Delicate pink

pink tulip
With Spring having arrived in the UK I have seen lots of tulips around which always look so pretty. I enjoy photographing these flowers as they are less tricky to focus on with their big petals and bright colours than smaller and more intricately detailed ones. I also like how although tulips look quite simple in shape you can still create lots of interesting images (like this one I have taken previously)

Almost there

purple flower
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

Yellow fish

I took this photo when I went to London Sea Life recently. It’s so difficult trying to take a decent photo of any of the fish through a tank and all the water, but I think this one looks ok (out of the hundred or so that I took).
This is called a Yellow Tang and it wasn’t whizzing around quite so much compared to the other fish

Spring

Blossom
There’s been rumours over the last few weeks that Spring is just around the corner here in London, but I haven’t been so sure. Over the weekend, however, the weather’s been wonderful; warm and sunny. I think we can now confirm that Spring is officially here. I can’t wait for the trees and buds to burst in bloom

I hope it’s brightening up wherever you are too

Leeds Castle

14042012476
Leeds Castle was once lived in by King Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon and is based in Kent. I really enjoyed my visit here a couple of years ago and what I really liked was that the castle actually looked like castle; it has an enormous, beautiful garden (including a maze and grotto) and is surrounded by a moat just like you’d imagine and like you see in the films. I wonder what it would feel like to live there…
