A Burst of Colour
/
How has your weekend been?
As it was dry today we've been doing a little bit of gardening. We're changing quite a lot of it at the moment so there is lots of mud and very little colour.

Beautiful Spring Blossom
/
Trying to tempt Spring to come back.
Last week we enjoyed warmer weather, blue skies and blossom on the trees. This week we've had wind, rain and it's felt less Spring and more Winter.

I love how bright and bold this flower is, I'm not sure when I actually took this photo but it's one of my favourites.
I've recently made this into a new greeting card along with a few other floral designs.

It's the start of the school holidays for the girls, now they have 7 weeks holiday.
I miss those long summers.
This photo was shot on the Pixel 2 phone in portrait mode. If you've never used it for flowers before then give it a go, it works so well.

Today feels like a flower day.
It has been such a busy but enjoyable weekend. Over the past 4 days I've taken part in my first photography exhibition and it was brilliant but hard work.
So I need to sort a few things out, I've lots of ideas to plan and I think a few days off Instagram won't be such a bad thing.

By this time next week, I will have taken part in my first photography exhibition.
I think I have everything ready and I'm excited but nervous to get it started.
I was setting it all up on Thursday and today is the first day then also Saturday and Sunday.

It definitely feels like a flower day.
I love roses, they always look so delicate. We visited a rose garden at the weekend and it had so many different types and colours.

/
This wasn't meant to be the photo this week, I planned on something and that all went out the window when I damaged ligaments in my ankle on Monday. This has meant that walking has been a struggle so hiking for a beautiful landscape hasn't happened.
Instead, I set up a tripod, camera and tulip to at least take a photo I was happy with.
Read More#MySundayPhoto - Mother's Day
/
A break from the usual landscape photos today.
Instead a beautiful single flower for Mother's Day. It's been a while since I took a floral photo, this was shot using a Nikon D610.
I'm also hoping the vibrant colour welcomes in spring and says goodbye to winter.
