I’ve been warching the growth of this “weed” for a few weeks now. Absolutely no idea what it is but I knew it would make a nice macro shot. For a little bit of difference I’ve used some bracken to difuse the image which I think works quite well.
We went for a walf through the rather lovely Hockley Woods today. Just outside Southend, it’s always surprising where you can find Sites of Special Scientific Interest, which this is one of. There were butterflies galore and I was rather kicking myself that I had left the macro lens in

I had some fun in the kitchen with some abstract shots which you can see below, but today’s shot is from the garden again. Debbie’s gone to bed so I can’t tell you what plant this is, but that doesn’t really matter…it’s pretty evil looking and reminds me of the
