On The Pond

Play Time

I had a great time..... after they finally stopped making me wait for it! Grrrrr!

THEY took this pic on the sports setting while I was running... good innit?

Toby

Toby wanted to say Hi to Sienna in New York and Herr Schnauzer in Swindon. Hello there!

Baby frog or newt?

OK... so who knows which it is? Is it a frog still with it's tadpole tail or is it a baby newt?

Damsel Flies

Unbridled passion on the lilly pads!

Foxgloves in the wood

The edge of the wood

Had a day out in Hertfordshire today.

Seamless tiles manipulation

Manipulated

Thought this one was quite good fun.

Peony

I love these luscious peonies. They have lasted longer than usual this year... which is nice.

More fun

This one was done with the red/yellow rose I showed a couple of days ago.

Bit of Fun

I had a bit of fun with yesterday's image!

Another Beauty

This is one of the most reliable of my roses and now that it has started flowering it will do so all summer long. It has the most heavenly scent. No idea what it is but it has been here since before I came 30 years ago!

Beautiful Rose

I think this is a gorgeous rose but I can't remember it's name... I think it is the name of an Opera.... anyone else know?

Another Hundertwasserish sort of a day!

I did this on an EG dayclass yesterday. This time it is on fabric and needs some stitching. The squares in those grids have bright colours in them... a bit lost on this scale.

Lesley- Multimedia Queen!

Taken at an EG class on making backgrounds today.

WIP from other students in the class

These are two samples of work in progress from other students in the Bobby Britnell class. (I asked permission)

Work in Progress

An early version of some work I started in Bobby Britnell class on Tuesday. Using Hundertwasser as source material. The B/W photcopy at LHS belongs to the lady sitting next to me.

Transformation

Yesterdays bland image transformed. Looks really delicate doesn't it?

What have we here then?

Cotinus in the sun

As always, you can click to enlarge my photos.

Feeeling Spiky!

First on the bush

I think this is an Alexandra rose.

Up close again!

This is especially for Jordi!

Luv Ya!

Another of Mr Next Door's roses!

Up close and personal!

See the little insect? That hand looks a bit sinister too! Like a dead hand!

Mock Orange Blossom Flowers

Philadelphus Coronarus Aureus in Flower. I showed the whole shrub a day or two ago.

Blast from the past!

I found this today. It is the class samples from the last class I did with Val Campbell-Harding in September 2005 at the Earnley Concourse.

These are Chinese style tassels. I really miss both her and her wonderful classes.

Strawberry Regret

I didn't buy any!
