The crossover of seasons sometimes makes for gorgeous, timeless floral combinations such as early camellias and late roses.
Picking flowers to take photos of them has become one of my favourite activities, I’m slowly learning techniques for styling shots to create a beautiful image seemingly from nowhere; sometimes I fluke a really nice shot.
We’ve had some perfect autumn days lately but we’re heading in to some more cold, wet weather. Just for something different.
A working bee with friends last weekend has seen my garden whipped into a bit better shape than it was but there’s still a way to go.
Some Hawthorn saplings (a weed tree in my area) were cut and poisoned, this needs to be done very quickly so the wounds don’t start sealing off before the poison is applied. This is called the ‘cut and paint’ method and works effectively on woody weeds like tree saplings.
I’ve been drying some Hydrangea flowers to feed my flower photography habit. I hope you like the pictures.
Til next time!
