Floral Friday – FF#81 – Cornflower
Back in 2020 finally when they lifted lockdown, we visited Rosemoor gardens in Devon.

Believe me trying to turn around one of those huge […]

Floral Friday – FF#80 – White Flowers
There is just something about this image that just caught my eye… But I don’t really know why. Was it the abundance of the flowers? Could it be the neatness of the petals? All I know as soon as I saw this bunch of white flowers I had to take the shot. Camera Settings Camera: […]

Bateman House

One-to-Three November
Every month Kate holds a photo challenge called One-to-Three, where you pick and image and make three different edits of that photograph. The other morning, as I returned from the 5.30am train jaunt, I came into my lounge and took an image of a vase of flowers I have standing on my fireplace mantel. In […]

Primroses
I was just sitting here today thinking about the seasons, and then realised that in about 3-4 months times we will be in spring. Once Christmas has been and gone, we will be counting the days down to spring. And one of the flowers that I do love in spring is primroses. Camera Settings Camera: […]

Floral Friday – FF#78 – Daffodils from Marle Place
Back in 2015 we wanted to visit somewhere different. It had to be sort of locally and within Kent. Google gave us a select of gardens to visit and one of those places was called Marle Place near Brenchley in Kent. As we paid our fee to get in, the lady behind the counter told […]

In 2015 we spent three nights in San Francisco… we didn’t arrive till early evening and just time to have a spruce up before dinner.
