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:…

Starburst – Gazania
Well, Mr Bing stood me up today. I’ve just spent the last half an hour trying to find this beautiful flower’s name. So, if any of you know the name of this flower could you please comment and let me know.

Powder Paint Dahlia
Six months into our photography jaunt, we discovered a place called Nymans, which is owned and maintained by the National Trust. Within the grounds, there are formal flower gardens, the ruins of buildings destroyed by fire, and the main house. It was while walking around these beautiful gardens and admiring the summer flowers that I…

Peony
Just 18 months into our photography journey and a few cameras later, we headed for London to visit Eltham Palace Gardens which is owned and maintained by the English Heritage. At that particular time, we were told no photos in the house only in the gardens. Which was rather a shame because the entrance hall…

Pom Pom Dahlias
Well today it’s back to the DIY for us… finishing off that dreaded leak that happened in our cloakroom. So far so good, the leak has dried out and it seems fixed. So, posting this weekend, will be hit or miss… just Flower of the Day for the time being. It has turned cold here……

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:…

Gardenia… from Morden Hall
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Back in July 2012, during the Olympics we headed to a place called Morden Hall Park, in London. I was spell-bound with the abundance of roses, gardenias and flowers planted within the park. There is also a stream that runs through the parkland with a quaint wrought iron bridge. One…

Simply a Daisy
I love photographing simple singular flowers, especially from the top looking down at the centre of the flower. And there is nothing simpler that a daisy… with its white petals and yellow centre.
