Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: A Single Flower
Well three to be precise. We are asked to show off our photos of a flower thsi week and also given some tips on capturing them. I’ve included one of Cee’s favourites, a dahlia, but it was taken with my mobile. 
I love the shape and texture of Nigella 
And a less common but beautiful Toad Lily

Henry 8th!
These two photos are for Jo at http://jobryantnz.wordpress.com/ because I told her a porkie a few days ago. I said that I couldn’t take a photo of Henry 8th, but I could!

Travel Theme: On Display
Ailsa said ‘No matter where you go, there’s always something for sale somewhere. The items on display in local stores are often evocative of the flavours and aesthetics of the culture you’re in and make for really interesting photographs.’ The things I have photographed are not for sale but displayed in the Museum of Anatolian Civilisation in Ankara, I’m sure that still counts.
Would you like to join in? call in at Ailsa’s Place she would love to see you.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Big
New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
This week the challenge is big and I almost gave up but then remembered these big sculptures in Bath. 
I love them!
Apologies, I’m going to have a busy weekend so won’t be around to visit everyone!
Thursday’s Windows
It’s Thursday so it’s time for Sandra’s Window Challenge and I’m pleased to show you this one from Exeter Quay. This building was originally built as the sign says in 1780 as a cotton mill but by 1834 it was a paper mill. It is now divided up into waterfront flats and in front there are some remains of industrial equipment, painted green and a nice touch of history. It’s the window I like best, and wonder why it was made that shape. The stone is most likely from Heavitree Quarry which was still in use when I was a child.
Join in at http://sandraconner.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-week-4/ I’m sure you have some lovely window photos.
Wordless Wednesday
Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge: Cars and Trucks
I like cars but I worked in the motor trade for twenty years and had my fill of them to be honest. These days as long as Sadie gets me there I’m happy. I do like to photograph them though and here are some of my favourites. 
I’ve no idea, perhaps there are some enthusiasts out there?
Classy but . . .
This is the best! Here I am getting into this sexy little number near Milan – in my dreams! Have a look at Cee’s stunning photo’s here and get some ideas about vehicle photography.
Jake’s Sunday post: Delicious
I wonder how many similar photos to mine there will be this week! I have just been for a walk by the river and decided to finish with a hot drink in the Coffee Cellar on the quay.
They always have divine home made cakes, but I managed to resist this time! Inside is lovely, they have comfy sofas and dogs are welcome but today was just warm enough to sit outside and people watch. Another other nice thing about the Coffee Cellar is that when they make you hot chocolate the put the bit that won’t fit into your cup into a little jug. My friend had the full works with cream, for me it’s just the marshmallows.
Thanks Jake for your DELICIOUS challenge!
