I love seeing plants thrive in the most unexpected places. Like these Rudbeckia (aka Black Eyed Susan), reaching up between paving slabs and a garden bench, defying the odds. They caught my eye and it felt like a scene that needed to be captured and remembered. It’s a quiet reminder that even when our surroundings … More Rudbeckia: Thriving
While spending time in the garden recently, I was drawn to the vibrant colours of these blooms. The brilliant yellow petals and deep orange tones seemed to glow against the darker foliage, creating a natural contrast that immediately caught my eye. What might appear to be a simple garden flower reveals an incredible amount of … More Marigold Garden
Every summer, there’s moments when the garden seems to hum with light. When the Rudbeckia hirta (Black-eyed Susan), opens its petals and turns toward the sun. I’ve always been drawn to that warmth, the way these flowers seem to hold the season’s energy in their golden folds. Photographing these flowers feels like chasing & capturing … More Rudbeckia hirta
As the gardening season begins to wind down and many summer blooms fade, Asters step forward to provide one final burst of colour before autumn fully arrives. Their vibrant purple petals and golden centres bring life to borders and flowerbeds at a time when many plants have already completed their seasonal display. I decided to … More Asters in Purple
A little pocket of Summer sunshine, preserved in these Barberton Daisies. There’s something quietly uplifting about the way light plays through petals. How it transforms a simple flowers into a living embers of colour. When photographing these Barberton Daisies I’ve tried to capture that fleeting warmth, the moment when the sun brushes across the garden … More Barberton Daisies
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
