I watched a video that said to use a flash outdoors when you photograph flowers. So, I tried it with one of my prime lenses and sure enough, it works pretty good. However, not so good with yellow flowers. In fact, the yellow wild flowers were hard to photograph period. The bug, don't know what kind, was a bonus. I didn't see him until I processed the image..:)

Just outside the town of Bara, in southern Sweden, the land rises a little from the surrounding plains and in spring the ground becomes covered with a chequerboard of rapeseed flowers and young grain crops in their brightest colours. On the day I visited it was nearly mid-day so the sun wasn't giving much depth to the scene but the broken cloud gave rippling shadows giving movement and interest.

Another beautiful day! Having done blossom for the last 3 days, why not make it a 4th with a twist? Blossom+Portrait!

Taken in the New Forest after a heavy, but brief, rain shower. The spring leaves catching the sun as it breaks and the rain starting to come off the road as steam.

The completed 300 piece jigsaw puzzle "Spring Has Sprung," by Art and a Little Magic, and manufactured by Spilsbury Puzzles. I know this is almost a week early for Spring, but I wanted to get folks in the mood. Hopefully I won't cause a blizzard before winter's end!

Thank you for visiting, faves and kind comments. Have a good day!

Yay! Spring.

Here is my version of a male cardinal, I have seen these many times outside my house-and decided to attempt to create one; out of LEGOs of course. The model has movable wings and legs and a small stump to perch on.

Thanks for checking out my build! What do you think?

Have a great day!

Thanks for your kind visit and your comments, my friends.

Getting ready for Spring <3

Wish you have a happy weekend and happy Easter.

This is one of a clump of tall Snowdrops, about a foot high. Unlike some of the smaller varieties, these have multiple flower heads.

Spring is still springing in spite of sudden drops of snow in Rosedale.

The last few of this batch of flowers while I wait for others to come into bloom. After one or two warm and sunny days, it's back to cool rain, so that won't be enticing them to flower. I have a few shite foxgloves and several pink - and this one, which seems to combine the two.

P87 passes through the sea of redbuds at Grovestone siding on this beautiful Spring morning.

Spring has arrived, and so getting these details captured is a must ;))

A joyous weekend to you my dear friends and contacts.

I wasn’t sure whether these are called Whitebells, or have some other name. In fact they are, and I have several, as well as the more traditional bluebells. To my surprise, according to the National Trust, they’re a rarity, caused by a genetic mutation within a population of bluebells, which results in a white flowered bluebell. It is estimated that the proportion of blue to white flowered bluebells is 10,000 : 1. Mine are flowering very happily alongside their blue counterparts.
