Oysters

Posted on September 22, 2014 by myeye1

I recently came across this big pile of oyster shells that had been caught/fished in the south east of England. I’ve never tried or seen oysters before and I was surprised to find that they could be found in local English waters, and in abundance.

I like how the shells on the outside look rough and dirty and to the untrained eye could look like rocks (or maybe just to me then). But the insides look all smooth, shiny with a pearly tint to them, which makes me think of treasures being hidden within that have to be pried out

These ones that look even rockier are ones that were being sold to customers alongside the harbours. They have been freshly caught and were being opened to serve to customers alongside other seafoods. I tried to take a picture of an oyster with the edible flesh still inside, but wasn’t quick enough. I was pleased to see them and it was definitely a highlight to the day

The texture of these leaves makes them look spongy and soft. I also really like the colour and patterns of purple on green, making them unusual and eye-catching

This beautiful flower is growing in our garden at the moment. I don’t know what it’s called but I absolutely love the ombre colours running throughout the petals; from bright pink to the white tips. The texture, shape and depth of each petal makes this flower really stand out and a delight to look at

I love how super bright these flowers are, almost makes you want to grab a pair of sunglasses to dim the glare! I also really like the detail in the centre which looks like a mini flower within a larger one

I don’t know what this flower is called but I love the curvy shapes of the petals and how dynamic the whole flower looks; it really is eye catching and pretty

I really like how these seemingly hundreds of tiny pink petals works together to build up this big beautiful flower. I like the texture the petals create and the detail and colour of each and every one of them

Every Spring my mum, who has very green fingers, grows a variety of herbs and vegetables in our garden, with more varieties being added every year. This year as we are shooting through Summer lots of the plants are now bearing their offerings which are now ripe and ready to be picked. Here we have aubergines, chillies, French beans and tomatoes (you may wonder why some are still green though – my mum likes to add these to cooking to give food a tangy kick). There’s also others in our garden and as we head towards the end of Summer they too will be ready to enjoy
