Pretty Fuchsia

These pretty pendant flowers are called Fushia but have also been known to be called Ladies eardrops. They remind me of my childhood, of when I would squeeze the pod open between my fingers before nature could, and loving the little ‘pop’ sound they made (I don’t do it anymore though!). We still have some in our garden today and I love the bright colour and memories they bring throughout the year.
I’d love to hear what flowers make you smile or have a special place in your memory
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

I thought I’d try and take some more macro shots as it’s been a while. I quite like this one but it’s not quite as sharp as I would like. I’ll keep trying though and hopefully post some more macros images soon
Scarf pin jewels

I love the range of colours, shapes and sizes used in these scarf (or hijab) pins that can be used to dress up an outfit by adding a splash of colour or a hint of a sparkle. My particular favourite is the blue one which is nice and bright for upcoming summer days.
Jelly beans

I go through phases where I love jelly beans and this tiny scoop is really handy for getting at them (curtesy of my sister). My favourite flavours are the lime, watermelon and mango ones. Which ones are yours?

I love the striking colours and simplicity of gerberas
Delicate pink

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)
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
