It’s been hot and humid here in London recently which in turn have meant lots of thunder storms. These clouds were captured as a storm was gathering and later turned into heavy rain, thunder and lightning. I was hoping to photograph some lightning but I don’t think I quite have the skills for it yet, but it’s definitely something on my list of things to capture
The rich, deep red colour of the petals of this flower are quite nice to see in summer and are a change from the bright, lighter coloured flowers that are in bloom at the moment. I think they create a striking image against a lighter background

I thought I’d try and take different kind of picture with these roses instead of my usual macro shots. Seeing these sitting in a pretty vase made me think back to the still life paintings in my art books from the Renaissance period, which were wonderfully done, with lots of colours, details and depth. I know that this photo is quite simplistic in comparison to those grand paintings and I’ve used a camera (because my paintbrush skills are no where near as good as I wish they were) but the composition gives it the same feel and I think lets you see the colours and details by standing back to admire the whole scene instead of up close and just seeing parts.
What do you think of my attempt? Do you think my photo could resemble a simplistic version of a still life painting or am I just being overly hopeful?
I love the details of these pebbles scattered around the beach; all the different shapes, sizes and colours
This lake is in a local park that I visited recently, and with the weather so sunny and bright it made the lake look really pretty. I was tempted to take a boat out but thought better of it, as knowing me I’d probably fall in!
My younger sister had a lovely baby girl today and I can’t wait until they get home so I can see them both, especially my little niece who I know will be bright, beautiful and fun just like these flowers
