Both captured in my local church cemetery, where areas have been roped off to allow the growth of wild flowers.

I haven't posted any street art for a while, so I thought I'd share three of my recent finds. The other two images are in the PiPs. I don't know who the creator of this piece is, so I can't credit him or her, but the artist who created the two PiPs is known as UNIFY and his work can be found here: www.unifyartist.com

These are situated on the sea front at Southsea, Hampshire.They date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and have been Grade II listed for their artistic, architectural and historical interest. They have recently been restored. See the link for more details if you are interested: www.visitportsmouth.co.uk/blog/read/2025/01/the-restoration-of-southseas-historic-shelters-and-lamps-b129 I have a couple more photos, which I'll post in due course.

I spotted this Camelia in a park in Portsmouth and thought I'd get up close and personal. The lens I used is not strictly a macro lens, but it does have a macro setting on it, which does a great job. Please check out the PiP for a wider view.

Definite signs of a coffee addiction..!! This is actually some very old wallpaper in a café we were in this morning. I couldn't resist taking a photo of it. Better views large if you have time!

An abstract (macro) view of the corona of a daffodil flower.

Taken on the Hard, Portsmouth, Hampshire. (The Hard is a slipway for the launch and recovery of fishing boats). Please check out the PiP for more stuff!

I wish I could take credit for putting this one together, but the truth is I found it exactly as you see it, hanging on a wall in a charity shop. It was part of a display and was not for sale...........but I was allowed to photograph it in situ.

Another daffodil image from my local cemetery.
