Saturday Snapshots - Colour in Winter

When it's overcast or wet outside and it makes your day seem so very grey, take a look at the colour that is in the garden.
Here are some photos taken this week and will brighten up a miserable winter's day:

Fourth Set of Pieces for Exhibition

Something a little different - I really love my hens, so had to have some pictures of them included. This idea I saw in a book on digital imagery for fabric and although it was used in a landscape situation, I thought it would be fun to try.
Here we have the Blue Andalusian rooster (Blue), some of the hens (a mixture of Blues and Bantams), and a stash of hidden eggs I found. Covered with the florist's gauze, quilted in a grid and then some of the gauze cut away. Fun!
