It is always nice to see the snowdrops breaking through. The end of the winter is coming thank goodness!

The new Adobe Camera RAW Texture Slider – The flower
Still having fun with the new Texture Slider in Adobe Camera RAW. It’s a fun tool and it worked well on the flower below. I love taking photographs of flowers with a very narrow depth of field – it makes the flower pop out of the background. The new texture slider gives the image a bit of extra pop!
The Purple Jobs…
The Leaf Map
The veins (?) in the leaf look like a city roadmap.
The Dog Walker
The Not Stinging Nettle
Sue tells me that, whilst the plant/weed shown in the first image below looks like a stinging nettle, it isn’t and you would not be stung if you touched it. I will not be testing this hypothesis. If it looks like a stinging nettle, then it will sting you. I apply the same logic to snakes. If it is a snake, it is poisonous!
For comparison purposes, the image at the bottom of this post is a stinging nettle.
The Strange Growth
I am sure somebody will know what kind of plant (weed?) this is. Spotted near Monnickendam (Netherlands) today. Almost like some kind of alien creature!

I apologise deeply for sweeping away centuries of botanic and taxonomic research when I rename these flowers with my own (silly) name. Â But you do have to admit, they look a little bit like lightbulbs!
