So it's been a while. I had this nasty cold that was going round and it took a bit of time to shake it off and catch up with everything. However, I am back and here are some ranunculus I bought at the weekend. Aren't they pretty? Photographed in natural light and edited in Lightroom and Photoshop - mostly colour adjustments to make them look as bright as they look on my table. :D

Available as prints, phone and tablet cases, mugs and travel mugs, wall hangings and shower curtains, cushions and various bags and pouches, duvet covers and stationary cards. Oh and mouse mats. :D Have a ball. Have a set. :D

Blood Wood

This was an ordinary picture of a spring wood with wild primroses and bluebells and trees... however, then I got my hands on it and turned it into a blood wood inspired by the TV series of Game of Thrones. I wanted something a little ominous and magical.

I love magnolias. They are so amazing with the big blowsy and waxy blossoms in all shades of pink, lilac and cream, and some of them looking like stars. It doesn't get much better than that. :-)

This was taken at the same time as the other spring pictures, just took me a little while to upload it. LOL It's a Japanese quince and I love their bright colour amidst all the soft pastels of Spring. Textures and colour adjustments added, but mostly as is. :-)

Spring Light

Picture taken last week and since it is almost the weekend (and it's of course raining) I thought it'd be the perfect image to spread a little cheer. Textures and colour adjustments added, but mostly as is. :-) In case you're wondering, I think the flower is called a grape hyacinth.

Found these lurking in my garden and couldn't resist, especially with all the snow this morning and the cold this time of year. You wouldn't believe it is Easter if not for these littel guys hiding away or the buds on the trees... Brrrrr....

Snowdrops

 Taken a few weeks back, I just never got round to posting the image. I love snowdrops, like cherryblossom and magnolia they're heralds of spring. These were wild in the middle of the woods.

Golden Light Cherryblossom

Taken a few days ago on the one sunny day we seemed to have last week. I love cherryblossom and magnolia and the plumtree in my front garden because they herald spring and that winter is almost over. I am not a winter person, unless it's big drifts of snow and blue skies... However, spring is almost here... despite the snow last week.

Taken a couple of days ago. The first spring blossom. Makes you hope that winter might be over again for a year, maybe, even if there's snow on the ground in March. :-)

Now and again the story of my first love comes up again in a dream. It's, oh so many years ago, but still sometimes I remember it. Do you have a love like that?

This is the illustration to my poem of the same name which you can read here:
