There’s a particular kind of stillness that only reveals itself when you’re looking through a lens. The world narrows, distractions fall away, and suddenly the smallest details take centre stage. Capturing these photographs was one of those moments, a quiet study of symmetry and softness. What I love most about capturing images like this is … More Astrantia Major
A few quick snap shots of our homegrown lilies. Our garden is in need of a little TLC this year. But these Lilies never fail to come back each year and bring a little bit of sunshine with them to brighten up the garden. We’ve been a little distracted with other commitments, and the weeds … More Lilies: Hint of Summer
Most of my photo gallery posts recently have involved me delving into my photo archives for work that haven’t shared yet. Due to life and lack of motivation I have been guilty of letting my photographs hide away in my archives, sometimes for months before revisiting them. The other day I had a moment of … More The Common Daisy
Some days it is hard to see the light in the darkness. To see the beauty in world when times are tough. A few weeks ago, during a very grey and miserable looking day, I spotted these wildflowers doing their best to hold on as Autumn takes hold and the weather turns colder. It reminded … More Wildflowers Holding On
The Common Daisy aka lawn daisy or grass daisy. Some people may consider these as weeds, but I’m quite fond of them. They always make me think of Summer, childhood memories of picnics and daisy chains. I took these shots at a local woodland (Ecclesall Woods). Daisies, especially the Common Daisy probably aren’t most people … More Daisy in the Woods
As I mentioned in my earlier post, life has been hectic of late. Meaning I have not spent much time on my photography. So, this is my first photo post in some time. It feels like it has been a while since I have connected with nature. In particular photographing it. So a few days … More Wild Pink Cosmos
These shots were taken a few weeks ago now, but I’ve not had the motivation to write the blog post to go with it. I’m always torn between posting just my photos (literally just photo-blogging) or trying to write some sort of narrative to go with my photos. I never really know what to write. … More Spring in Mono
After 15 months of not being able to travel much further than our own local area due to the COVID pandemic, we finally managed to venture over the border to Scotland in June to visit family and friends. This meant we were able to explore more of the North-East of Scotland’s coastline and take in … More Red Campion
Memories of Spring…taken earlier this year while exploring a local woodland garden. These Drumstick Primula’s (Primula denticulata) caught my eye, their delicate white flowers highlighted by the Spring sunshine through the trees. Two of my favourite seasons are Spring and Summer. Seeing nature spring back into life and burst with colour again as the weather … More Drumstick Primula
At the start of Spring this year we visited Shire Brook Valley Nature Reserve, which is about a 20mins drive from us. From what I recall it wasn’t the best weather conditions for a nature walk. It had been raining the day before so a lot of the reserve was quite wet and muddy and … More Bulrushes
I’m sure that I am being stereotypically Scottish by saying that Thistles are one of my favourite flowers, but it’s true they are. These in particular are quite special as they are home grown. We have been growing Thistles in our garden for a few years now and they never fail to disappoint. Apart from … More Flower of Scotland
As we say goodbye to Winter and welcome back Spring I thought I would share a last glimpse of Winter for another year. Dark Frost is a set that I actually created last Winter (2019). After these photographs sat dormant in my archive it felt the right time to share them now. I wanted to … More Dark Frost
