Carmi's Challenge over the Chriastmas period is "My best Photographs".
My best one has got to be the cosmos I photographed in my sister's garden in Surrey back in the Spring. She is a clever gardener, and grew these from seed, but they looked absolutely beautiful, and were a great attraction for bees and other insects. It also reminds me of a lovely holiday I had with them, and I feel warmer just thinking about it!
These crab apples are in the park, and looked so lovely against the blue sky.
The Horse Chestnuts, or conkers I found in the park, and brought back. I love the dark shiny skins, so smooth to feel in your pocket! When I was a child I used to make little chairs with pins stuck in for legs, and wool woven round pins for the back.
Ah, happoy days!
Have a really good Christmas, all of you!

Hi Gilly - the wind is starting to howl right now, snow may be on the way. Thanks for the little shot of spring!
:) the flower is a delight! and those Horse Chestnuts, or conkers, are they also referred to as Buckeyes? Being from Ohio I saw them and immediately thought of that...
Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos! Merry CHristmas to you...

You have such beautiful pictures, full of color and texture. I don't remember seeing your cosmos one before: it is so bridal and lovely.
