I started off the week with this view through our garden:
This was taken first thing Monday morning and is a view from near our back door, past a plum tree, through to the gate to the chicken runs. The morning was quite overcast, hence no shadows. I quite like to composition as it shows many parts of the garden: the plum tree, the flower bedding dying back behind it, the edge of the pond to the right, and the grass leading through to the gate.
The following morning it was bright and sunny so I took the same view:
Both the atmosphere and the colour is completely different. The colour is more green, even after it has been toned down and it just has a different feel. I did think about taking this view over the whole week but the conditions at the times that were available to me to use would have resulted in near identical photos.
So instead, on Wednesday morning I decided to photograph a few chickens:
These had been let out for their early morning feed. When they are let out of their hut they come charging out in expectation of their food – even though they have feed in the hut.
Thursday was quite fine so I wanted to show that there is still colour in the garden:
This image shows sedum ‘autumn joy’. We have several patches of this around and it contrasts with other parts of the garden that are beginning to die back.
As Friday was still a fine day, I showed some more colour in the garden:
This shows Roses and Penstemon in the bed to the side of the summer house. It is quite cheering to see colour like this.
Larger versions and previous daily photos can be seen in the garden gallery.
Update:
This series of postings on the daily garden photograph is not working as I hoped, so this is the last posting, for now, on this topic.
