Sweetpea Pink

A lovely flower that reminds me of my grandmother. She had them growing in their garden and would have a small bunch fresh on the table when they were in season. They look and smell really pretty and brighten up the garden nicely.

This is one of the very few photos I have of an organgetip butterfly, they are so quick and rarely land, but this one let me take a few pictures.

Spring…

It is the first day of Spring and the sun is shining. I can’t wait for all the insects to come out and for there to be some macro photography again. I have missed it. While in Spain I was spoilt with all year round photo opportunities, the UK is not so accommodating weather wise.

But last year, I made the effort in my new garden and planted more than I should have. Leading to some wonderfully colourful photos, but a fair amount of keeping it all in order and having to cull some of the more overbearing plants.

I’m not sure what will grow back, but that’s half the fun, seeing what nature will do and trying to compliment it.
