For Foofy Friday -- a pink Japanese Camellia amongst its pals in the Botanic Gardens near here. I'm no botanist but am told that's what it is!

Taken just this week with a scary Canon 6D, then cropped and adjusted in Photoshop CS5.

Cool song played during Photoshop work: The Empty Tidy Bag Blues by The Wombles. They'd surely be depressed by where we were.

This is lovely, and the background give it an artistic look.

Beautiful image...and the background gives it a lovely painterly effect. Very nice!

(Never heard of the Wombles but they apparently combine music with tidiness. And the blues are always fun.)

Thank you both for the nice comments!

I grew up with the Wombles, who lived on Wimbledon Common. There was a lazy one who would rather sleep than tidy -- the lead singer in that band. Let me just check... yes, Orinoco, with the floppy hat.

The thing about the Wombles -- they didn't just tidy, they recycled, which is probably why they've made a comeback now.

Underground, overground, wombling free...
Lovely photo of this delicate pink flower and with a pleasantly de-focused background. Nice!
Remember you're a womble!!! :)
