…..as autumn approaches many shrubs are starting to bear fruit
This berry, according to Random Jottings is edible in small quantities but may cause vomiting and diarrhoea. Best not to eat it but the beautiful colour may tempt you.
…..technically not at flower but this burr is said to be the inspiration for velcro

…. an on-line assignment that involves taking photos that are not focused
In my Summer Camp art course I’ve painted with watercolour and acrylic, created drawings using oil pastels and pencil, sculpted with wire and made birds from scraps of paper. In today’s assignment I had to take my camera and walk about the neighbourhood and look for things I wouldn’t normally photograph and then snap them out of focus. The idea is to create interesting lines and shapes without recognizing what the object is.
Here is a gallery of some of my shots.
If you’d like more information about the on-line courses that I’ve taken with Carla Sonheim check out her blog here.
