3 Favourites (x2)

This week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge is “picking favourites”. The challenge is to pick three of your photos that you consider to be among your very best shots, in different categories. I found this very hard! I managed to pick 6 photos that caught my eye as I was scrolling through many hundreds of images. So……

Doubled

This week’s Lens-Artist Photo Challenge is ‘Seeing Double’. Mostly they are talking about reflection, but I’m looking at refraction too. Out in the garden the other day, there were a lot of droplets, like these ones on the Crocosmia flower buds. If you look closely you can see refracted upside-down images of my house in……

Way back in January 2020, the light was just gorgeous on these……

Damp Dandelion Clocks

This week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge is ‘All wet’. There are many dandelion clocks (seed heads) in my garden. Some people don’t like dandelions and treat them as weeds, trying to wipe them out from their neat lawns. Not me. Apart from the fact that I like how they look, they are good food for bees……
