A close up of my son’s eye, with the reflection of the kitchen window shelf and plants clealry visible in it.

This vine leaf is tiny – only a few millimetres long – less than 1/2 inch – but it has strongly twisted around the rest of the vine, making a knot that looks like the barbs on barbed wire.

The stamens of these flowers are striped on the ends, making a stark contrast to the white of their stems.

These buds will eventually open to beautiful white flowers, but at this stage are covered in tiny fine hairs, which are soft and flexible. The picture below shows a super close in view of the hairs.

The shape of this flower is very unusual – all lumps and bobbles with delicate curling edges to the petals.

A cluster of small white flowers from my garden, with even tinier spider webs just visible draped over them.
You will have noticed that there have been no new posts here for a long time…. To those of you who are still around and notice this – thank you for still looking at the site.
In February 2011 my father had an emergency hip operation, from which he never really recovered. He died on 13 March 2011. Whilst I still took pictures for all of the last year, it wasn’t as consistently every day as before, and my focus was on dealing with other things, so posting them here stopped completely. I now intend to start posting again, and will post pictures for each day that was missed, initially to catch up to the equivalent point in 2011 as we now are in 2012, then I will post both the 2011 and the 2012 post for each day as the year goes by. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Mushrooms in the garden provide an interesting set of textures. The above shows the surface wet from rain and the below is a mushroom that seems to have been tasted by something and found uninteresting after one bite.

A large raindrop dangles below the edge of a leaf, about to fall.

Just after the rain, a neat row of water drops decorate the underside of a leaf.
