Weekending










  • fungi on firewood - I love how it looks like tree rings
  • these Bergenia, are a little weather beaten, but are still flowering bravely and adding some much needed colour to my somewhat sad and sodden winter garden.
  • Liberty and hand quilting - perfect for snuggling under and working on this cold weekend.
  • I joined a photographic group on Flickr, called Macro Monday.  Each Monday they give a new theme to photograph, this week it is black and white flowers. Between showers, I bundled up and went for a walk around my neighbourhood to see what I could find to experiment with. It is quite amazing how different the flowers look in each option, and what colour brings to a picture.

    Lovely photos and it was interesting to see the black and white version of your flowers; I've never thought of trying that.

    Your photos of flowers are always beautiful Julie! You must live in a delightfully pretty place, and it's not even Spring yet! How fun to join a new group too!

    I have always been super fascinated by fungi in the forest... I don't think that it has to be a flower to be beautiful. It's those up close details that are just so amazing that very few often take the time to just stop and enjoy them.

    Lovely photos, Julie!! The fungi photo is amazing. I hope to spot one next time I visit the woods. Your photo captured the colours so beautifully. Thank you so much for linking up on Wandering Camera.

    A gorgeous collection of photos. You've captured the most beautiful colours in your flowers and fabrics and I also like the black and white versions you've included :)
