Team Up Thursday - New Beginning (Week 9)

Theme: Pets

Our cats are a hugely important part of our lives and in many respects are more like our kiddies than just animals. They each have their own destinct personality and are much loved by all our children. Love this special moment between Nick Nick and Lunar......

Jessie is Claire's little dog and from what I understand she has a cheeky, perky personality which I think is beautifully captured in this shot.

Team Up Thursday - New Beginning (Week 8)

Theme: Texture

Claire and I are determined to keep our TUT running despite baby's imminent arrival so although today's post is late at least it is still here :0)

I LOVED this theme, and the instant Claire sent it through I knew EXACTLY what I was going to photograph....we have this old tree stump out in the back garden and it has this amazing "fungus" growing on it. The contrast between the white fungus and brown tree trunk appeals to me photographically and of course there is just texture in bucket loads to fit in with the theme.

The light in Claire's shot this week is outstanding (I am beginning to sound like a broken record lol) and really highlights the lovely texture in this parasol....another great capture partner, thanks for sticking with me :0)
