Autumn lightand yellow fruitfulness -
Cape gooseberries on my kitchen sink-bench (have I mentioned my house was built in the late 1970s?). I expected to fit six together in this circle, but by their angles they insisted on five.
Nicely matching the five-fold division of the flower and calyx.
That's not a gardener's hand! They grow happily without my assistance, and I'm happy to hunt and gather them. Only once has there been enough at one time for a pot of wonderful jam. -
An earlier attempt at holding a Cape gooseberry open to the window-light.
And detail, showing the obvious spots as on the surface of the sun. Sun-spots? or fly-spots. Larger spot at far left looks mighty suspicious – reckon those spots might be mite-spots.

Dangers of close up photography! Imperfection revealed. Very pretty gooseberries.

I went out especially to look for autumn pics in Albert Park in the rain. Albert Park was swarming with people for a legalise-it day (is that like legalise information technology?).
There were nearby footpath pics….
I wanted closeups of the creeper on the Northern Club, but there was a downpour.
But I found trees in the rain looking pretty good. -
Oh, and I found Autumn leaf attracted to iron leaf-like.

Lovely. I'd never thought of poplar leaves as square before - it seems to have the NW quadrant well covered.
Another, earlier autumnal poplar leaf interrupted on its fall, by a she-oak/Casuarina in dry March conditions. Among all the angles, it may well be similarly square.

Dangers of close up photography!I'd eaten at least half the evidence before looking at the photo enlarged on screen, but further investigation on similar unopened fruits with a 10x hand-lens revealed the occasional six-legged spot ...

Nice too.... I wasn't going to post this one, but seeing we are snapping interloping plants....
Camellia and yew? -
There was some real sun here this morning as I tended my exensive kitchen garden.
-
And a few light showers. Ongoing warmth and the onset of rain lately seem to have indicated 'Spring!' to this Nasturtium.
"A word in your ear?"
(Or just a passerby, heading off to chew the ear of some juicy mint leaves.) -
Jos,
Must take hours keeping that under control Chris, is it a potato sproutling?
I found myself in Te Puke this afternoon, stopped at the garden centre, then went back to car for camera. I was looking for good textures to use in the blended photos I've been playing with.

Jos,
more walls
am I boring you? -
Boring? If so, then no doubt you can liven them up with some monsters :-)
The sproutling is a cutting from a plant I have in a pot (photo'd November) that I've grown from a cutting from a shrub in my mother's old garden. I'm to return a new one in a pot for her, a sentimental favourite. It's Iboza = Tetradenia riparia from southern Africa, attractive foliage with soft textured heart-shaped leaves and sprays of mauve flowers in July.
I'd thought this cutting was a failure after no action for 5 weeks, so now that green sprouts are emerging, all the stronger the urge to take a baby photo to send to its great grandma. -
At the old cemetery on Anzac Day – colourful depths in Liquidambar foliage.
Or, focusing more on the individuals rather than the collective – depths of colour in Liquidambar leaves.
To the fallen.
Both scattered and swept into drifts by the wind, shadowed in matching pattern by the surviving Liquidambar foliage. -
Jos’s walls look like my water :)

Jos,
all lovely, I very like the rain ones.
A blend using a couple of the wall pics and an old optician's thing -
Easy to get caught up in this.
For those interested, with Photoshop or Gimp, create two images of equal size and paste one on top of the other.
In Photoshop; Option, click on the layer (on a Mac) and choose ‘Difference’. On Gimp, you click above the Layers and select Difference again.
I just found this the other day, after Jos got started. Fairly low-fi blending, but seems to work, at least for me.
With thanks, and/or apologies, to The Cut Collective, for the overlay image.
Rainy day pursuits. ;-)

thanks Jackson, I'll investigate......
meantime
like a visual ear worm, suddenly norfolk pines are just everywhere, rainy autumn sky gives it a bit of added drama.... -
Looks like it will take a lot of mucking around to find out how to merge pictures in my version of PS.
I could have applied a lot of really silly effects to the cat, didn't think she'd appreciate it, so just a simple one....
