Sunshine and More Flowers

A sunny but humid day here, still a pleasant change from the cold of late.  The variable light was quite nice for these pictures, though I used flash on the Oxlips to lift them a little.



 Red Campion    Silene dioica


Oxlips    Primula elatior



Daisy    Bellis perennis

Thanks as ever to The Children's Mother for helping identify the plants properly and dig out the latin names!

  1. Very nice. I could never understand why professionals preferred to photograph gardens in shade rather than bright sunshine but your pics illustrate the power of the deeper background.
