I really like the violet ‘bulbs’ of this flower which look like they could burst open at any time. I also like how the stalk growing tall and straight has a violet hue to match

Visit to the local park
We’ve had some warmer weather recently so I decided to go to one of the local parks for a walk and see if nature is showing any sign of waking up. There were some signs and as well as managing to take some good photographs I got some much welcomed fresh air too.
My favourite picture of the day is this one
I love how the water of the lake reflecting overhanging branches and the bright blue sky seems to appear like a waterpainting with soft brushstrokes. The mandrake in comparison is in sharpe focus, creating an almost surreal image.
I plan to come back soon and capture more of changing nature as the days get longer, brighter and warmer.
Early signs
We’re still in the middle of Winter here in England, but I’ve been out in the garden to see whether any plants have survived the cold season. Surprisingly, there were a few flowers still blooming, and there were also early signs of Spring and regrowth. I look forward to keeping an eye on developments over the coming months.
Daffodils
Its still too early for daffodils but my mum picked these up from a local shop and they really do make the kitchen brighter and more cheerful for this time of year, which I thought I’d spread around
Pause
I really like this picture, the rose buds on pause, waiting for Spring to arrive so they can open and become beautiful roses. I think they look pretty interesting now though; a sea of rustic, orangey-red, wavering in the soft breeze, an image of patience for what’s soon to come.
Pine tree protection
Nature always has a way of protecting the things that are vulnerable. In this instance the soft, fuzzy, growing pine seed/cone is protected by the sharp needles of the tree keeping away animals that may want to eat it.

Floating leaf
I thought this was a nice photo opportunity; to capture a lone floating leaf in clear blue water which fills the fountains in Trafalger Square, London. I really like how the light dances on the surface of the water, creating a sense of movement with the worn tiles on the bottom adding texture and detail.
