Lens-Artists Challenge #246 – Still Life

20 Replies

For this week’s Still Life challenge I have a set of quite random photographs. Many thanks to Patti for this week’s theme. To start a birthday cake.

Next a chicken created by my daughter from marbles.

Next some soft toys in a large mug.

And finally, an image of some flowers that I manipulated slightly.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #245 – Environments

Oh I remember reading the story Tina mentions in her post, to my kids, when they were much younger. And I am that country mouse for sure. There is so much to enjoy in the countryside, the quiet being one of the best things. Here in Ireland we have so much lush green too – so peaceful and restorative. The wildflowers and wildlife are just the icing on the cake.

Some glowing moments images for this week’s phot challenge. Dandelions are just little glowing blobs of sunshine this time of year and great for pollinators too.

Wild cherry blossom caught in the evening sun also gives a wonderful bright glow.

And in the flower garden, the fire-like red glow of tulips.
