Magical Colours in the Autumn Woodland

Fantin Latour

A rose named after the famous artist,
who lived and worked for some time in England
during the year 1861.

Planted now, this Old Rose will flower in early Summer
and the fine scent is of Turkish Delight...

The scent of attar of roses...

Winter Flowers

A this time of year,
colour in the garden
becomes a priority.

The thought of having fresh flowers
straight from the back yard keeps
spirits up and
challenges the gardener's skill.



Winter flowering Clematis is a must...

Memories of a May Garden

This photo was one of the first taken
with a new
Sigma Apo Macro lens.

It took some time to manage the new controls
and have less blur in the final images.

However, for some reason, this was a very
successful photo with viewers and
I continue to wonder why.

Apple Blossom

I had the good fortune to attend lectures by Dr. Lamb.
His love of apple trees was intense and inspirational.

Thanks to his influence, our garden is now full of fruiting
trees and already the thought of next year's apple blossom
is in the air.

Somehow the light in Spring, under glass,
has a quality that encourages good Bokeh.
