Colours of 2015 - Raspberry Part 2

Despite the colour raspberry being so difficult this month for the Colours of 2015 photography challenge, I couldn't quite let go of it, and decided to continue with a slightly more vintage feel.  You can see my first set of raspberry pink photos here.

Colours of 2015 - Raspberry

For February our chosen colour for the Facebook photography challenge was Raspberry.  This is not a colour I have around me or one that I usually work with in my art, so I knew it was going to be tough.  However, my love of food came to the rescue and I found chocolate mini eggs wrapped in beautiful dark pink foil, dark chocolate covered in raspberries, strawberries and rose petals, some raspberry flavoured macaroons, and cupcake cases in bright contrasting colours with a hint of raspberry pink!  

Colours of 2015 - White

The photographic challenge I've been taking part in has changed from themes to colours for this year.  January's colour is white and as I'm pretty certain we won't be getting snow during the warmest January we've had since records began I have found a collection of little treasured objects with a white theme instead.

I am linking up with Mosaic Monday over at Lavender Cottage this week.

Our Beautiful World

This week I thought I would link up with Our Beautiful World - the theme is prickly.  Sea Holly is such a beautiful plant - I love that shade of blue, but it has to have the sharpest prickles in the garden!

Themes of 2014 - Pumpkins, Harvest

For October's challenge we were given the subject of pumpkins and harvest.  I decided to go out into the forest and see what might be ready to be harvested - I didn't find the crab apples I was expecting to, but I did come back with a bag full of sweet chestnuts - delicious!
  

Themes of 2014 - Tea Coffee and Comfort

Having taken the summer months off from the challenge I decided to join in with September's theme of Tea Coffee & Comfort.  I found the brown sugar crystals in my local supermarket a long time ago but I knew I'd find a photo opportunity for them eventually!

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.
