I really like this photo of a sawn branch on a felled tree and thought it was an interesting one to use for this week’s photo challenge ‘circle‘. The texture of the wood and the ring of bark gives the branch and tree a really solid feel.
We’ve come to the last day of 2015 but it will always be frozen in time, captured in our photographs and memories. Here are my favourite photos of the year which I enjoyed taking and sharing with you all.
I hope 2016 is everything you want it to be and more. Happy New Year and enjoy the fireworks.
On my last visit to a local park I came across this interesting scene; this tree is leaning quite drastically but thankfully still looks firmly rooted to the ground. I think the tree trunk and outreaching branches at this angle create a striking composition and photo.
Summer has come to an end and Autumn has now arrived, here in England. Autumn is probably my favourite time of year, as the days are cool but still bright and there are less bugs around too which in my opinion is always good! The other things I love about Autumn are the beautiful displays of newly changed leaves, from luscious greens to fiery reds, yellows and oranges.
On one such bright a day, I decided to take a walk in one of the several parks near where I live. This particular park is lovely; it has a nice lake, a grand looking mansion with a pretty flower garden, and a boating and play area. Armed with my camera, I kept my eyes open for any new autumnal displays, and it wasn’t long before I came across lots.
The highlight of my walk was coming across some cute, late summer ducklings (I didn’t get too close in case their protective mother came after me) and several curious, cheeky squirrels who were very interested in my camera. I also loved seeing freshly fallen conkers reminding me of childhood fun-filled contests.
I really enjoyed my walk and as we go deeper into the season I’ll keep my eyes peeled for more interesting developments.
These white gaura flowers are really pretty and elegant looking, and would be a nice addition to any flowerbed.
Wondering around Hyde park earlier this year I came across the Italian Gardens. The Gardens have embellished statues, urns and large water fountains, all which create a really nice relaxing space.
The main water fountain leading to the top of the Serpentine lake was a combination of a group of boys holding a huge platter with a woman on either side holding an urn, all pouring water into the lake.
On the far side of the garden is a chapel with really pretty flowers planted on either side in neat geometric rows.
I thought the gardens were laid out nicely and kept in really good condition. I found them to be a calming space with the sound of rushing water from the fountains drowning out some of the background noise and pretty flowers soothing to the eyes. I’ll definitely look to visiting it again at some point.
This peony is really pretty with large, soft pink petals peeling back to expose the ruffled cream petals within. They look great in a vase and they smell nice too.
