I'm not very interested in photographing people. :-)<br /><br />That blue butterfly image has an added texture - I haven't learned how to do it the fancy way on Photoshop - just used Befunky which is great for instant effects and they have now added textures which is really fun to play around with.<br /><br />You could always come and be here in reality and you could have helped me this week shifting and stacking firewood, planting out brassicas, making tomato sauce and jam and loads of watering my parched garden, all the fairly dull activities in between finding exciting critters etc ;-) But I know what your reply would be. :-)Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-70925634414051139542013-09-11T16:24:24.158+02:002013-09-11T16:24:24.158+02:00Thanks for sharing your little reunion with us! Lo...Thanks for sharing your little reunion with us! Loved the Ducks reaction to the gull. So funny. All your images were great but of course I love the critters the most. The dragonfly shot is excellent and I especially loved the one you snuck in from your previous trip. That blue against that beautiful dried grass is gorgeous!<br /><br />Always fun to be a fly on the wall during your activities :-)Mariannehttp://ezpixels.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-80651696994699633062013-09-11T08:41:37.853+02:002013-09-11T08:41:37.853+02:00Sounds like you are back home now Nick and you had...Sounds like you are back home now Nick and you had the same weather no doubt!

Gaura dies here inland as it isn't very hardy! Ditto flowering sage. So many plants I'd like to have but the climate is too cold for them. I have to go to the coast to see these exotics instead. :-)Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-86492431376527822602013-09-09T13:35:31.332+02:002013-09-09T13:35:31.332+02:00Thanks Philippa - my mum always complains that it ...Thanks Philippa - my mum always complains that it always rains when she visits - well she's only been about 3 times apart from at Xmas and won't come except in spring or late summer because it might be too hot!
