A cyanotype print of a seed head.

My first attempt at Cyanotype printing. A 19th century camera-less photographic process using chemistry and ultraviolet light. Can't wait to try more.

Image of a Sketch drawing of a flower and an image of a digital painting of the sketch.

I drew a simple sketch of a Japanese Anemone flower in Procreate for iPad and made a digital painting of it with various brushes and blending. First time for me, lots to learn but such fun!

Photo of a dummy head for hairdressers to practice on. No body just a pole. Dummy is looking into the mirror and appears to be looking directly at the camera in a sinister way! Photo is blended in Photoshop with a photo of a wall with graffiti for added colour and grunge texture.

Plenty of layers please, I need a bit of body!

Interesting yet spooky sight at the hairdresser, blended with a bit of graffiti for grungy texture!

Used my photo of a Coneflower as a reference and added my photo of raindrops on a window to sum up the kind of day it is today!

Speckled Wood Butterfly with torn wings.

I took this photo of a Speckled Wood butterfly last week. Looks like both wings are suffering a bit of wear and tear. Hope it helps.

Black and white photo taken behind a dog and its owner sitting on a bench in the park. The dog is turned to face me as i took the photo. The owner is looking at his phone.

When I realised it's a dog, I had to take the photo!

No probs. I vaguely remember a discussion on a local Facebook page about Llan, apparently they also had a franchise in Buckleys Brewery Llanelli and sold their pop from there.

I remember drinking 'Llan Pop' in the late 70s early 80s. I lived in Llanelli and they were based down the road in Llangennech.

Beautiful bright pink Magnolia flower

2 Wood Ducks staring out to the pond.

Wonder if they are contemplating a quick dip in the pond, or if they are just watching me watching them!

Macro close up of the inside of a daffodil trumpet. The anthers/stamen appear to be peeping out from inside as if they are hiding away from the current nightmare!

Let me know when it's safe to come out!

I had some funny looks in the cafe whilst taking the window shot, but I think it was worth it!

I drove to Swansea last night. The roads were like rivers. Horrible night.
