Well, here we are and Spring has rolled around again!
Traditionally Spring is a very wet season and if the forecast is anything to go by it’s going to be true to that. We’ve had some very dreary days leading up to now so it’s nice to start to see a bit more sunshine in between the rain, showers, sun showers, drizzle, and fine Scotch mists we’ve been having. Seemingly forever…
I’ll be honest. My garden is a shocking mess. All the water from the sky has made the weeds explode out of the ground. One good thing is, if I get on to it soon, they will be easy to get out.
I haven’t been out in the yard to take many photos lately, but I’ve been working on using old pics to create some ‘art’. The pictures featured in this blog post are composite pictures using the ‘double exposure’ function on the Snapseed app, each photo includes one which has been altered using the ‘healing’ function to create an interesting background.
These photos and others have been uploaded onto my redbubble.com site and are for sale on various products. My shop can be found under ‘Ambrolen’ as I didn’t realise the name couldn’t be changed. The things you learn when trying to enter the digital marketplace! If you check it out, don’t forget to follow me!
The photos will also be available on my website theflowerpotpen.com in the coming days (who am I kidding? It will be weeks…)
Back in the realm of reality, my garden is slowly coming to life again. I have gorgeous new pink leaves busting out of the Cedrela chinensis, bright yellow splodges of flowers on the Forsythia, and gorgeous, rusty red/brown leaves are popping out from the cut ends of my roses. My Jonquils are ending, there’s still some daffodils to come, and the few Tulips I have are struggling to push out their flowers. There’s leaf and stem growth aplenty, but I haven’t been close enough to check if there are any buds. I might get out and have a closer look today. I’ll let you know.
Til next time!
