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 Yellow Lilies: Hint of Summer
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

On a typical Sunday trip to the in-laws back in May. One of those days where we actually thought we might get some summer weather this year I had decided to take my camera with me and capture some photos along the way. Haven’t had a lot of time lately to collate all the photos … More Dandeion Timeclocks
Continuing on from the previous blog entry about the Sheffield Botanical Gardens. I managed to get lots of shots of various flowers and plants. This isn’t normally my favourite subject to photograph, although there were so many different colours and shapes that captured my interest in the summer sun. These red flowers I will be … More Botanical
