Lucy Corrander said...: Hello Marie and Janet.

I think light makes the remains of these plants look like frost on a window.

Hermes said...: I thought of frost (especially considering how cold it is this afternoon) and a Morris wallpaper.; October 4, 2009 at 3:44 PM
Lucy Corrander said...: Hello Robert.

I'm glad you like the photos here. Thanks for becoming a 'Follower'. It's very encouraging.

Lucy Corrander said...: Hermes . . . I kept changing my mind about which photo to put here today, this one, another one or a telegraph pole. The 'another one' is much more Morissian than this - but I only realise it now you have introduced the idea.

Thanks.

Anonymous said...: It reminds me of ice on windows.

Surprisingly, all of the rooftops in my shots belong to school buildings. I'm grateful to whoever designed them - it's a wonderful roofscape!; October 4, 2009 at 6:05 PM

Lucy Corrander said...: Hello Robert.

I'm delighted you have become a follower of PICTURES JUST PICTURES.

I used to live in rural Essex and still have family in the county.

Lucy Corrander said...: Oh, Robert, I see I have already replied to your comment. Apologies for doing it twice. And now you get a third message!

Lucy Corrander said...: Hello Della, Aileni and Dagrun.

I'm pleased that you like the patterns in the photo of Viper's Bugloss. They are one to the reasons I posted it.

Another is that, although lots of tones are often valued in black and white - sometimes, a blast of light appeals.

And I think it's pretty too. Sometimes, it's hard to produce a pretty picture without sentimentality creeping in. (Nothing wrong with sentimentality - it's just that I try to avoid it!)

Lucy Corrander said...: Lene - I'm very proud you have become a follower of PICTURES JUST PICTURES. I'm also pleased to know of your blog. I have followed John's for a while. How wonderful to have two such accomplished photographers in the same family.

I have been looking at your photos and enjoying them. I have problems scrolling down though because I have a very un-powerful laptop. (Which is the reason I don't leave many comments on your husband's blog. Sometimes, I can't get it to load at all.)

I'll try harder and try to be more patient in future!

Lucy Corrander said...: Hello Kitty and Just Me Again.

I'll have to see if I can take a picture of frost to pair this picture with when winter comes.

Lucy Corrander said...: Tone and Carver and Japa de Calabanga, hello. It's the light, isn't it! I think I am more often aware of the dark in black and white photos.

Thank you Magic Eye.

I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to PICTURES JUST PICTURES.

Daryl said...: Dead weeds? Interesting.; October 5, 2009 at 3:00 PM
Lucy Corrander said...: Dead weeds, Daryl? Wild flowers going to seed in autumn!

(Though this was originally one of a sequence entitled 'Take a Patch of Roadside Weeds' - but, in the end, I decided to post just the one photo. (I'm whispering that!) )

Calico Crazy said...: Very lovely photo, I like how light and airy it is depsite the large amount of wildflowers. It is full without being cluttered or crowded.

AKO said...: It's true, it looks lika frost on the plants. Nice light!; October 6, 2009 at 9:24 AM
The Explorer said...: i like this one, very unique; October 6, 2009 at 10:51 AM
Lucy Corrander said...: Hello Calico Crazy

That's exactly the thing about many wild plants. They manage both to pack themselves in while maintaining a delicate tracery.

Then there's denses undergrowth . . . but the ground level even of that is often surprisingly light.
