The photograph is a courgette flower from our garden. The variety we grow here are strong and vigorous, I just loved the crunchy texture of the petals and the raggedy prickly leaves. The flower looks so strong and yet only lasts a short while, that state of impermanence reminding me to 'enjoy the moment'!

  3. Gorgeous and so Jo-esque. This would make a great series of prints... maybe three in a vertical row on a single piece of fabric, transferred using the gel medium method or inkjet (or laser) printed on transparencies - a recent article in CPS or QA?
