Bluebell and Bug

104/365

We have more bluebells along the riverbank this year, much later and set to last longer than usual.  This one seems to be of interest for this little (undentified) bug!

Ramsons

102/365

I love this Spring flower, more so than the Bluebells that appear at the same time.  Between them the Ramsons and Bluebells give a stunning display.  The Ramson is distinctive in it's delicate appearance and in it's fragrance, and for me, brings lots of happy memories to the fore.

Ramsons

This could be something for the bedroom wall (recently renovated and very 'fresh')... so I strive for "The Perfect (to me) Ramsons Shot".   Although I like this one, it's not "The One" and so the quest continues.

Cuckoo Flower

Nothing to do with Cuckoo's but a pretty little flower that covers our fields at this time of year.

Daisy Daisy

Daisy on the driveway;  complete with dandelions in the background.  The weeds are running riot - but I don't think of a daisy as a weed, I rather like a daisy.

Little Bells

Perfect little bells of the Pieris.


Little Bells

The Peiris are positively dripping in flowers this year, it's the first time we've seen such an impressive display of on this shrub.

Textured Tulip

76/365

Our solitary tulip.

Textured Tulip

We only have one tulip in our garden.  Every year it stands out from the crowd of  muscari and chionodoxa in the flower bed, and every year I think "I must get more tulips planted".  Every year I forget...

The texture has been applied in Photoshop. I had a bit of a play with textures a while back but couldn't really get the feel for them. Having been inspired by the results achieved by others I thought I'd give it another go. I'm pleased with how this one has turned out and will have more of a play with them.

Daffodils

41/365

Poor daffs, one minute the sun is shining and they are beaming upwards, the next they are flattened by frost with heads bowed.

Daffodils

They still struggle on!

Having found myself very short of time today, it was a grabbed shot of a primrose just outside the front door in failing light for todays picture.

It won't be long now before the Snowdrops disappear until next year, so please forgive another  snowdrop shot.

The first daffodil (almost!) and the promise that Spring is just round the corner.

There are other daffodils nearby in bloom but this is the first of ours to appear.
