Happy two hours of peace and quiet.

Thank you very much for your interest and all the kind comments - I appreciate them all.

Hello everyone,

This large mass of flowers caught my eye when I was visiting a local park.

For Sliders Sunday, I tweaked the colours and added texture in Topaz Studio. HSS!

Despite (or perhaps because) of the lockdown I had some success growing these lilies in a wooden tub .The tub itself managed to grow some bracket fungi on its walls.

A seed head of what I call cobbler's pegs, Bidens pilosa. It is a weed that has many other common names in English: beggar's tick, beggar-ticks, hairy beggar-ticks, black-jack, broom stick, broom stuff, devil's needles, hairy bidens, Spanish needle, farmers friend and devil's pitchfork, as well as many other common names in other languages.

It is little wonder that the seeds stick to clothes. For more information about this plant see here.

For the Macro Mondays theme: spiky. The width of the photo is 1 inch.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

It’s that time to go and see what’s at the local pumpkin patch, not sure if there will be much trick or treating this year due to COVID-19, but figured it would still make for a nice photo...wonderful Halloween fun.

Red Berries in Autumn

A row of Alliums at my local garden centre I was able to visit again :)

And this was kind off like my "goodbye to the lake part of our little road trip" shot. It was a magical place indeed, that will never cease to amaze me, no matter how many times I'll ever be there. Hope you enjoyed my little presentation, as much as I did making it. And one last note. The answer to the question "Is the grass greener there or here", hopefully is answered by now. Cause it was as green as it can get ... everywhere!!! :-)

It was a windy day and the dragonfly was clinging tightly to the branch as it vibrated back and forth. I fired a burst of shots and later merged them in Photoshop to create this image for Wing Wednesday, with added toning applied.

Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related plants also share the name daisy, so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy. Historically, it has also been commonly known as bruisewort and occasionally woundwort. Bellis perennis is native to western, central and northern Europe, but widely naturalised in most temperate regions including the Americas and Australasia. It is a perennial herbaceous plant with short creeping rhizomes and rosettes of small rounded or spoon-shaped leaves that are from 2–5 cm long and grow flat to the ground. The flowerheads are composite, in the form of a pseudanthium, consisting of many sessile flowers about 2–3 cm in diameter, with white ray florets (often tipped red) and yellow disc florets. 5952

A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 50605

Rhodanthe chlorocephala is a native Australian daisy belonging to the family Asteraceae. It is widely grown due to its attractive flowers and foliage, and because it’s hardy, adaptable and provides a good, fast ground cover. The flowers are long-lived and dry well. Rhodanthe chlorocephala subspecies rosea is the most widely grown subspecies and is commonly known as “Pink and White Everlasting”, “Rosy Sunray”, “Pink Paper-daisy” and “Rosy Everlasting”. It grows naturally in the south of Western Australia extending into South Australia. Rhodanthe chlorocephala subsp. rosea is an erect annual herb 20-60cm high with clumps of glabrous (hairless) grey-green stems and leaves 1-6cm in length. It has a large single flowering head at the tip of each stem. Flower heads grow to 6cm diameter, gradually decreasing as the flowering season progresses. The color of the bracts varies from deep pink (almost red) through pale pink to pure white, with a yellow or black centre. 5843
