If you’re a fan of LivingEtc, you may recognize the work of photographer Polly Eltes. I was introduced to her photos through Modern Girl Style. Some of the photos were definitely familiar from the pages of the British interior design magazine. Her portfolio is full of calming, inspirational interiors. I like the use of dramatic and bold pieces, and the combination of neutrals with shots of blue and green is one of my favorites.
I am sure this one appeared in LivingEtc. Gotta love that chandelier!
I love the light in this photo.
And this one.
She also has some wonderful outdoor shots that capture the quintessentially British countryside. Makes me think of home…

My other half is trying out more of his macro photography technique (not exactly sure what that is, but I like the end result – especially because it gives me an excuse to splurge on flowers!) Here’s the latest subject: multicolored parrot tulips. I think these photos are pretty good. In fact, I’m thinking of printing them onto a roller blind for our bathroom, but I’m not sure if he can handle this much flower every day!
What a beautiful sunny day it was today in San Francisco. Here’s a photo from photographer Polly Eltes (I just discovered her site today, more on that tomorrow) that just sums up the mood…
It’s peony season. Our local grocery store had buckets upon buckets of gorgeous pink peonies yesterday morning. So I scooped up a few bunches and brought them home.
My husband took these fantastic pictures of them. He’s practising some new close-up techniques with his snazzy camera so was glad to have a good subject to work with. Aren’t they beautiful?
I absolutely love Ranunculuses. So I’m delighted that it’s Ranunculus season again. We planted some more in our garden and, to my surprise, some of last year’s have also re-appeared. I tried taking a few pictures of them. Then it occurred to me that if I really want beautiful photos of these flowers, there are people far more capable of capturing them in pixels than I am. So off to Flickr I scurried and look at what I found. Fabulous stuff.
These are from our garden.
Need to get more photography practice. Unlike the talented people who took these fabulous photos.
By photographer, Diana Brennan. Her photos are simply stunning. She has a blog here, which I have just subscribed to.
Then I found Jane Flanagan’s photostream. Jane is a writer (she blogs here), but she may as well be a photographer and stylist. These are great.
This is from Queenieinmanhattan‘s photostream (entitled ‘staycation’ which I thought quite apt since that’s what we’ve just had).
And finally, for those who can’t get enough Ranunculus, this field of flowers is from this photostream. The photo was taken in Carlsbad where there are fields of flowers, grown for commercial use. It’s kind of sad that they will all be cut down and sent to people’s homes and stores. But, at least they’re being grown domestically and it does make for an amazing sight.
Decorology has posted a series of shots from photographer, Debi Treloar (I just added her to my blogroll after seeing these). They’re absolutely stunning. Don’t they make you wish you were sitting in one of these pictures, reading and drinking a glass of chilled wine? Now that’s relaxation…
