With best wishes to you all for a Merry & Peaceful Christmas

Another picture addiction. Keep on playing with Pic Grunger. It does magical things to nice but ordinary shots, like this one of early morning light coming through our landing window.
I love the effects I am getting using this app. Must work out how to achieve the same effect on full size images.
This is Nectaroscordum siculum, the ornamental onion. I knew I had it somewhere in my collection and came across it today after a friend asked at the weekend if I could identify a flower in a photograph she had taken. I couldn’t remember at all what it was called when she asked and it was pure serendipity that I found it today.
It’s in my stock library thePictureKitchen here

A spring institution is nettle soup made with the soft tops of young nettles. I went out in red rubber gloves to pick a bowlful of these delicacies from the abundant supply in our garden, brought them in, washed them thoroughly and spun them in a salad spinner to get rid of all the little bugs and dirt that hide in their textured leaves. Picking and washing the nettles is the time consuming bit - the soup is a doddle to make.
