This week for Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge (CMMC) Cee Neuner has provided a photo for us to pick out a topic for our own picture(s).
The photo has two scarecrows in it. This gives me a chance to share another photo from the recent scarecrow trail – a clown scarecrow on a skateboard.
Cee Neuner’s topic for this week’s CMMC (Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge) is for the colour orange or light green. Do visit Cee’s blog to see more photos and links to other participants’ entries for this challenge.
There was a scarecrow trail in our village last weekend to raise funds for the local primary school. Some of the entries were very colourful. Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men have orange bodies and light green watering cans. Positioned on a busy corner it was difficult to snap them safely.
In case the children’s television programme from British TV has passed you by, in the 1950s Bill and Ben were made of flowerpots. Their friend ‘Little Weed’ was a flower growing between them. They lived in a garden. More modern series of the programme have also been made.
For Cee Neuner’s Midweek Madness Challenge (CMMC) this week a close-up or macro is required. Do visit Cee’s blog for more photos and links to the other participants.
I took a photo of Michaelmas daisies in September and cropped it. Several insects are visible in the cropped version. Michaelmas is the time around St Michael and All Angels (29th September). These flowers started blooming in July, but are still flowering in October.
