Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
This month Jude wants to see macros or close ups of anything you’d find in the garden, for her monthly Garden Challenge. I can’t remember what was going on here, if this is one bug or two, so if you have any ideas, please let me know. I’m hoping that Sonel may have the answer, some kind of mantis perhaps?

Michelle W, at the WordPress Daily Post says,
This week, share an image inspired by dinnertime — whether you take a photo of food or simply shoot during the evening hours is up to you!

I’m not sure if it’s still Thursday in Paula land? Anyway this weeks special theme for her colour photo challenge at Lost in Translation, is three of a kind.
An olive grove trail
winds towards the azure sea
shall we wander there?
Jude wants close ups or macros of anything in the garden this month, I hope my ‘tree’ close up amuses her!
hite Sunday, DelicatePaula at Lost in Translation has picked the theme of delicate for her Black and White Sunday challenge. Read what she says about the possible photographic interpretations of the word here.
My photo was taken at the tomb of King Midas, Gordion in the heart of Turkey.
It’s possible that this pot is Phrygian, from the 9th century BC.
Paula has a black and white challenge each Sunday. We have two days left to post for this weeks theme, ‘Convergence’, so I’m just in time. One of the things she suggested was a double exposure, this is my first subtle attempt at that.
Climate change is an ever increasing threat to our bees and without them what will the future bring?
Please grow bee friendly plants and make your gardens a haven for them. The bumble bee trust will give you some ideas.
Bold sunrise promise

summer’s on the way
Or not as the case may be.
Jude’s theme this month is macro and I hoped to take some photos yesterday but the weather was dire. I’ve tried again on my way and when I got home from work. It was breezy, that’s my excuse anyway!
I wonder if you can tell which are phone shots and which are DSLR?
