MKW Designs – Electric Thistle

For some reason I cannot decide between which product looks best with this photo – so I will do a post dedicated to just the Electric Thistle.

The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut

Last year my husband went to Egypt to see some of the ancient structures and history. I thought I would share some of the photography of that trip with you as it is such an epic place. Enjoy 🙂

This small opening off to the side of the temple is apparently access to more tombs that have been found. It’s astounding how much is still hiding under the sand that we may never fine.

Pink shell

Those years of randomly collecting pretty shells finally found a purpose. Being photo props. My new found enjoyment is backgrounds – setting them up and trying to get a good shot on top of them – this one isn’t great, but getting there.

Just a pink shell.

Orb Weaver Spider – UK

These are the most common in my garden in summer and autumn, once they web up somewhere I try and take great care to not disturb them. But now and again they are invisible – usually when I am concentrating on taking a picture and my focus is different, so they get disturbed a bit.

Garden spiders UK

Amazing how many different spiders there have been just in my small garden. I have listed all the ones from the last two years and hopefully will get more this year. And because I have a number of pics for each, I think a post showcasing each of them will soon come as well 🙂
