Being In The Spotlight, The Photography Creations Of Ashley Watson

Recently I spoke of hightlighting the work of those who gave me some really good writing suggestions and I am a woman of my word. Today I will be covering the photographer Ashley Watson also known as Lotash by his followers and I for one happen to be one of them for the brilliant, creative photos this man continously comes up with.

Because Ashley takes has two different sides of photography, I am going to be adding it here as well as Mystify The Mind, obviously I thought it appropriate to add his beautiful floral photography here and Mystify The Mind for some of his awesome creative works. Both sides equally as good and both sides continuing to get better as time progresses.

If you want a photo taken Ashley is the man to take it but if you want a creative piece of photography, Ashley is 100 percent the man you want to take it! Take a look at some of this phenominal work and you will see why. All copyright on the below photos belongs to Ashley Watson.

Ideas And Creation

Well so far from posting yesterdays piece, I have had two new ideas come my way and ideas that were very good ones if I do say so.

One was for my gardening site, Artistic Visions Gardening and another was for Mystify The Mind. One friend asked me to write about some of the gardens I designed and another was advice I had to new content writers.

Today I am going to set out to work on my gardening article, which is something that usually takes me a bit of time becuase like most things in my life, I like my writing to be perfect and I also take the time to choose the appropriate photos that go with my work. I did in fact take the time to write my article on the  advice I have for new content writers which I only have yet to edit so with any luck I will be able to post that later today and if not at the latest,tomorrow morning.

Rather than publish these articles through publishing companies such as Factoidz, Wikinut and Triond, I am going to post them directly to my sites which I hope helps my sites as I have been doing a lot to them recently including marketing.

Also another idea I came up with last night was  for the people who do make suggestions and  that have a site they would like to display, I will post the link on my website  Mystify The Mind unless of course it is gardening related which I will then post on Artistic Visions Gardening. I will do an individual post on them  as well as a  small review  within the post it if they so wish. My first will be hightlighting the work of the photographer Lotash who takes some spectacular floral photography.

Thanks for reading everyone! Happy reading and writing!

How To Control Weeds, Insects And Diseases In Your Garden

There are three types of pests that can plague gardens: weeds, insects, and diseases. Management is absolutely essential when concerning one of these three types of pests. In this article I have written a description and some control methods to eradicate the problems including all natural home treatments and control methods.

A weed is any plant that grows where it is not wanted. Weeds are undesirable because they compete with garden plants for light, water, and nutrients, often depriving the desirable plants of what they need and sometimes even smothering them by wrapping themselves around the garden plant and choking them out. This type of plant can become.....

Exceptional Buy For Mountfield Lawnmowers

Image By World Of Power MountField Petrol Lawnmower

Recently I purchased a Mountfield mower from the World Of Power and I must say, it really was a great investment! A lot of their mowers, even hover mowers are an excellent value, the lowest priced mower starting at only 37 pounds!

I have always owned a self propelled gas mower but in Britain they can be quite expensive and for home use we decided to go for more less expensive and traditional brand, that is why we decided to take a look at the Mountfield mowers.

I have to admit, at first it was the fact that this lawnmower had a rear roller and was capable of making the stripy effect on a lawn that I love but after finding out it also had five settings to adjust for lawn height as well as a being a great buy especially for a petrol mower, I was hooked.

On top of all of that my new Mountfield petrol lawnmower is capable of picking up 55 litres of lawn clippings, which to me is terrific as it saves me numerous trips to the compost bin! It also has a high density steel cutter deck and again to me this is great because I know it can take a good beating without breaking, as I seem to mow over a lot of rocks and sticks.

Obviously a petrol mower is a lot better than an electric mower as there is no cords to have to constantly deal with and it is just a matter of filling it up my Mountfield and going. I am now able to achieve the look I want on my lawn with the knowledge my Mountfield mower is not going to break on me, although it does have a 2 year warranty.

Now all I have to do is wait for the grass to grow again,and another great part is I don't even have to buy any engine oil as I got this free with my Mountfield mower! Thumbs up for World Of Power and their terrific Mountfield lawn mowers!
