crabapple tree in bloom
Known for their fragrant springtime blooms and jewel-like fruit, crabapple trees make beautiful additions to the landscape. These are from an old one that every years continues to give joy! There are tons of varieties to choose from, but here is one of the best ones for long-lasting, colorful flowers, fruit, and fall foliage when planted in a sunny spot.
Apple tree blossoms
I love trying to find good angles to take a photo, and light that brings the topic to its best. Sometimes I succeed sometimes not.
Forget me not
this is the time to take photos of this small and delicate beauty the comes to life when you look close enough. These are taken after the rain with small droplets still to be found in some shots.
The hydrangea in snow
Symbolism. The hydrangea represents gratitude, grace and beauty. It also radiates abundance because of the lavish number of flowers and the generous round shape. Its colours symbolise love, harmony and peace. Even in the winter when they are brown?
Frozen RED berries
I found some color amongst the snow.
it’s the that time of the year…
…to buy some tulips to brighten the day.
How to survive November 2020-25
Sitting at breakfast reading news even if they are not that inspiring. I started thinking about todays picture. So I was admiring the flower on the table and as quickly as the thought came to my head, it was done. Took my mobile, took a photo, problem solved. Sometimes its easy as that, if you don’t over think it. Small everyday joys, flowers saved the day!
The old photo is from our trip to the California last year. We met these old hippies, that is their words at a scenic stop on the road. The van and they look photographic together so we exchanged few pleasantries and I aske if I could take a photo.

How to survive November 2020-18
Sleep is so precious thing and I have a problem with it, but his morning I slept late until 9 am, and the best part was the night before It did not take me hours to fall a sleep. the bliss for not having to wait and wait for it to come. So today I am in much better spirits and today we have blue skies again. The joy of that is great.
I had neglected my orchid, I had forgotten to water it, today I did and also got my camera ready. These are my todays shots.

How to survive November 2020-15
It’s two pm on a Sunday, and it seem that I am doing my post about the same time everyday. This November has been so much better than few of the resent ones, even today, there has been a glimpse of blue skies, it has not rained all that much either. So, not at all as gray of a month, that I was dreading. Such a small joy, I am very happy about this.
Went out to try find something to take photo of, macro photography, is great as you do not have to go far to find something lovely to capture. This time it was a brown hydrangea at the end of its life span. Still pretty.

Today I am not posting old comparison, but other takes of todays topic. I always have such had time choosing what is my favorite as there are different moods and things that make them stand out as choices. I ended up with the above because it turned out nicely as black and white.
Colorful “November” berries
Sunflower
And the yellow sunflower by the brook, in autumn beauty stood.
Afternoon mist & blue moment
A flower’s appeal is in its contradictions – so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.

Lighter mood
Here is a more “lighter” mood, summer yellows and whites , more documentary take on my flowers. One pink one too
Summer time
Time to enjoy and relax
Dandelions
I love taking black and white photos of dandelion seeds, I think they look so much better this way than in color. This years take on the familiar spring , early summer topic.
Fern #2
Yellow Rose
No explanation really needed, this is a yellow rose. Enjoy!
Snowdrops
isn’t it one of the first signs of spring when snwdrops bloom in March. Today I spotted these in my garden. I did play around with the lightning to get different effects.
Pink Tulips
I did this thing I edit a photo then, obviously, I try it in monochrome. Here is the outcome of these tulip shots.
That time of the year
It is the time of the year when all SOME channels are filled with pictures of tulips. Why not, they are very colorful and elegant flowers in their simplicity. You guessed it, here are my interpretations for this year of this iconic flower.
Daisies
wild flower
Daisy
Can you see a difference, this is with a trad. camera not my mobile, versus the photos in my previous post?
Bits and pieces
Summer evening
It was a quiet evening at the country side. I took a walk on an deserted road, no one but me and my cameras. These I took with my mobile.
