The Gallery - Beauty

Tara at Sticky fingers has introduced The Gallery designed to showcase all the amazing photographs she sees dotted around the bloggisphere.

And the first 'theme' she chose was beauty.

I have chosen to showcase two photographs and explain why they sit the bill for me. Firstly a photograph I took during the recent snow we have had. I love snow, it makes the whole world seem clean and sparkly and it also can make the most mundane things dance. This is a photo of some mint in the garden, which I cut down over the autumn. Isn't it amazing how the snow turns it in to a thing of beauty.

My second image represents my quest to find beauty in the everyday and try to recycle as much as possible. Me and Minimad make this garland for valentines out of an old Boden catalogue, but we loved it so much it is still hanging in our dining room.

Lovely pictures, I am envious of the snow you've all had, even if you are all fed up to the back teeth with it. xx

I've said it before, you are very talented. I don't like the snow but I do love your photograph.

Am so glad you picked that one of the mint - I loved it first time around and even better the second. So beautiful. And I am quite envious of your skills with the Boden hearts...

I love them both....what a great idea to make a garland like that. Snow does make everything seem so more beautiful, although I took some pictures during a blizzard and it didn't look quite the same then. :0)
