Muscari (grape hyacinth)

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

More of Spring showing itself in the garden. First two are from this year and a second two from last year too, it’s such a pretty flower. I used to think they were unopened bluebells when I was growing up, took me years to work out they were a completely different flower! 

A framed print is available for the muscari with yellow primula in the back and also available on the full range of redbubble products 🙂

Wild Orchids (Spain)

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

Out on one of our walks in Spain, we stumbled across these orchids up in the hills. I was so excited to find not just one wild orchid type, but three! I have found a few wild orchids in the UK while out walking the dogs but never with a camera in hand. Spain however is vastly different, wildlife and insects literally just lying around. Sometimes I figured it was just too hot to do anything, for them included. Which was great for photo opportunities (hence the abundance of photos I have from spending just two years there). But these were a real treat to see.

Daffodils

Beautiful and bright flowers, reminds me of my birthday being in the Spring so I always get excited when I see them. My grandparents used to have a meadow nearby which in the spring was covered in daffodils and summer covered in bluebells so they represent happy times. I can definitely see my love of nature started very young.
