Skywatch Friday, Season 4, Episode 41.
These are my pictures for Skywatch this week, there are beautiful skies from all over the world here, take a look if you have a moment.
Both pictures are SOOC and taken at 8.30 in the evening in the UK. It is such a treat to be out in the warm evenings we have had this week. The forecast is good for our Easter Weekend. Hope you all have a lovely few days, possibly off work? wherever you are.
This week project 64 is looking for magenta.
At last I got hold of a box of crayons so just can’t resist this.
I have been carrying my crayon in a scruffy little wallet, when I took the crayon out today to check a colour match, I realised that the little wallet is magenta! Still scruffy, but magenta in colour:)
I saw this Orchid in someones house this week and was amazed at myself for asking to photograph it!
A lovely embroidered box on my shelf
These little saxifraga look so pretty in their blue glazed pot but I was playing with my new lens and loved this shot.
I can’t resist a picture of a hyacinth, they look so different each day you look at them, I have lots in the garden but will buy some cut stems just to take their photo! this one is in my garden.

When this Weigela flowers it will be too pink for magenta and by the time my magenta one flowers we will be looking for Pacific Blue!
And there was me thinking I would never find anything in this colour.
There are some fabulous magenta pictures over here
We had an unexpected evening out to see Chas & Dave in their farewell concert tour. Not my first choice of concert but I thoroughly enjoyed the singing and dancing. They were really good fun to listen to. We had dreadful seats for the first half but were able to move and enjoy the rest of the concert with a much better view.
Ben returned home on Sunday in time to enjoy my roast lamb Mothering Sunday lunch. Boys and their stomachs!
Lotta came to visit this week. I really love having her here. I love her tiny shoes and girly things but best of all I love to hear her and my boy laughing.
I linked to the Project 64 photo colour challenge. I found lots for Burnt Sienna. I love how the challenge opens my eyes to what is around me.
I had some hyacinths in the house this week; I love their natural heady perfume. (Always a good thing to have around you when you own a greyhound!). As I was taking the leaves off and cutting the bases I noticed some tiny new shoots and thought I would watch them for a few days. Very serendipitous indeed! Then by the following weekend the little shoots were flowering, how beautiful nature is.
In January I was visiting in a lovely village near where I live and saw a field of snowdrops, I took some photos of course, they were so beautiful and there were so many!
Yesterday I drove past the same field and it was full of bluebells and cowslips.
I have always loved cowslips. The garden I have now is the only garden I have not been able to grow them in (I suspect the clay) so imagine my heart when I saw this, it soared.
The lady I visited said, since she was a little girl, it had been her dream to go into a field like this one and pick a bunch of cowslips.
Do you have a dream like this?
I am linking up with Kim’s Texture Tuesday again this week. She set us a challenge to use 2 textures; Sweet treat, which I love and a new one to me, Silence.
Since I learnt about textures (from Kim) I look at my photos in a new light, A texture can change a picture completely and give it a whole new feel! and it is such fun to play with photoshop.
