Another tulip from my visit to Wrest Park. This is the photo I used for the previous abstract image.
I added a couple of my own textures.

lovely cut-leaf mallows - seen on a walk around the neighbourhood in a natural meadow along a tram (streetcar) line
It was very windy yesterday evening, so I am glad I could 'freeze' the blossoms with a fast shutterspeed
The blossoms and seeds of the cut-leaf mallow are edible - you can colour / decorate salad with them for example :)
Happy Monday and have a pleasant week ahead !!

Rosen-Malven - gesehen bei einem Sonntagsspaziergang "um den Block" auf einer naturbelassenen Wiese entlang einer Straßenbahntrasse ... hier gab es genug "Futter" für Bienchen :)
Die Blüten und Samen der Rosen-Malve können übrigens gegessen werden ... man kann zum Beispiel Salate damit verzieren
Ich wünsche euch eine angenehme neue Woche !!
For Looking close on Friday - My name in black and white.
I haven't been practising my brush stroke lettering lately so thought I'd give it a go for this theme. Black ink on a white tag, that I made.
Enjoy your weekend and stay safe
... and long-ago times. I imagined walking in an old and abandoned palace garden on a tropical island :-)
While walking in our neighbourhood park, I took a photo with an open aperture for a shallow depth of field to create a dreamy impression and added a grungy filter to make it more mysterious.
Happy slider Sunday ... HSS!
Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday
Played around with my camera with a closeup lens in front. Just photographed what was in front of me on my desk :)
94/100: 100 x challenge - Flowers
100 Flowers 2020
I'm going back through my reserves and outtakes from this year, in order to try to complete the flower challenges.
The focus is in the wrong place on this which is why I didn't use it at the time I took it. I liked the image enough to keep it so am now posting it.
My mojo is still missing. I don't think it has ever gone AWOL for quite so long before, I am hoping it will return in the New Year.
I haven't been on Flickr much lately so haven't been able keep up with commenting I'm afraid.
Happy Fenced Friday my Flickr Friends!

For Crazy Tuesday - Gift
Anything goes 2021 - Cosy at home
I crocheted some mug cosies as gifts for Christmas and kept this one for myself.
I hope you all had a very happy Christmas. We managed to have a lovely time in spite of one son and daughter-in-law unable to join us due to Covid. They are feeling a lot better and out of isolation now. Our youngest son and family were with us on Christmas day and he has since tested positive so we are keeping our fingers crossed that we don't go down with it. I'm afraid this is life now :(
Lensbaby Velvet 56
I used a lamp to the right with a diffuser, and decided against reflecting light from the left to heighten the side light. The background is a holographic gift bag I picked up a couple of weeks ago. I think I could have done better with this one, but do like the bokeh effect of the bag...I knew it would come in useful!

As much as possible, I'll try to upload 2 photos each day from now on. :-) One good thing about having a Pro account, I'm not limited to 200 photos showing in my stream hehehe. With at least 12 hours interval of course.
Have a great day everyone!
Taken a year earlier than the previous photo and on a D500 which has a crop sensor so an M42 adapter used that was one of the deep ones so as to avoid mirror slap The info provided in the exif of course doesn't say which lens but gives 00-00 re aperture ect but the non CPU info says it is a taken with a 50mm 1.8 lens so this was taken with either the CZ Pancolar or the Pentacon mm... My folder subtitle just says Crocus and a fat lot of good that is. It is a vintage lens on a crop sensor camera and someone may recognise the characteristics. Incidentally this was taken a day short of 3 weeks later in the year than the previous shot so maybe a harsher longer winter in 2018 than 2019 and this year the Crocus in this particular park are late flowering. The previous shower did give some different bokeh highlights too..
Such a lovely colour to this low growing, spreading variety of a succulent plant with parentage within the Sedum genus. It presents as a beautiful mat of bright lime-green foliage resembling moss. The leaves are tender and soft.
It also produces masses of bright yellow flowers in spring.
Here, I chose to focus on one area with heavy depth of field.
This is Sedum var. Goldilocks, growing to 10 cm in height and a spread of around 45 cm in diameter.

Day 133/365:
I was going to use my poppy again today until I noticed the allium poking their heads out. I popped this into Nik Software and used the double exposure preset. I rather liked the effect.
Another wet knees, tripod and caffeine morning photo.
We planted three small perennial plants of Physalis alkekengi, (aka bladder cherry, Chinese lantern, Japanese-lantern, strawberry, groundcherry, or winter cherry). I love the cheery orangish lantern-shaped paper-like pod or husk around each bright round seed.
Now we have new plants in addition to those we planted in 2017. A fun photo from this morning.
Day 187/365:
Lensbaby Velvet 56 wide open for a soft and dreamy look. This self seeded allium that sprung up in our lavender, was a very pleasant surprise. It has now gone to seed but hopefully will surprise us again next year.
I desaturated the image and then added some colour with a couple of textures (my own).

Day 217/365:
Our little grandson is going to be a big brother in a few weeks time. I thought it would be cute to get a photo of him holding these socks. This wasn't intended to be my photo of the day but I didn't manage to get another shot.

#22 - 100 x challenge - Lensbaby
I captured this one yesterday, looking through the window, just before I went outside to take the previous image with the sky.
Lensbaby Velvet 56 and Omni filter (the rainbow effect to the left) I love the way the sun catches it.

Day 339/365:
Macro Monday - Crack
One of my (many) dried roses which is quite crackled and has an actual crack in one of the petals, on a vintage book with a cracked spine.
I was going to try to do a festive image every day but the light here is appalling at the moment and I hadn't got anything in mind but had this idea for the MM theme...hope it's 'cracked' enough. HMM
15/30: April 2021: A month in 30 pictures
Yesterday's violets in an eggshell on white muslin. I always like to get more than one use from a prop, especially flowers. They wilted slightly as I didn't put water in the eggshell at first.
