Flower of the Day 30th April 2023

In the Garden #15- Tulips
Looking back on our trip to Great Dixter… whilst I rested on a bench, Mr A. went for stroll around the grounds. He stumbled across some beautiful tulips and decided to take the shot looking down at them.

In the Garden #14- Fuchsia
Another fortnight has passed us by and it’s time for this beautiful fuchsia to get a touch of powder paint.

This vibrant colour is a real highlight amongst the other blossoms. Occasional…

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…
