Spot the difference

Three images, one subject, two different cameras...

Can you tell which of the images was shot with a DSLR and which with a compact camera?

You shall not waste!

There are some wonderful flowers on our courgette plants this year...

Courgette Flowers

Courgette Flowers
Really must make more of an effort to use them instead of letting them go to waste. Never tried stuffing courgette flowers myself, but I think now might be a good time to start. 😉

Candy Striped

Saw these a couple of days ago and the colour of the red and white petals reminded me so much of the hard peppermint rock we used to get from the seaside shops here in the UK I simply had to photograph them. 


Back in the day the sticks of rock were white with a pink outer crust and the name of the seaside town would be written through the middle...


It seems these days single colour is a thing of the past... you can even get personalised rock with your name/logo in it and as for flavours, well how about 'Beer Flavour?' No, it doesn't appeal to me either!

My Valentine's gift to you

Since today is St. Valentine's Day I thought I'd dedicate a blog post to something kind of romantic, Mother Nature's own little display of love and affection.

Hearts & Flowers
Well it makes a change from the usual red roses doesn't it? And I'm not lining the pockets of the Gift Card industry who created the whole Valentine's nonsense! 💘

Pretty in Pink

I noticed these hollyhocks while I was walking Tilly this morning and couldn't resist grabbing a couple of images...




Hollyhocks seem to have fallen out of favour with gardeners these days, which is a bit of a shame. These girls look okay to me.
