On Sunday, I took a walk down through Singleton Park. The Botanical Gardens were brightened on this lovely spring day by this splendid show of Primulas:
There were still plenty of daffodils in bloom:
Summer Snowflake:
Further down the park, in the Ornamental Gardens, some native Bluebells (as well as the larger Spanish Bluebells) were coming into bloom, including this pink variant:
Most of the usual blue flowers were barely opening:
A more unusual white bloom:
These small pink flowers adorning a tree caught my eye as they were backlit by the late afternoon sun:
I liked the effect of the sun shining through this leaf against the dark background:
I continued down to the seafront, where I found the dunes alive with Dandelions. The headland known as 'The Mumbles' can be seen in the background:
Yet more backlighting, this time on Blackthorn blossom:
Finally, a large clump of daffodils planted by the roadside:
There are beautiful flowers, and your genius with the camera, its marvelous.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Bob. I think genius is a bit over the top, in my case. At least flowers don't run away, unlike birds!
