Wild oats and a summer storm brewing: I liked the muted tones in contrasting textures.

These convolvulus flowers seemed to light up a shady corner:

The barley field: shades of green with front row sgraffitto effect:
*
Ladybird sheltering in a sage leaf – what’s not to love?

And finally – three photos taken at Penmon Point on the island of Anglesey. In descending order: view of Puffin Island; looking across Menai Strait to the Welsh mainland; boy looks at lighthouse.
Lens-Artists: Simplicity This week Philo at Philosophy Through Photography sets the theme. Please go and see his inspiring examples.
What a beautiful post for simplicity Tish!
Many thanks, Anne.
😊
‘Simply does it’ rules. I love these- especially that ladybird!
It’s so sweet, snuggling down out of the rain 🙂
Stunning examples of nature’s perfection. I never knew what wild oats looked like.
Thanks, Ruth. Wild oats are so pretty when they ripen. Translucent.
Stunning captures! ❤️
Many thanks, Luffy.
Wonderful Tish. Loved your opener as well as the little ladybug.
I was so pleased to find that ladybug. It’s definitely one of my favourite photos.
The barley field and the ladybug are my favorites today, Tish.
Thanks, Janet. My favourites too 🙂
Simply sensational Tish. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers, G.C.
The ladybird 🐞 does it for me. What a shot!
A happy encounter. Thanks, Jude 🙂 🙂
Rural. Beautiful. Simple! Nailed it, Tish.
Thanks, my dear. Hope all is well with you.

Rattling on!
Nice pics Tish.
Many thanks, Pete.
Reblogged this on Hutts Ultra Blogging World.
oh, like everyone, I love the ladybird snuggled in so comfy. I loved the lighthouse as well. There is something so simple and profound about a lighthouse. Very nice Tish
Many thanks, Donna.
I love the sensitivity of the open field & convolvulus flowers. The peekaboo of the ladybug is fun. Your last few vistas are stunning.
Many thanks, Ju-Lyn. That Ladybird/bug was such a lucky chance find.
What an excellent selection for this challenge!
Love the wild oats and the contrasting texture!
Flowers never cease to astonish us! Isn’t that true? The clarity and the dark background appealed to me.
The barley field is breathtaking! Barley emphasises the significance of nutrition.
Oh! The ladybug with the sage leaf! You captured the image so wonderfully and promptly, just before the ladybug disappeared, and this informs us about the transient beauty of our life!
The last three shots are stunning and show Mother Nature at its finest!
I like how the lighthouse clicks emphasises the feeling of scale between the individual, the lighthouse, the sea, and the great sky!
Tish Farrell, thank you very much for taking part in this challenge.
Thank you so much for this lovely commentary to my photos, Philo. It makes me very happy 🙂
You are welcome, Tish Farrell.
It is a pleasure indeed meeting you .
Namaste.
Excellent photographs, Tish
Many thanks, Ian. Have you got your house sorted?
No. But the kitchen is almost finished, upstairs carpet done, fencing and garden still needed. End of the month?
These are great, Tish – love the field of barley, wild oats and brewing storm, and oh, that ladybird!!
As ever, appreciate your appreciation, Sue 🙂
Pleasure!
Wow! Gorgeous!!
Perfect images for the simplicity theme! I especially love the wild oats and even more so the barley field!
Many thanks, Sarah.
Simply simplicity in every one of these – gorgeous!
Many thanks, A-C.
Welcome.
GREAT selections. Barley field and ladybug are among my many faves.
Many thanks, John.
