I haven’t posted a recent pics blog for a while so, I thought I’d blog a few recent stock uploads which are food related.

Lens-Artists Challenge #368—Looking Back to Lens-Artists Challenge # 106: Autumn
Autumn is this weeks Lens-Artists ‘Looking Back’ Challenge, set by John. John’s original challenge post is here.
I don’t have that many Autumn tree or colour images that I could use in this post but what I do have is plenty of Autumn fungi shots so I’ve decided to concentrate on those for my challenge post.

This was our first visit to Crete. We chose to stay in Rethymno as we like basing ourselves within walking distance of larger towns that we can explore on foot. We booked a package deal through TUI for a half board stay at the Aquila Porto Rethymnon Hotel and flew into Chania airport from Birmingham, UK.

We’ve had a tiny round cactus plant at home for about five years or so now. I think it probably came home with us as one of a pack of tiny cacti from Ikea. I’ve never really bothered with it and it normally sits, out of the way, on a book shelf, at the back of the kitchen. It’s in a really good warm, light position.
