Good morning from a cool sunny Hastings morning.
I am a bit late today as I had to drive my son to EIT, his college. He gave me a heart attack, or at least gave me a huge fright when he opened his door on me. I had thought he had already gone, but no, he had slept through his alarm. I got him there with 1 minute to spare. It was a complete waste of time as I grabbed my camera and went to Cornwall Park on the way home. I was in 7th heaven. Bliss.
So onto Jennifer’s challenge which this week is saffron.
One Word Photo Challenge: Saffron
Actually this photo would have been good for last week’s challenge of seafoam.
This is an older photo I found this morning. I tweaked around with it, sharpenening and darkening the middle tones and I think it is a stronger photo for it.

Thanks for visiting.
I have been seeing a lot of Saffron entries. I had never thought of it as a color. It sounds better than just plain yellow. 🙂

It is actually the most expensive spice to use in cooking.

Probably why I have never used it, but I have seen it on the shelves.

Is it really? Good to know.

Saffron is so expensive as it takes an awful lot of flowers just to get a smidgen of the spice. Much more than extracting the essence from rose petals.

Such pretty flowers! It would have worked well for seafoam, like you said, but I love the saffron with the seafoam. Lucky to get him to school with 1 minute to spare! Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks Jennifer. I don’t mind having to drive. I just take my camera with me and take photos that I normally wouldn’t take.
