Lighter mood

Here is a more “lighter” mood, summer yellows and whites , more documentary take on my flowers. One pink one too

I am on an editing frenzy, trying to apply all the new skills I have required during the isolation period. I took these shots after a rainy moment. These are all rather dark, I am trying to capture the evening mood to them. How did I do? Too much?

Summer flowers

This time of the year one is for sure not without things to photograph, I’ve taken these from our summer house, where the nature is near and present at all times. I know I post similar photos every year, but I am also delighted by them yearly.

Forget me not

It would mean two things, I hope you will not forget me or a pretty flowers. Obviously, I am not asking you not to forget me.Obviously, I would be very sad if you do 🙂 It is the time of the year when these small delicate flowers bloom in my yard, and every year I take photos of them. You know, Same, same but different. So one again a offer you a collage full of images, that me predictable in that sense 🙂

Fresh from the camera 5/2020 ~2

I really enjoy this time of year, I marvel it at every spring. The nature coming out and bringing the fresh greens and yellows out for our enjoyment. The spring has had a boost the past week – I am loving it.

Bits and pieces

Summer bouquet

I took a walk on the gravel road and picked summer flowers for my deck

Waterlilies

It is that time of the year that you can spot some waterlilies. We spent few hours at Mustio Castle grounds. It is a place I yearly love to visit, one of the reason is these flowers.

Garden flowers

I took some photos from my garden, but mostly I have revisited my photos from Amalfi coast as I have such urge to a travel , well nearly anywhere 🙂

April 29

April is coming to end and there are some signs of the spring reaching us here in the north. As May takes over I will be posting macro shots of nature. That’s were I will be able to witness it first in details. This weekend I noticed three flowers popping up… it is a beginning.
