Thank You

 The theme for this last week of MakroTex is Thank You.

Sad to see it go but very appreciative of having had the opportunity to not only participate, but enjoy the beautiful photographs of others.

A big Thank You and some flowers!

 

June

  For this week's theme of June - a lovely bouquet of flowers from a sweet friend.

Colourful

 Colourful is the theme for this week.

We came across this little church nestled in a corner of the New Forest, 

while we were out for a walk this week.

It had been decorated for an Autumn wedding and I fell in love with

the colours of the floral arrangements.  I only had my phone with me so the photos aren't too good but they are colourful!

August

    

August is the theme this week. 

These beautiful and late flowering Anemone Japonica glow in the evening sunshine, brightening up a dark, shady corner of the garden.

Dicentra in June

June is the theme for this week.

 Dicentra (also known as bleeding heart) is in bloom in the garden. 

 I cut off one of the precious stems as it's been too windy to photograph outdoors - the long arching stems wave about all over the place!

Themes of 2014 - Flowers

The theme for May's challenge was Flowers.

I decided to capture my garden in a jar - it went along with my desire to try new ways of photographing images (new to me anyway), and of moving out of my comfort zone. 

Photographing through glass was a challenge, with reflection problems and many other little problems that I hadn't foreseen - after many 'fails' I finally had a handful of photos that I felt depicted what I wanted to capture.
