Springtime at Alowyn Gardens

As I said yesterday I am going to show you more photos of Alowyn Gardens where springtime has emerged. It is probably one of the best times of the year there.

Floral Friday – Alowyn Gardens

Today I was out at Alowyn Gardens and I thought it might be good to do a post on the place for Floral Friday. Though I wasn’t there to take photos.

Floral Friday – Winter garden

It seemed like a good idea to show some of the photos from the Winter garden workshop last weekend for Floral Friday today. The garden at this time of the year can be interesting.

Floral Friday – Light hitting a Tulip

It is time for my Floral Friday post and today I was keen to work on a photo of a tulip that the light was hitting it in an unusual way. I tend to hate dappled light, but here it was perfect.

Weekend Wanderings – Alowyn Gardens

During the week I had a quick trip to Alowyn Gardens. I was there to talk about doing some workshops, but I also spent some time in the gardens and thought it would be a good post for Weekend Wanderings.

Playing with a Fisheye Lens on my Phone

Today I was at Alowyn Gardens to talk about some macro photography classes. While there I spent some time playing around the fisheye lens from Struman Optics on my phone.
