Note the V for Victoria instead of the E for Elizabeth. This postbox is in one of the pillars bordering Ham Gate, leading onto Richmond Park.

Playing with my phone again. This time also using the ColorSplash app as well.

Playing with my phone again. I like how this scene looks quite ’70s.

Taken with the ShakeItPhoto app on the iPhone, which I’m still incredibly impressed with.

My fuchsia plant surprises me, I was out on my patio on a cold November morning, optimistically hoping that just because it wasn’t raining I might me able to get some washing dry, when I turned around and found this in full bloom in it’s pot.

I planted this one earlier on this year and it’s sort of bloomed a few times now, but not completely, like this till now, so quite a surprise on two fronts, one, in that having such a vivid brightly coloured plant flowering in November and two, in that I haven’t killed it (yet).

The photo by the way was taken with my iphone, which doesn’t have the best camera on it in the world, by far but thanks to a mention from The Small Object about the iphone app, ShakeItPhoto, I downloaded it and have had great fun playing with it. It’s meant to turn your iphone into a polaroid (you have to shake your phone to develop your photo – I’m easily pleased) and pleasing gimmick aside, it does turn rather rubbish photos into rather pleasing old fashioned looking photos instead, with some rather nice saturated colour.
