This is a special lenticular cloud for me as it appeared while we were on our honeymoon! Have to say I was very impressed.

Nigella Flower
Such a pretty flower that seems to go by many names. Love-in-the-mist and ragged lady I guess you could think ok, strange naming but ok. But Devil in the bush, not sure how that one transpired. Hoping to have more of these growing this year.

Grass Snake in the pond
There have been many great opportunities to get photos of nature when often it is just there. No looking needed. They come to me. If you have a pond (or had use of one like I did), it’s awesome finding new things and seeing new visitors each day. Sometimes birds stopping for a bath, dragonflies passing through, newts and various insects and spiders.
But one day, there was something else. I bigger head and pair of eyes than I was used to, and may have thought it was a frog at first glance. Then it lifted it’s head a bit. I have to admit I turned towards the house and shouted ‘Quick, grab my camera, it’s a fucking snake!’. And it was.
Luckily he was curious and moved into a better position for a moment. I felt very lucky that day.

Painting – Cherry trees
Trying out some new things, I suddenly decided I wanted to paint cherry trees. The full blossoming kind, you know the ones. And yes, it was a good excuse to use the shimmery pink. But I was quite pleased with myself. It’s a new experience for me being able to recreate in visual format what it is in my head. Drawings are different and dont start with any kind of plan. Painting is now my favourite.

White spotted rose beetle
This white spotted rose beetle was abundant in Spain, furry little beetles dozily flying around and bumping into things. Plenty of opportunity for photos 🙂

Muscari (grape hyacinth)
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 🙂
