A semi-abstract painting of allium flower heads for today’s Flower of the Day and Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Abstracts 🙂
Abstract Allium

Large Tree from the Bottom Up
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is asking for anything large – so here is an unusual view of a large tree, taken from the very bottom looking straight up the trunk towards the branches 🙂
‘Growing’ a Crochet Blanket
OK so it’s maybe a bit off at a tangent, but I often feel like a home-made crochet blanket is something that I ‘grow’ on the crochet hook – it starts off small then gets longer and longer until finally, it’s done! 🙂
Hand Made
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week has the topic of hands and paws. So here is my right hand holding the crochet hook I’m using to make my new blanket. Of course, without my left hand to help pass the yarn over the hook I’m not technically actively crocheting at the precise moment of taking the pic, so it’s a bit of a fudge on an action shot – but it is actually my hand posed (and poised) in the process of creating a hand made item! 🙂
Weathered Wharf
A weathered wharf on the bayou for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week 🙂
Pot Hole
Underneath the multiple layers of disintegrating tarmac on this city back-street, it’s possible to see the original road surface of granite setts still sitting perfectly in place.
I’m old enough to remember when driving over city streets like this one meant car tires rumbling loudly over the regular pattern of smooth-worn stones making a very distinctive sound, so it’s nice to see that underneath the modern road surface they still exist after all these years!
This particular pot-hole is actually quite deep so hopefully will be repaired soon, but is surprisingly circular in shape so I captured it with my phone camera while I still could 🙂
Beach Stones
Beautifully rounded beach stones, smoothed and textured by the tumbling of the waves and collected as we walked along the shore – a lovely (if slightly different) way to be reminded of nature’s beauty 🙂
Washing Up Water
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week asks for something you make use of every day, so I wanted to find something a bit different…
This is my un-emptied kitchen sink washing up water sitting in a grey plastic basin, surface vibrating gently as the washing machine underneath the counter was building up to its fast spin. I grabbed my phone and captured the shapes made, and was really happy with the effect!
Definitely something I use every day – well, not the same water, obviously, but the basin remains the same 🙂
City Structures: Inverness
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week asks for city structures, so here is a view of the City of Inverness in the North of Scotland, taken from the River Ness. Within this view we have several buildings including businesses and homes, a couple of churches and a castle, and a road bridge crossing the river, taken tonight on my way home from work 🙂
Hostas Unfurling
Looking down on my hostas unfurling themselves as they push up through the soil – perfect for this week’s Cees Fun Foto Challenge with the topic of Crooked or Squiggly lines 🙂
