Wired

Watching Andy Murray almost through my fingers...things aren't looking good!

Just popped out into the garden for a photo while things were going really badly......sometimes if you go away they surprise you by doing better!

The blackberry flowers are out...a good crop hopefully in September.

Three good things:
1. The off button on the TV!
2. No repercussions after a rather oily meal last night....I was a little worried but it was very nice!
3. I am really pleased with the enlarged photos from Asda for the show photo competition.
Blackberries - beautiful and delicious!
Great macro shot - so perfectly focused and gorgeous soft light.

Very interesting capture with a mixture of delicate flower and the roughness of the wire.

A bouquet of barbed wire

sadly, your going away trick didn't work this time - oh well, at least you got a nice photo out of it.

@barrowlane darn it Rob....why didn't I think of that...was mulling for ages trying to think of what went with wire that could apply!

@jantan no he wasn't good was he.....I had a bad feeling from the start, he is either good or bad!

Going out for a while did not do the trick!! Good luck for the comp. And it's a lovely blackberry flower in your shot - we have lots too.

Och well, I'll have to switch my support to Roger.

Good to see the blackberries looking promising!

The barbed wire reminds me of the tennis net - great photo.

I like the contrasting flower and barbs!!

@happypat

I wonder why you are not so keen on them?!
July 2nd, 2014  
@quietpurplehaze don't know Hazel...I like other
People but think my own are boring. After living in the middle of a field for 32 years perhaps I like a bit of life!

What a fabulous colour these blackberry flowers are.
Missed Andy's match but just seen Kyrgios lose after his great success over Nadal yesterday. Lots of tumbling stars this year!

@happypat

Yours are not boring to other people, Pat! I hope you were allowed out of that field during the 32 years!!!!!!!!!!
July 2nd, 2014  
Superb clarity! Nice colours too.

@quietpurplehaze he he I was Hazel but honestly you couldn't see another house from ours.......the farm we had before we moved here. Lovely place to live & we go back for our social life all the time...I do like a few neighbours now but LOVE city life ...visiting only mind you!
July 2nd, 2014  
Such a pretty flower, whilst I was on holiday did I read you were going into hospital?
July 2nd, 2014  
hey Pat I told you getting your prints from a supermarket or high st. camera shop was far better than 'print your own', but I know you will 'picking your own' when these lovely flowers have fruited :)

@phil_howcroft you were right Phil...cheap too! Haven't eaten last years blackberries yet....they are at the bottom of the deep freeze somewhere....get baking!

This is lovely and the barbed wire adds an extra dimension
July 2nd, 2014  
@claireuk yes have succumbed Claire...next Tuesday...was recommended so I am hopeful things will go well. Can't be doing with the not knowing if I am going to be well enough to do things on a certain day. In for one day so shouldn't be long getting over it,,,said about two weeks to feel fit again ...or was it two months! Blood test on Monday first.
July 2nd, 2014  
I like it, and I suppose you will make some jam
July 2nd, 2014  
Beautiful shot. I used to love blackberry picking when I was a child.
July 3rd, 2014  
A sweet shot
July 3rd, 2014  
Interesting image ... i like the delicate bramble flower. The barb on the wire echoes the thorns on the brambles! As for Andy Murray ... alas he is out! He looked weary!
July 3rd, 2014  
Nice shot, I like the contrast with the wire.
July 3rd, 2014  
Fav for me. I left the tennis with Andy looking quite steady (set 1) and came back about one set before he lost!
July 3rd, 2014  
A gorgeous shot ...... saw quite a few blackberries starting to ripen yesterday! so early :)
