Agapanthus Seed Heads

From our front garden..........there are only a few flower heads left now.

I may not be around much this weekend as we have family coming to visit from Devon.

Chaos!

Better viewed large, I think.

Feathers

Keith Burton has posted:

I found these feathers in the corner of my garden a few days ago, together with some spots of blood. I'm guessing that one of the neighbourhood cats caught a pigeon :-(

I gathered up some of the clean feathers and decided to make a close up image of them. I hope you like the result.

I think is looks best viewed large. Thanks for looking!

'Phone Macro

A quick shot taken on my phone when I was walking round a local garden centre. I think it's a Dahlia variety, but I'm not sure.

It didn't look like much on the phone, but once I got it up on my laptop, I found I quite liked it. Hope you do too!

Also known as a Snapdragon.

Seeing as how all the flowers in our back garden are dead, my wife kindly let me take this from one of her pots in the front garden to photograph indoors.

Natural light from the window and a textured card as a background.

Couldn't find much inspiration for a photo yesterday, but I eventually found this small feather (about 60cm long) in my garden. Black and white seemed the way to go!

Best viewed large. Thanks for looking ;-)

Sycamore Tree Seed Pods

Keith Burton has posted:

I heard on the TV the other day that these extended heatwave conditions are causing some trees to enter an "early autumn" phase as it was so dry.

Checking in the garden I saw evidence of this on the lawn under my sycamore tree.........lots of seed heads and leaves losing their colour and falling. I brought some indoors to photograph them.

The same is true of some of the other trees nearby. On the plus side, the seed pods and leaves are very photogenic.

There is a shot of one of the leaves in the PiP.

Ladybird

Much prettier than yesterdays spider ;-)

Spotted this one in a neighbours garden and manage to get a couple of shots before it scuttled away. If you look closely you can just see a pair of wings near its mouthpart, which I think means it's was just finishing off an aphid lunch.

There's a shot from a slightly different perspective in the PiP. Thanks for looking!

Edit 4pm: Just realised I forgot to add the PiP. Sorry..!!

Common House Spider

Keith Burton has posted:

Taken indoors. It was climbing up a wall but I've flipped the photo 90 degrees for a better composition and added a grunge-type texture for effect.

After I took the photo it was collected in a spider-catcher suction device and released into the garden.

Macro Poppy Abstract

Keith Burton has posted:

Just for fun, I thought I'd take the photo of the poppy I posted last week and turn it into an abstract. I used the "liquify" tool, which is part of my processing software. I quite like the resulting effect..!!
