Grandma’s Garden

 

This time of year, I absolutely love going to my Grandma’s garden and seeing what it offers, photographically. I can’t enjoy much else about it since the Hayfever gets me everytime! But the beauty of the garden is just…amazing. I try my best to capture the blossom and blooms on camera. So here are a few to share, just like last year!

The sun has been shining all week, it’s been most out of character! The weather has been around 15 degrees and everything has just flourished – including the energy to do things and get out with the camera! This weekend will bring more photo opportunities as well, which is quite a nice prospect. Add in the three day weekend and it’s pretty much perfect!

Pansies are my favourite flower along with Blossom. I always used to (try) growing them when I was younger. Their little faces are quite strange for a flower, but pretty at the same time. I remember them always attracting ant nests though! Not so nice…

Spring has sprung…

With April, came the sunshine. We’ve been waiting pretty much since Christmas for the sun to shine, and today it has done! The weekend has been fairly nice too. So what better way to see in a new month, and a new season – with a fresh blog post? I know it has been a while, but lots has been keeping me occupied!

William and I photographed the wedding of Lindsey and Keith on Saturday. It was a beautiful location that I shot at last May as well, It was so nice to be taking photographs at a place that I was familiar with! I hope this happens more in the future too. So in the coming weeks I’ll have those photographs to share too. They’re all done and ready for Lindsey to see when they return from their honeymoon – for now though, I’ll just share the sneak peek of the box I’ve custom made for them…

I discovered a fantastic tool called ‘The Boxer’ – and it does exactly what it says on the tin. You can score lines in paper or card to make boxes of pretty much any shape and size (within reason of course.) I’ve got my eye on the pro boxer tool thingy-bob. Birthday is looming!

Since it’s Easter, I had to do a themed shoot and decided to use Easter Chickens. I’ve wanted to find these again for quite some time, and my sister bought me some for my Easter gift, so the opportunity was perfect. Expect more of these little creatures in the near future, I’m planning to get creative!
