A couple of related photos for this week's Friday Foto. The first is a part of a beautiful tree covered in blossom. I don't know what kind of tree it is -- possibly one of the cherry trees, but it could be virtually … [Read more...]

I am really pleased with the nearly abstract look of this petal. It's one of the petals from a Peruvian Lily. The markings fascinate me -- they look like something exploding from the centre of the flower. You can … [Read more...]

I really like Snowdrops; pretty little flowers that herald the beginning of spring. I was lucky to be able to grab these photographs at our daughter's -- the house they moved into at the end of last year has quite a … [Read more...]
