I love the dazzling colours of a male peacock. I’ve posted photos of peacocks before but this one was so tame I was able to get right up close and take a photo of it’s amazing plummage and crest.

Scattered pollen
The detailed centre of this flower in contrast to the simplistic shape of the it’s petals makes for an interesting image. I also like the colour contrast of the vivid pink with bright yellow pollen that is scattered all over which also draws your eye

Burnt orange

This is a photo I took of fir needles that had turned a lovely burnt orange colour last Autumn. I think the vibrancy of colour and the small details of these pine trees really make for an interesting image
White staircase
I really like how this pretty white spiral staircase contrasts against the shapes, sizes and textures of the various green leaves that rise alongside it
Greenhouse at dusk
This greenhouse is called Temperate House and can be found at Kew Gardens. It is currently being restored and is closed off to the public but I like how it sits in this image with the pagoda almost a silhouette in the distance. The most arresting part of the image, for me though, is the cloud filled sky which was captured just as the sun was beginning to set, making it feel as if they could almost let off a light all of their own
Brown lines

I got this composition almost by accident; I was out in my garden with my camera and as I went to pick it up off the garden table I noticed that it was pointed in the direction of the fence which had vertical lines like those of the table.
I really like this image because the lines of the table draw your eye up towards the fence which continues the verticle line. The light falling on the table brings a contrast in colour to that of the fence which helps to convey greater depth. I think the top of the chair also helps to break up the image. I think this is an nice example of how simple lines, colours and light can be used to create a a refreshing composition even with ordinary, day to day objects. I’d love to hear what your thoughts are, what you’d change if anything and if you can give me any tips
Almost there
Image
I love these flowers in my garden, they remind me of daisies but purple. There are still several buds that haven’t opened but most have and this one is almost there too
On a completely different note, I didn’t realise it but I’ve now had this blog for 1 whole year! So thank you to all those that have visited and followed my blog and I hope you continue to do so. And I hope that I can carry on showing you my world, in an interesting and colourful way

Magnolia

The Magnolia tree in our garden is full of pretty white and pink flowers at the moment, which look even better against the bright blue cloud-free sky. It certainly cheers me up looking at them, knowing Spring has well and truly arrived in England
