This beautiful Burnet moth made it as our photo of the week purely because of it's character and colour. It refused to move away and my wife happily placed it out of the dog's reach. We believe this is a Burnet moth. These moths are actually active in the day, unlike most other moths. Luckily, they are common and not endangered.

This photo was meant to be a typical flower close-up, but instead a innocent bug got caught in the spotlight. We chose this photo because of the timely chance of getting a little insect in on the fun. The flower's beauty is definitely a bonus too.

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you were an orange? It would be pretty much like this photo. It's colourful, bright, beautiful. but short. Underneath this tree was an army of rotten oranges. Plenty of them were decorated with stab wounds from hungry birds. Do you still wonder about life as an orange?

Since I missed last week's "photo of the week" post, I decided to post one today. Our photo of the week is "Tower in the Sky". This beautiful architectural tower is actually a church bell. On our recent trip to Estepona, we spent the day roaming the streets. We came across this church in a courtyard. The pigeons regard it as their home and people regards it as a place of peace.

Our chosen photo of the week is The Blue Arrow . This flower radiates calm colours, yet its harsh, sharp design contradicts the softness. We chose this photo because of the interesting lines and colours. Nature knows best when it comes to design and contrast. If anyone knows what kind of flower this is, please let us know in the comments below! Check back next week for our next photo of the week.

The Rock of Gibraltar is something to admire, and has made it as our photo of the week pick. This photo shows the beauty of not only the British Territory, but also of Spain. Spain is known for its large, seemingly never-ending beaches. This picture captures that beach, as it winds its way to the Rock. The Rock of Gibraltar made it as our photo of the week. It has a beautiful Spanish beach stretching to reach it.  Other versions of this photo can also be viewed on Instagram ( here , here  and  here ), Pinterest  and DeviantArt ( here , here and here ).

For our photo of the week, we bring you Purple Lament. On one of our many walks around the neighbourhood, we spotted these flowers on the side of the rocks. We took only three pictures of it, but this picture stood out to us. We thought this flower represents our blog quite well, as it is a royal purple colour. Purple Lament has vivid colours, which won its place as our photo of the week. We hope you enjoy our chosen photograph.

You can also buy it as a print on DeviantArt. See you next week for another photo of the week!

The Ant on the Sand shows that we don't always have to look for something grand to shoot. Sometimes something small in a large empty space can make quite an impact. The contrast between the sand and ant made this our choice for the week. We hope you enjoy the photo! If you want to see another photo of this ant, be sure to visit our DeviantArt ( here and here ) and Instagram ( here and here ) pages. Just remember that the photos here are untouched. The other versions are usually enhanced in some way. See you again next week for another photo of the week!

The photo of the week comes with a little story. We bought a peach tree for our garden on a mere whim. It was there, in store, so we bought it. It was the end of autumn. With our severe lack of gardening skills, as this was the first rented garden we were allowed to work in, we managed to get the tree into the soil in the best possible place: spot on in the middle of the tiny garden.  The tree, ignoring our enthusiastic attempts of planting, stayed leafless. We thought we were perhaps watering a dead tree all through winter. Come spring, my wife came to me highly excited, but refused to tell me why.  Instead, she dragged me outside to our first tree together. Our first tree together. Surely, this is also considered a relationship landmark? To my wife's surprise (as I could never doubt my less-than-professional gardening skill) the tree showed than spring was indeed the time of life. The tree showed it's alive and very resilient with a few green leafs and pretty pink f...
