Earlier this year we planted some Strawflowers, which I have taken various photos of during the summer. Although these are the first photos that I have shared on my website so far. These flowers have intrigued me as they are unlike most flowers that I have seen as they change appearance everyday depending on the … More Strawflowers
Most of my photography usually involves going out exploring the world around me to find that certain “something” that captures my interest. These photos were taken a little closer to home, in our own garden in fact. Over the past three years I’ve been growing our own little lavender patch. This year our lavender looks … More English Lavender
Dandelions we either love them or hate them, we either see them as flowers or weeds. Dandelion seed-heads (dandelion clocks) are reminiscent of childhood.

During these times of lockdown that the UK finds itself in at present due to COVID-19. As we are all self-isolating at home and self-distancing when we do have to go out, it is even more important to take a moment to enjoy the natural world around us. Following Government Social Distancing guidelines we are … More Spring is Upon Us

It’s nice to see the blossom on the trees, another reminder that spring is here. I think we are definitely enjoying getting out and exploring the great outdoors … More Blossom in Bloom
Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield, South Yorkshire It’s almost the end of March and a visit to Ecclesall Woods in Sheffield is like stepping back in to Autumn. There are only a few signs that Spring is upon us.
