The weather has been a bit variable and so have the spring flowers locally, often later than usual and some affected by the late frosts. There is a small nature reserve 5 minutes walk from home which I often go through & has had good displays of garlic in the past. Whether its lockdowns or just more houses there seems to have been much more footfall through it & unfortunately the garlic now gets very trampled - new "paths" and areas where dogs have gone through it making for the stream through the reserve. I managed to find a small patch with some flowers in good condition and practiced some focus stacking through the bloom with a camera I'd hired to try out.
