Our Beautiful World

While recently mooching around blog land I discovered a great looking photography challenge over at Our Beautiful World. With the word this week being 'soft', and my newly acquired seed pods collected from a local walk I did last weekend I felt I just had to join in.  The pods are so beautiful - soft grey in colour with a texture of silk velvet - just perfect!

Themes of 2014 - fruit and wellbeing

I've really been enjoying February's theme of fruit for the Themes of 2014 challenge.  

These towers of fruit were my final choice for the challenge, but I've included some of my other ideas below them - you can see how enthusiastic I've been!

Artichokes and Sari Silk

Being lazy can have it's rewards - I didn't get round to cooking this artichoke, but when I came to guiltily throw it away I found it had flowered inside - such a stunning shade of purple!  I've teamed it up with the delicate purples and greys of the sari silk.

I am linking up with Mary over at Mosaic Monday.
