Default In an English country ga-arden! take 2

Too many hours at work leading to health issues have prevented me from posting lately (or even having photos to post) but these are a few from last week.

L'on y danse
L'on y danse

Every time I see fuschia flowers I think of how, as a kid, we would take of all but two of their legs and thrust a bit of stem through their body to look like arms. As an old man I prefer to see them dancing on their branches

A rose is a rose is....lucifer? I saw the face and had to get the shot.

I wanna B LOL Cat

Leo has been trying to get me to do it for ages. He sees lolcats as the start of a great career in showbiz.



Hope you like em

Hi Nathan, Fuchsias have become a recent favorite. I see them in California and have fallen in love. I'm charmed by your desciption of twisiting them into shapes. Aw... Regarding the devil. You do have an active imagination don't you! Regarding the cat. She may make you famous one day. Very cute!

From the cat: She? My genitals have been cropped out at my request bur I would have thought anyone with any sense cold see I was male! Humans are so stupid!

And why would I make him famous? He just presses the button, it's my charisma that majkes the shot!

I stand, sit or kneel corrected! I showed your photo to my kitty girls and they think you are the "cats pyjamas!" BTW Do you abuse your own owner like this? I'd be careful.

beautful photo set nathan.. love the colors and sun highlights in the first... the second has a warmth and realism I like, a real flower , not a perfect one .

the cat looks cool ..the fur on the pavement makes a nice contrast and it has beautiful patterns in the fur.

I hope your feeling better, I always look forward to see what your up to next..I'm glad you were able to share these..

/cheers

Vin
