Best friend and companion

This lo is a series of happy accidents and I planned it to sit opposite the 6 photo lo on the post below so used some of the same colours and papers. I wanted to try a circular photo and mount but drawing round masking tape and then cutting it out makes for wonky circles.

 To disguise this I cut more words out of the American Crafts Blue Skies Good Thing paper to make a sun shape as it was a happy lo. I painted the edges of the chocolate brown background and jazzed up the prima flowers with acrylic paint.

Look up and what do you see

Sunflowers and blue sky... bliss!

You can just spot a neighbour's rook here which shows the weird angle I was at

"Look up" was something I said to my kids all the time when they were growing up and it is now a bit of a mantra for us all whether we are walking in a city or the country as there is always so much to see. This morning I looked out my window to see bright blue sky having just read this challenge. I went out to our garden and decided to take a picture of my very large sunflowers against the sky. To take these photos I was squatting in the flower bed and looked very undignified especially as still had pj's on as when the moment takes you, you just have to look up.

My fence is 6 foot tall so this shows how big the sunflowers are getting.
