Focus On Life Week 31

Over at the Studio Sublime the prompt for this weeks photo challenge was 'Hues of Blue'.   I don't usually work with blue, although it's a colour I love, especially in the garden, so it gave me the perfect opportunity to photograph this beautiful sea holly that is growing just outside my back door - it was quite a painful experience as it's about 90% prickles! 

I also found the Ceratostigma in bloom and looking glorious - such a wonderful shade of blue - and decided it would look quite good against some old, blue books. 

I gave all the photos a 'bluish' feel using textures from Pixel Dust and French Kiss.

ANTIQUE SPECTACLES

We inherited a large bag of antique spectacles from my late father-in-law.  We have no idea where they came from or why he had them, but I decided they were not going to be thrown out!  I knew I would find a use for them eventually.

Here's one pair being used as a photographic prop for this weeks

 Texture Tuesday.

I used Kim Klassen's Lightpaper3 and Lightpaper 4 textures.
