nature

As I get older, I appreciate the natural world more and more and this is reflected in my photography and writing.

Every year, long-ago planted freesia corms burst forth at our place and bring a scattering of flowers — often in the strangest places.

I’m not complaining though; their scent is wonderful.

A week of glorious sunshine has delivered lots of new growth and flowering in my garden. It’s especially exciting to see the plum blossom, but I think the bees are happiest amongst the borage flowers. You’ll have to take my word for that now — I was up too early to catch any in action.

This week’s Lens-Artists Challenge | Pick a Word offered Growing (amongst others). I thought I was done yesterday with Comfortable — but how could I resist flower photos.

And it’s Friday.
