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

A vintage illustration of set of peonies which I love, cleaned up in Illustrator and mixed with bought resources in Photoshop. Something pretty for Spring. The sun is shining today. :D

Macro shot of a rose, enhanced in Photoshop, added splatter textures. Inspired by the rose in The Dark Tower by Stephen King. Everyone who knows the book will know why. :-)

Early Autumn Glory (Diptych)

I went to the woods yesterday and, no, I didn't find any teddybears having a picnic, but I found this, the most glorious golden light shimmering through the trees. I love the colours in the autumn and the wonderful light, even though it always reminds me that winter is coming and that summer is over. :-( 

I love the woods and the serenity that can be found in the wind making the leaves rustle and the smells wafting from the ground with each step you take and the light that shines through the trees like some benevolent spirit. :-) Sorry. I get carried away sometimes.

My own images plus bought resources.

Blue Moon rose from my garden. It's one of my all time favourites, not only is it big, blowsy, abundant and purple/blue it also has a very intense sweet smell. A few colour adjustments and a subtle texture.

Some photography from last week. This is Herb Robert, a cousin of the geranium and ever so pretty even though it's a weed. :-) I've added some colour adjustments and a very subtle texture. The left image is a close-up of the leaf the right image is of the leftovers from the flowers.

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. :-)

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.

Some lavender from last year's summer. I loved the simplicity of it and played around with until it looked like a pinhole image.

Taken at the park. I love the way the two branches grow together, maybe with Spring (hopefully) not that far away they will grow together even more with intertwining leaves... I thought it was a lovely alternative to the usual Valentine's Day sentiments.
