Dad's Gone to Iceland


We've just returned from another weekend at my father's house in Liverpool - probably one of the last as the building work going on there is nearing completion. However, I made this image on the previous visit in early June. 

I don't know what it is with builders, but as soon as they move in your garden turns into a building site, no matter what they're actually doing, inside or out. These Icelandic poppies are growing everywhere amongst the other weeds and long grass at the back of the house. 

Anyway, I managed to take five minutes out to take this picture. I didn't bother to take my tripod with me so I had to shoot hand-held, hence the shallow depth of field. And I couldn't make it into an acceptable monochrome image, despite concerted efforts, so I present it here in all its full-colour glory.  Nevertheless, I'm reasonably pleased with the result.
