First Spring

Last week the tree was bare but when I looked out the window the other day it had exploded with pink and it was absolutely beautiful. Last spring I took loads of photos of spring blossoms and said that I wouldn't take any this year because I didn't want loads and loads of flowers. But spring has sprung and I am flabbergasted yet again by the beautifulness of spring...so the camera came out. I used my Pentax camera to take these photos so the actual 'taking' of the photo was for educational purposes, to learn about the the f-stops(?) and the apertures(?) etc etc....as explained in a previous post.




I spent the afternoon in the garden the other day and it was the first time I explored the garden of where I am staying. It was an interesting experience because the owner of the house doesn't throw anything away and just hoards things from chimney pots to washing wheels. I don't really know what most of the things are but it they make for interesting photography. The garden backs onto a National Trust conservation park so there are loads of wild birds, foxes and rabbits that come into the garden. Walking over the grass was quite interesting because the ground was really lumpy from where the rabbits has burrowed. I wasn't sure whether the my foot was gonna disappear under ground with my next step.



At the bottom of the garden is the massive pink exploded tree (my name for it as I have no idea what kind of tree it is). Under the massive pink exploded pink tree sits an old wicker chair. It looks like it has been there for a lifetime and that it belonged once to the lady of the house. She used to sit in the shade of the massive pink exploded tree admiring its beauty or reading a play. It seems that the chair has a story to tell sat amongst the pink flowers and daffodils....
