Beetroot is my favourite from this week’s photos:<\/p>\n

\"beetroot\"<\/a>This was Thursdays photo, taken in the morning before the weather turned wet. My wife had pulled beetroot up for making chutney leaving a gap in the row where I could place the camera for a low-down shot. The two snail shells were there – I did not place them. I like this shot for both the colour and the depth plus the unusual nature of the image.<\/p>\n

My wife had pointed out to me some flowers that grew taller than usual as they had to make their way up through a dark-leaved variety of an elderberry tree – this made a suitable image for Monday:\"flowers<\/a><\/p>\n

This, I feel, has good juxtaposition of colours: the yellow flowers, their green leaves and the dark tones of the elderberry foliage.<\/p>\n

It rained on Monday night. This meant everything was dripping wet on Tuesday morning, including this fuchsia:<\/p>\n

\"wet<\/a>I like this for the way the water is sitting on some of the petals. I also like the bright colours of the flower contrasting with the darker background.<\/p>\n

Most mornings I walk past a mature sycamore tree when I go to let out the turkeys. On Wednesday I took my camera to take a view up the trunk into the centre of the tree:<\/p>\n

\"sycamore\"<\/a>This image did need a bit of manipulation to get it to look right – I think the green colour cast formed by the leaves confused the camera a little. I do think this conveys some idea of the strength and height of the tree.<\/p>\n

Finally, on Friday I decided to photograph these white lilies. I have had my eye on them for a couple of days but decided to take the photo today before age, and the wet weather, spoiled them.<\/p>\n

\"White<\/a>Although the photograph is reasonable, there is a lot of contrast in the scene between the sunlit white petals and the foliage in shadow. I took this quite early in the morning as we planned to be out for most of the day. The morning, though, had a very strong feel of autumn to it – last night it was quite wet and windy so there were a lot of leaves and twigs about, it was very damp (everything was dripping), and there was a distinct cold nip in the air. Summer is over!<\/p>\n
