Henry Moore at Kew

Currently, there is an exhibition of Henry Moore sculptures at Kew Gardens.

Chelsea In Bloom

Each year, to coincide with the RHS flower show, the shops and businesses in Chelsea hold 'Chelsea In Bloom'. Described as 'London’s largest free-to-attend festival of flowers', over 145 retailers, restaurants and hotels compete to create floral designs on a theme. This year's theme was ‘Out of this World’, and was broadly interpreted with space travel, astrology and fantasy designs. My favourites were the designs that both met the brief and stayed on brand for the business. These included the cow jumping over the moon at a butchers, a saucepan rocket at a kitchenware shop and 'Little Shop of Horrors' at a florist.

Late, Spring Flowers

 Some flowers that I should posted a while ago.

Bluebells at Gamsey

These images were taken at Gamsey Wood, a couple of weeks ago, when the bluebells were just hitting their best.

 

Pasque Flowers

On Easter Monday, it seemed appropriate to photograph the Pasque flowers on Therfield Heath. There was a good display and the flowers were at their peak.The weather was also the best of the weekend, although I still had to contend with the traditional Therfield breeze.

 

 

Spring Monos

Recently, in my social feeds, I have been seeing a lot of high contrast monochrome images of plants and flowers. I wanted to give it a go, so I took a few shots at the Botanic Gardens and have been playing with them in Silver Efex.
