Good morning from a chilly Hastings day. Winter has arrived in New Zealand. Yesterday we had a lot of rain, but also sunshine but it never really warmed up. The South Island is covered in snow. Today we are expected to be cold. So yesterday I made a point of buying matches and a little bit of firewood as we have absolutely no form of heating at all. Only a woodburner. Last year we had a heat pump as well as a wood pellet fire which was a lot more economical.
So for Sally’s challenge at Lens and Pens by Sally I have gone for some bright fiery colours of this flower that was creeping over the fence.

Thanks for visiting.
Well done, one and four are lovely abstractions made possible by the macro view and your composition. Happy Photo Challenge.

Thanks so much Sally. The blooms didn’t last long so I dropped tools to make sure I captured them.

Those photos and those colors should have cheered your day immensely, Raewyn. I like them all and I like your new signature (which isn’t new today, I suppose, but I’m commenting on it today.) 🙂

Thanks, I am trying out new signatures with Photoshop – start small and work my way up.

Did you buy Photoshop or do you have the free version?

I have Photoshop CC which is a monthly subscription. I am hoping that Lightroom is an online platform and that my photos are safe online with them. I am spending hours uploading them on my external hard drive as at some stage I need a new computer.

I always struggle with macros. The first photo look like big lips 🙂

Maybe I should approach Mick Jagger – I think these photos give him a run for his money
