This week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post asks us to look at perspective…
“Photos aren’t objective – they show what we want them to show”
Up close with a Dandelion…
… which was taken out in a field a little further away
A shelter down by the sea
Train speeding past… taken through some railings by the track!
Viewing it up close this Tulip shot could have been taken out in a field somewhere…
… when actually it’s in a vase in my front room!
A different perspective of a small section of my son’s electric guitar
The corner of a magazine hanging over the edge of a table

For this weeks challenge, Layers I decided to take some photos of things around my home… it’s amazing how many different layers can be found in ordinary everyday stuff!
Layers of magazine pages
Grab a cuppa & sift through the layers of a magazine…
Layers of coasters
Layers of discs
Layers of Post-it notes!
An old shed door & layers of peeling paint!

I had fun with this weeks photo challenge it made me think outside the box! Couldn’t resist this, inside the lens…
Books on the bookshelf inside one of my lenses on the arm of the sofa!
Cropped image of the one above showing books, upside down inside the lens!

The photos below were taken on a beach in Cornwall a few weeks ago. I was focusing on the texture at the time but I think these go well with this weeks photo challenge theme…
The top of a post in the fence bordering the beach
Same fence… different post!
I love the texture that the elements have etched and carved into the wood over the years

Every year when I see the first Bee of Spring I get really excited… Summer’s on the way! After, what seems like the longest Winter ever, I was more happy than ever to see this wonderful busy Bee collecting pollen from the blossom…
I heard the buzz before I saw the bee…
Bumbling about his busy afternoon…
perfect delicate wings…
My first bee of Spring… wonderful!
