Something for the weekend - Part 60 - Pots and Cans

Hi

Winter is not a busy time in the garden but I wonder what might be have been happening in a quiet spot when we were not looking.

So I've modelled a corner of a garden, can you now bring it to life?  You can bring in a bit of nature, a bit of magic or something else entirely. The choice is entirely yours.

As always, anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side. This is to stop the thread slowing down when lots of images are added.

To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun.

Dave

    Hi

    Joan - Spring is indeed nearly here - and plenty of objects from around the world in your image

    Rafael - welcome to SFTW! I'm glad you've cleared up that longstanding mystery for us. I'd not realised that they grew head down though

    Ponytail414 - Welcome to you also (that's a nice website linked in your profile !) . That looks perfectly summery.

    It's always nice to see new participants here - I hope you join us in future weeks

    Dave, thank you for the nice welcome! I’ve been lurking for a while, enjoying all the contributions, finally got an idea for one!

    And yes, they grow them upside down and when they are big enough they flip them right side up, pot and everything. Some lose their pots but others keep them:

    This isn't what first came to mind but evolved as I was trying to do something else:)

    Wobart and Graham, there are so many things waiting to bite you on the bum in the dunny in Oz, and some of them can totally ruin your day.  Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't like to live there.
