The Flower
Photographs, Video and Stuff
The flower from an earlier post but given the neural treatment in Photoshop…
We noticed this small beetle which, somehow, had managed to climb up and into this flower looking, I think, for lunch!
Flowers etc found close to our hotel – the Vritomartis Naturist Resort.
Must be from another planet…surely?
Another strange plant found in Crete…
Nice to have your nuts in a cluster don’t you think?
They look like fireworks don’t they?
The flower that identifies as a Bugs Bunny
Spring seems to start a little later for us here in the north of Scotland. But Spring (thankfully) is nearly here…
It looks like Spring is breaking out…
The winter is nearly behind us thank goodness..
Best viewed if quality set to 1080p (control at bottom of the video image)
It is always nice to see the snowdrops breaking through. The end of the winter is coming thank goodness!
Where the bees and butterflies hang out…
What a bunch of pathetic lickspittles! All dried up and nowhere to go but OUT with the trash!
You don’t get more Scottish than this!
Rose hips grow everywhere here in Scotland at this time of year…
The Woods Today – Richard Broom Photography
Well, we are in Scotland!
It would appear Percy Thrower is channeling through my videos…
Always good to turn one of these over…
More Photoshop Neural Filter sculduggery..(digital doodling).
It’s clever how nature unpacks itself. Brilliant engineering…
Join me for a walk in the woods close to Duff House in Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
It was the colour that caught my eye..
If you go down to the woods today….
We’re firmly back in Scotland!
Coming to get you!
A few more flowers and other wild things for you to enjoy…
My Latin is non-existent!
Well, you do have to admit….
It must be Spring in the UK..
Can you spot the bug?
Grantown-on-Spey in the Cairngorms.
They are here to get you! Be afraid!
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 veins (?) in the leaf look like a city roadmap.
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.
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!
