Allum flower – Flower of the Day
Not far from us in Harlip, it the agricultural college. Within the grounds of the garden centre is Broadview Gardens, located at the back of the garden centre and those gardens are spectacular. Within one of the borders stood this lone Allum flower. What caught my eye was the deep purple buds at the top […]

Stoneacre – Pull up a seat…
Every Friday XingfuMama holds a photography challenge, called Pull Up a Seat. As XingfuMama say’s when you get older you find yourself looking for somewhere to sit and to take a rest. As I get older I find myself more and more often looking for a place to perch when I am out and about. […]

Floral Friday – FF#82 – Crocuses
One thing I love about spring is that spring is the start of the flowering season. Yes, there are shrubs that bloom in winter. However, when you start to see spring flowers, you know that the weather is hopefully getting warmer, and the sun is going to shine longer. Crocuses, you just can’t beat a […]

Flower of the Day – 12th January 2023 – Rhododendron
I just can’t believe that this photograph was taken nearly 8 years ago at Doddington Place near Sittingbourne in Kent. I love rhododendron flowers, but there is something about them, maybe it’s their variety of colours, or could it be how big the bush/shrub has grown. To be honest, I not sure. However, one thing […]

Flower of the Day – 11th January 2023
Eleven days in and it still feels strange typing 2023… I don’t know about you but the number of times I’ve had to had to correct dates so far this month, is astounding. It’s just like when you get married and change your name… that takes a fair bit of time to be able to […]

Playing with Texture
Sometimes, playing around can be real fun. And one of the things I love to play around with is texture. Texture is everywhere! In bricks, trees, flowers, everything that surrounds us has a texture to it. Fine Arts ~ . the characteristic visual and tactile quality of the surface of a work of art resulting […]

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: […]
