Stumbled upon a wild flower patch yesterday, thriving in a community play area in Somerset. The sky was blue, crisp cool air and a fantastic mix of
 flowers still holding on giving a lovely display.

Nasturtiums

On a sunny Saturday there was huge patch of bright orange and yellow nasturtiums at a friends garden. Buzzing with very busy bees I was taken by the twisted, tangled mesh of stems hiding underneath the lily pad shaped leaves. Although the natural colours of the plant are gorgeous, when cropping the images down I altered the colour to purples, turquoise and lime greens which seemed to enhance the patterns and shapes.

 

I even managed to capture a busy bee at work

I found some lovely thistles in my parents garden at the weekend. 

The blues and lilacs enhanced by the sunshine.

  

There was even a sneaky snail hiding amongst the spiky leaves.

Had a lovely afternoon on Lyme Regis beach recently rock pooling, building sand sculptures and swimming. I found this great piece of seaweed with fantastic twists and curls.

My new necklaces are now in my folksy shop. Please click on link to view.

Here are a few photos of my latest necklace. My opaque turquoise and ivory beads combined with transparent clear glass beads in baby blue and smoke grey. Threaded together with a mixture of complimenting glass seed beads.

 

 

 This necklace and two more will shortly be arriving in my folksy shop.
