Storm Force Winds in Drakewalls!!

All this wind means the flowers are damaged and waterlogged so getting them to photograph has not been easy. My xmas lights from China arrived this week, so I can now add back bokeh (out of focus bits) without flooding the studio (the wet way involves spray guns, angled flash guns and a lot of good luck!), and here are the first trials – some with a Chive head and some with a fallen Foxglove – I must wash my hands – the digitalis won’t help!!

Bluebells and others

After cat sitting mushrooms come local bluebells. We have the two sorts here the fuller larger invaders and the more delicate indigenous species. The church on the hill is Brentor. I have photos for sale at http://www.tamarvalleyphotos.co.uk

More Daffs

As the daffodils come out I am trying to get different varieties, also playing with backgrounds. Also tried the moon, but I think I over exposed them!

Spring Flowers

The daffodils are coming out and bunches are for sale at roadside stalls so I have had an abundant supply!! I have a large bowl of bulbs in the garden away from the slugs and snails which I tend carefully every year – well I water it occasionly – and that is full of crocii. So with such a beautiful day on Sunday I took the camera outside for its spring outing!! I then cut one flower for the studio……
