A woodland seat: Photo 3rd May 2018
Bright with greenery to start the year. I thought this woodland photo apt for the #2019picoftheweek challenge title: Take a Seat.
Yea, well, Ivy did—take it, that is.
#2019picoftheweek challenge is run by Of Maria Antonia
Crimson’s Creative Challenge #8
Nix, I say. My spirit thou shalt not trammel.
CCC8
Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
You have plenty of scope, and only two criteria:
If you link your post to this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
If you tag it #CCC others should be able to find it by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN.
Details of the photo are given, if relevant, below this line

Being a review of (almost) one year of #2018picoftheweek challenge …
It’s Spring. Posted 17th March 2018
FYI, the challenge, set by Maria at ofmariaantonia (originally just for herself but she allowed me to join in) was simple: every Saturday to post a photo to match a Title chosen from a list provided at the start of the year.
Sparkle. Posted 5th May 2018
I came late to the #2018picoftheweek challenge; it was already February. But that still yields 48 photos. Too many to include in this post. So I’ve picked my favourites. The full set can be seen here: 2018 A Year of Photos
Follow the Path. Posted 14th July 2018
Sounds simple, doesn’t it. But I soon discovered a snag: which Titles to use early in the year, and which to hold back for later. Towards the end of the year I was sweating on it, my bruised ankles testimony to my several wrong choices.
Symmetry. Posted 18th August 2018
The all-new, shiny, unused list of Titles are now available for the #2019picoftheweek. For details, contact Of Maria Antonia I’m sure she’ll let you join in.
What a View. Posted 17th November 2018
Burgundy drops, thimble-sized. 1st October 2018
These small, clustering ‘bonnets’ are as much iconic fungi as the totally boring button mushroom of supermarkets and kitchens.
I have a liking for the umbellifers as subjects for my camera. Something of their structure … appeals. This one is the notorious hemlock, sickener (killer?) of reckless boys who cut the hollow stalks to make pea-shooters of them. This plant is poisonous. Ask Socrates.
Tall hemlock stalks in silhouette: 27 November 2018
These 8′ tall end-of-season stalks stand stark against the gathering storm clouds. Apt, I think, as the #2018picoftheweek title Moody.

Bloody paparazzi! Ain’t Her Majesty’s birds safe anymore?
For non-Brits, all swans are the Queen’s birds, fully protected.

With a wish for Christmas Peace to you all.
Not all fungi like to flash their colours. Some are shy babies, not even content to lie disguised amidst autumn leaves.
Photo: 1 October 2018
These camera-shy fungi were hiding in the deep shadows beneath the roots of a wind-blown tree. But lucky for me the sun then shone! I shall say nothing of the dirty knees and the crick in the neck and the various nasties that also were there. A photographer must suffer for her craft!
