Store cupboard 1: pictures

I really should sort out my picture folders, get the last couple of years' worth stored on DVD, or something. No, I don't have one of those nifty hard drive things. I started a whole load of different themed discs, you know, trees, flowers, landscapes. Don't bother trying is my advice, you'll never keep up. I sometimes get round to shunting them into folders labelled by month, but that's rather out of sight out of mind...

Anyway, for an undemanding Saturday night post, and by way of beginning to sort through, here's a baker's dozen of old pictures, most at least a couple of years old now. Captions below pictures, I never know what's correct like that. Above or below, what do you do?


A grapevine and bindweed in a sheltered corner.



Spring sun through a mullein leaf. Or maybe a foxglove.

This in the butterfly house in Honfleur, I think,

All of the above were taken on a winter day in the arboretum with the little camera; just ivy, moss, a phormium,not much else about.

Hydrangeas. Always hydrangeas. Funny to think Hortense was a popular name once...

Why?

Decay, of wood and metal. Nature opens the closed.


And lastly, a Picasa double exposure collage. I love making these, but haven't for a while. Another thing to get back to.
Have a good Sunday.
