No. 90: Spooky tree

The start of this weeks abstract theme, and I took a walk through the park to see what I pictures I could get and seeing these trees bathed in the evening sun. There was no Photoshop used in this shot, I simply kept the shutter speed low and zoomed out. The effect is mad on your eyes. I like the movement created by the zoom blur....and also the face in the centre of the tree that I've just noticed as I'm writing this post, can you spot it? Spooky.

'til tomorrow......

No. 89: Storming end to the week!

This is the last photo for this weeks theme of macro shots. I'd bought some Star Wars Lego for the girls to play with....honestly, not for me (well maybe a little, as I ended up taking over building the speeder that came with this feller). Next week I'm planning on going a bit abstract so...

No. 88: Mint photo!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Mint Aero, it's so nice. As you can imagine the subject in this picture did not last long. After a hard day in the garden building the extension to the decking area. I was a little pushed for what to photograph today until Ruth came to the rescue with this chocolatey delight.

'til tomorrow...............

No. 87: Weed seed.

Another working week over and when I pulled up on the drive I spotted this Dandelion about to spread its seed everywhere (oo-er). I thought it better to bring it in and take its picture. More close up stuff to come.

No. 86: Fruity pic'

Just a quick one tonight; here's a photo of the worlds most fiddly fruit, the Pomegranate. It didn't take too long to set up and shoot, but now I have two halves of a Pomegranate I don't know what to do with now.

'til tomorrow...........

No. 85: Snail snap

I found this little fella resting on our garden fence and thought I'd better take a closer look! He was a bit shy but he did eventually poke is eyes out to have a mooch around. I hope I can find more characters like him for the rest of the week.

No. 84: Leaf it up to the kids

The second day of using my Macro lens, I thought that I'd take the dog for a walk and get the kids foraging for stuff in the park. As you can guess (and not wanting to stereotype), with having two girls they wanted to do was pick as many flowers as they could but as I have a few flower shots, I wanted them to try and find leaves, seeds or anything else that was as interesting as flowers. The girls loved getting out there amongst nature and it made them look closely at the wildlife that is on their doorstep. Bring on the bugs!

'til tomorrow...
