July Photo Competition DISCUSSION THREAD

:( I'm agoraphobic :(

 

you dont need to walk far to find things growing wild brambles..native trees..weeds/wildflowers..i walked to the post office this morning and saw loads of lovely things surviving in cracks in footpaths etc...just let your imageination run riot... :D

 

well when you have put your zoom lens on some little weed in the footpath it will turn into a beautifull flower..their are some in the wildflower section that you wouldnt even notice till the zoom goes on them then they blossom as a beautifull flower..i hope you all have your wellingtons on scrambling through the brambles looking for something growing wild !and if anyone sees you bending over the footpath they will definately think you have lost it !! :rolleyes: weed patrol here we come...

 

:D wildflower, I think you might get us all arrested! :D

 

The photos might be worth it! :D :D

 

If only I could get my mobile phone to download - I've got some photos I took of wild orchids locally! Maybe they'll still be there when I go back with my camera...... :rolleyes: Nice choice, Wildflower!

 

CLASSIC POPPIES.........

Give us a chance roders, that looks like the winner already.

the poppies are lovely..will have to get my thinking cap on next week and see what i can find..nothing as exotic as dendrobiums orchids as i wont find anything that nice here..!will have to make a daisy look like a stunning flower..

 

Excellent topic and one that will be a real eye opener. We all live in different places and each one of us will have loads of wild flowers on our doorstep. Wild flowers are making a real come back as local authorities no longer spray and mow everything like they did in the 70's and 80's. Road side verges are good places to look, so park in a layby and have a look (assuming its safe of course) Come August - all will be mown so now is the time :D

 

have been on my ramble accross some rough ground opposite my house..I have got scratched..stung..bitten..my foot went down a rabbit hole..but i found" growing wild.." as i live on the border of a city i didnt do too bad..as hornbeam said they are everywhere..i took 66 pictures and deleted the worst ..so now i have loads of pictures of blackberry buds ..thistles etc..will have to print them on birthday cards..

 

Love your third photo, Wildflower. Three horizontal bands of colour - excellent!

 

Thanks hornbeam..it was hard for me to find something colourfull as you said before next month its all gone..I like marley farleys fungus..it looks really nice..
