160/365v2 Going, Going, Gone

I really should have paid more attention to this plant when I was photographing it…I have no idea what it is and all the pictures I have of it are these close up shots. Never mind, thought they made a pretty interesting triptych anyway.

156/365v2 Daisy

I took a stroll down the Flitch Way this afternoon, in particular the Dunmow Cutting part of it. I was looking for a specific shot, but didn’t find it, but came home with this shot of a rather large daisy.

113/365v2 New Shoots

Spring keeps pushing on and a quick turn around the garden with the macro lens brought together a number of good images. This one got the Debbie vote for today’s photo of the day – leaves sprouting from a bud. As a special bonus, here are a couple of other

It was pleasant over lunchtime today so we popped out into the garden to take some pictures of my wife’s latest kniting creation before it was parcelled uo and sent off to its new owner. Whilst waiting for her to reposition the garment I took a few shots of the
