The image for this post is a seed head from a Clematis plant. Quite difficult to photograph through the tangle of hairs, I loved the contrasting soft and hard structures within 😀

A tree within a leaf.
Hello everyone, I trust everyone has had a good week 🙂 The image I am sharing today is of the back of a leaf beautifully lit by the low autumn sunshine. The leaf was lying on a path and the fluffy texture and pattern are what caught my eye initially, the veins reminding me of a tree.
Down to the wire…
Hello everyone, I trust all is well 🙂 The image I am posting is from last weekend when we had temperatures down to -5C. I am always astounded by the beauty of the formation of ice crystals and so this image is of hoar frost on barbed wire. I also discovered this week that when you try and catch up on the reader, WordPress will actually prevent you from liking when you respond to ‘too many’ posts so apologies to those I have not ‘liked’, but I have seen and appreciated them all 🙂 Click in for a more detailed image.
Autumn sunrise with sparkles.
I hope everyone is well. We’re now into late autumn, the last of the deciduous trees are in their wonderful colours, days are getting much shorter and the misty mornings are plentiful. One day last week we had very heavy fog and I spied these little grasses which had gone to seed sparkling in the rising sun. Enjoy 🙂
An autumnal kaleidoscope…
Hello again everyone 🙂 My harvest at work went very well – a good tonnage of very clean fruit which is now in the care of the skilled winery guys. As you can imagine, I haven’t had a lot of time to take images but I did get to visit Duneira Estate today which is is now in full autumn glory today. A wonderful site to visit 🙂 This image is a double exposure taken ‘in camera’ of a full transition of autumn colour from green through to red 🙂
Sugar pink…
Hello everyone, I’m still in macro mode at the moment so here is an image of the bracts which form the outside of a Protea flower (also sometimes known as sugarbushes). It’s hairy texture is both brilliant and a nightmare for macro as the hairs pick up every speck of dust and dirt. The colour reminded me of the confectionery Turkish Delight hence “Sugar Pink”.

All in a whorl…
Hello everyone 🙂 It has been overcast, windy and drizzly for what seems an age and so I seem to be in macro mode at the moment. This is an unusual Chrysanthemum flower from a local florist. It has bi-coloured petals (a dark cream and light burgundy colour), light on one side and dark on the other, with a wonderful texture and a beautiful whorl at the centre.
Light catcher!
I took this image in the pine forest – it was very dark and as I ‘oohed and aahed’ at the fungi, I spotted this beautiful spider web catching the light in a shaft of sun. It reminded me of a dream catcher – hence a ‘light catcher’ 🙂
Pressing Pinot…
Hello again everyone! It is good to be doing a post again 🙂 This image was taken about two weeks ago as one of the last of the finished 2015 Pinot Noir ferments was being pressed off the skins at work. I used a longer exposure to capture the ‘trails’ of juice as it splashed into the press tray using the available light from an open door. The fermented wine is now safely in French oak barrels where it will mature for another two years 🙂
