http://sandraconner.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-3rd-week/ Sandra has shared memories of windows in American schools, which apparently were the same all over back in the day.
Mine is in Topsham, just down the road, this florist always has a great display.
Will you join in this week? I’m sure you have some great window shots!
It never pays for me to think very much. The more I think about contrasts the more confused I become, but I think I have a good eye for colour somehow. I’ve chosen three shots, hope they work and happy to hear if they don’t.
A crazy plant that I have forgotten the name of.
I’ve posted this image before, it’s one that I created from a black and white photo of a large sculpture, so cheating really!
So for this one I have only cropped out some excess green on the left.
Come and join in, there should be some stunning colour to be seen at http://ceeslifephotographyblog.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/cees-fun-foto-challenge-contrasting-colors/
On of my favourite parts of Rosemoor is Lady Anne’s garden. She was the previous owner of Rosemoor, and in 1988 she donated her 8 acre garden and another 32 acres of land to the RHS. For this post I’m choosing some of Septembers loveliest flowers.
So, have you any idea which might be my favourite plant?
If you would like to know what any of the plants are, I remember most of them and I know a blogger who will know the ones I can’t recall!
I’ve posted about Rosemoor before here when I visited in winter for the sculpture exhibition. Being a Royal Horticultural Society garden, it is absolutely beautiful all year round and in late summer they have a ‘hot garden’ with a real wow factor, that my photos don’t really capture. It will give you an idea though and who knows maybe one day you will visit. 
As always click for a bigger view and I’ll be back again soon with some more of the garden.
I’ve posted a lot of flower photos this weekend and in general on Lucid Gypsy so I’m going to restrain myself and just post one more for Ailsa theme. It’s a banana flower and could be taken in many places around the world but this one is in Morocco.
Go visit Ailsa and all the other entries, maybe you will be inspired to join in!
This weeks photo challenge has purple as its theme. Purple is my favourite colour and i wear it all winter. In spring and summer I enjoy purple flowers and keep trying to take the perfect purple flower photo, maybe one day I’ll get there. Meanwhile here are a few for you, so you recognise them all?If you would like to join in and to see some other entries http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/weekly-photo-challenge-purple/ is the place to visit.
After sharing my misery earlier I had to turn it around, I can never be gloomy for long it’s crazy when there is such beauty around. So, a few mindful photos, click to see a bigger view. Happy weekend!
