This week imac chose our little header challenge and he decided that we should all show a postcard from where we live. Well as those of you who are regular readers know I live in Lincolnshire in England. Lincolnshire is renowned for its wide open flat farm land, hence the image in the header.
Another thing you will see lots of around Lincolnshire (well in Spring anyway) are Daffodils and Tulips as they are one of the biggest producers of the flowers and bulbs in Europe.
The free range poultry business is growing rapidly too both commercially and with individual families hence the chicken.
So there you have my postcard from rural Lincolnshire. I could have gone in to on of the towns and told you all about that but I live 10 miles from the closest one so rural Lincolnshire seemed more appropriate.
Have a look to see what postcards the other headbangers have posted. Follow their links on my right hand menu bar.
This weeks challenge is Pink, which for me was quite fortunate as our pink roses are just coming into bloom in our back garden…
complete in this photograph you can see its own little bug just crawling out from inside the rose.
My dad likes to try his hand at photography too and as you can see from the above picture which is his, he’s got a good eye and takes a good photo.
There’s a profusion of pink in this photo for you to feast your eyes on, a real wow of a plant [another of my dads photos].
The photo I’ve chosen to use for my header is of the roses in our back garden some fully open and some just starting to open from bud. Let me know what you think.
Remember to drop in on the other headbangers to see their Pink themed headers, just follow their links at the top of my right hand menu bar.
Spring has officially arrived in Lincolnshire as the daffodils are all starting to bloom.
So out I went with my camera to get a few shots of the beautiful blooms.
The sun was out too so it was shining through the petals making them glow.
Which makes a nice welcome home as they are out all along the verge in front of our hedge.
We also have miniature daffodils out in one of our tubs next to the front door…
So my friend Lanny loves the Winter months the best but for me Spring is the magical time of the year, especially for photography. The light is great for photography, bright but not overpowering perfect for taking lots of photos.
This last one is against the brick of the house not sure if it works but I thought I’d include it anyway and see what you think. Works or doesn’t work?
