I've just started taking close up shots and it's made me really realise the colours/light in nature - man-made colours have nothing compared with what nature can provide.

If it interests you post a few of your images, especially now we are moving into Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere

3 shots from a suburban garden this afternoon

Our tomatoes have been terrible this year -

1st year of trying for me.
3 plants 3 pots, maybe 4 dozen toms all told,
Doesn't seem worth it especially for the amount of water they have been drinking.

I have a couple of those as Bonsai trees, the smallest maybe 4" tall.
Very pretty this time of the year aren't they?

We have one in our very small front garden - I clip it a few times a year to keep it's size down

That's something else I've jut tried this year.
2 in patio pots, not a bad result.

Peace Rose

What is the story behind the Peace rose?

It was developed by the French rose breeder, Francis Meilland, between 1935 and 1939 who, when he saw that war with Germany was inevitable, sent cuttings to friends in Italy, Turkey, Germany and the USA. History tells that it was on the very last flight before the German invasion of France.

he seems to be carrying something - a small insect - obviously stocking up for the evening meal

you never see stuff like this until you develop the image!
