aliens aka rose hips

These caught my eye in the walled garden at Mottisfont.

Thank you everyone for such an interesting response to my yesterday's post 'a new book for writing'.

I am not good at mass replies (all that clicking back and forth makes me feel a bit disorientated) and prefer, in reply, to comment on your posts.

So this year I have decided to make any response on a following post, as I am doing here.

I mainly want to say that I do find writing a few sentences each day at a regular time therapeutic. Also to wonder what I would do with those writings if I kept them. Certainly I would not read them again and they would just moulder in a pile somewhere.

Writing to accompany my photos on 365 is also therapeutic.

Many thanks.
Love those rosehips especially if they are shrinking as your do, lovely dof!

Hazel, the Black Widow pencils are a really good start, you can get them off Amazon for 13.49 a tin plus p+p or EBay for 16.ish p and p free. All nice colors 3 sets all different try black widow or scorpion for pastel and bright or Cobra for a bit more muted, the set I have are lovely colors. OR try Arteza pencils they are fabulous, I have a box of 48 going begging, as hubby bought me a 72 set so I can’t use them all.
Book wise look for JOHANNA BESFORD WORLD OF FLOWERS I can really recommend it, good pictures and good quality paper.
Hope this helped

@craftymeg

Margaret, thank you for all the info. I am having a think about colouring, my concern being that I do tend to take on more than I can cope with which is not good - and I never seem to have enough hours in the day already!
