Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Jude’s chosen the edible garden for her challenge this month. She says we can post a photo of a single tomato plant or a whole rice terrace. There’s nothing quite like digging or picking fruit or veg that you’ve grown yourself, but not everyone has that option.
I’ve long admired the vegetable garden at RHS Rosemoor, here in Devon, and have photographed it in all seasons. Here are some of the munchies I’ve seen there.
Any guesses which one I’d never eat?
Nancy says that,
Going about our day, we often don’t pay attention to what’s directly above us. We’re more likely to focus on what’s in front of us rather than what’s overhead.
But like some of my friends here, I look everywhere when I’m out and about, you never know what your camera will find otherwise.
If I hadn’t looked up when I went to the Alcazar in Seville last year, I would have missed loads of photo opps, like these.
And then there was naughty Neptune!
Are you observant, do yo look up? if you have images to share go visit Nancy at the Daily Post.

I found this really strange photo
Paula at Lost in Translation has chosen ‘Descent’ for her Thursday special theme this week. Try as I might, I can’t think of anything unusual, but this would be a steep descent should you wish to abseil. Let me know if you decide to give it a go!
To join in visit Paula here.

Paula says that mirrors do not always show the true state of things, I agree, until I look into one. Sometimes they can show an alternate reality, I think that’s happening in my photo.
Peace and happiness this weekend everyone.
Sabah, Christmas 2009, at the Sepilok orang-utan rehabilitation centre. I was beginning to feel pretty rough, dizzy in fact and I didn’t get better for a few days. It was annoying because we’d found somewhere to have an English Christmas dinner and I could only watch my friends enjoying it. Before that though, I’d seen a troup of orangs arrive for lunch in the centre. There were lots of long tailed macaques, cashing in on the free tuck. Very cheeky monkeys, who would sneek up behind you to see what they could find. Like the baby orangs they were cute when tiny, but here are a couple of pre-teens.
I don’t know what they were up to but they were definitely partners in mischief!
and then have a nice sit down!
Cheri at the Daily Post has chosen the theme of curves for this weeks photo challenge. I have a friend who likes straight lines in imagery, but I’ll always choose the curves and swirls we find in nature, in any design or art.
I took this first photo a few weeks ago at Coldharbour Mill, in east Devon. It was leaning against a wall at the back of a courtyard and I had to capture it.
Next, there’s a humpy hedge behind these curvy evergreens. Apparently when it was a baby hedge, there was a very harsh winter and it was weighed down by snow. The gardeners tried to repair it, but failed and knowing they’d lost the battle, they decided to allow it to grow it’s own curvy way.
A few weeks ago I posted a black and white version of some William Morris wallpaper,
There were several comments about the original colours, so here it is, colours, curves and even a well placed ceramic plate.
