Still Life

I took this through the window of a local eatery. I was intrigued by the randomness of putting chocolate spread next to a load of tomatoes. Surely there can't be a receipe out there that mixes those two ingredients together. Even Heston Blumenthal wouldn't do that. Or would he?

A Touch Of Christmas

Here's a couple of shots from yesterday's visit to Wollaton Hall. Some still life photos from the room where we had our cups of tea and a bowl of turnips in the Tudor kitchen.

Still Life

A quiet day at home today, so to reflect that, here's a photo of a flower belonging to an onion plant that is growing in a pot in the garden.

The stem is quite tall, so not sure whether I should have pulled them out a while ago. Still it makes for a nice plant, and they were only old onions anyway, so we've not lost anything.

I was just testing my camera and I shot this still life scene by accident.

Thought it looked quite amusing, and so I thought I would share it with you all.

Lonely Swimmer

This dead leaf was the only thing in the water of the new fountain. I don't know where it came from, as all the old leaves had disappeared, or been swept up. A different sort of still life.
