Flower of the Day 30th April 2023
One of my favourite gardens to visit is Great Comp Gardens near Sevenoaks in Kent. When we visited back in October last year, the beauty of their dahlias was inspiring and there were dahlias everywhere, each being of a different variety. But today, on the 30th of April 2023, I want to focus on a…

Below is a list of the entries for FF #87 Floral Friday Photography Challenge. Be sure to check the wonderful floral images for…

Flower of the Day – 27th April 2023
I really can’t believe that it is 8 years ago that we were heading to America on a trip that toured the west coast… with our first stop being San Francisco. On our free day to roam around San Francisco we went to the Conservatory of Flowers, located in the Golden Gate Park. With in…

Trio of Dahlias Way back in October we took a trip to Nymans in West Sussex and as we strolled through the gardens, we came across a selection of dahlias in full bloom. Memories came flooding back to me, of my dad tending the dahlias he was growing in the garden. I too love dahlias……

Mid-Week Monochrome #127
Bodiam Castle Here in the south-east of England we have such wonderous history and many-a-castle to explore. One of the castles we’ve visited before is Bodiam Castle in East Sussex. And last week, we revisited the castle at the height of spring. And remember, you can take a short walk to Bodiam Station, to catch…

Water Water Everywhere #173 – Aria Force
I really can’t believe it was nearly six years since we spent a few days in Cumbria. I loved the scenery, the ruggedness of the mountains and hidden gems that we found within the countryside. One of the hidden gems we discovered was Aria Force. Aria Force is a 65 ft waterfall located in the…

Looking Up – Bodiam Castle
Just by looking up you can find a totally different perspective of architecture. Take for instance our little trip to Bodiam Castle in Kent. As much as I enjoyed the ride… I was finding the trip exhausting… two trips in 3 days, perhaps was a bit much, I thought! But alas, no it was the…

Flower of the Day – 24th April 2023
‘In ancient mythology the Camellia symbolises love and devotion.’ The camellia is another of my favourite flowers, and at Broadview Gardens, near Hadlow Kent, stood this beautiful Cameillia shrub and an ideal specimen for Cee’s Flower of the Day Photography Challenge. The gardeners must have put in so much effort to keep it healthy and…

Flower of the Day – 23rd April 2023
Cluster of Daffs On Wednesday we took a drive to Bodiam Castle. Even though I didn’t feel good, I thought the fresh-air and trip would help. Little did I know, it was going to be no help at all. And as we headed back to the car, within the picnic area stood these beautiful upright…

Flower of the Day – 19th April 2023
Tulips from Broadview Tulips are so wonderous and have such beauty. Whether they stand tall or bow their heads. And what I love about the tulips I photographed the other day, is the deep maroon colour and how it turns to pastel pink at the top of the petals. These tulips were spotted at Broadview,…

Mid-Week Monochrome #126
Fountains Abbey Fountains Abbey is one of the most peaceful and tranquil places we have every visited. The ruins are spectacular, so I thought this image is a good choice for our Weekly Mid-Week Monochrome Challenge. Thank you to all those who have participated in the last MWM challenge, and you can view the entries,…

Flower of the Day – 18th April 2023
There are many varieties of tulips available but what inspired this image was their pointy petals as they stood tall amongst the borders of Broadview Gardens. Until, tomorrow, I do hope this photograph warms your heart like it did mine. Posted as Part of Cee’s Flower of the Day Photography Challenge. Wanna take part in…
