On Monday morning this view greeted me as I opened the back door:<\/p>\n

\"view<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a lovely autumn morning that I saw as I went out to let out the poultry. Unfortunately, the sky was very bright so it has burnt out to white, but otherwise this does give a decent impression of the view.\u00a0 I could have used more advanced techniques to overcome this but decided, in this instance, to let the camera record it the best it can.<\/p>\n

When sorting out the turkeys on Tuesday morning, this scene, illuminated by the low bright sun, caught my eye:<\/p>\n

I liked the juxtaposition of the garden roller with the trunk of the tree and the background being quite dark. I had to crouch down quite low to avoid my shadow showing.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, the sun was still shining brightly in the morning. Looking around my eye was attracted to this fuchsia growing amongst some shrubs on the western side of the garden:<\/p>\n

For me, the presence of the sundial makes this image – without it it would be quite mundane.<\/p>\n

Thursday was overcast. For a subject, I wanted to show this display of potted plants:<\/p>\n

I decided to show this before the first frosts of autumn wreaked havoc with the plants. I wanted a reasonably plain background so used the wall of the house. The window and the two spoked wheels add, I feel, some interest to the scene. Ideally they would have been slightly out of focus, but the combination of a wide-ish angle lens and compact camera made that an unobtainable ideal.<\/p>\n

Finally, this morning, I photographed this vanilla marigold:<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, me wife had spoken to me about these plants. Choosing a reasonable specimen was quite difficult as many looked fine from a distance but had a lot of marks or damage closer up. However there are quite a few of these in the garden, so I was able to find a decent bloom.<\/p>\n
