The first Camellia in my garden, you know what that means?! Spring is on its way…

Arty Alliums
Just a quickie – this weekend has been a busy one with DIY, but I managed to spend some time taking arty shots of one of the large Allium blooms in the garden. I’ve used a very shallow depth of field to enhance the bokeh.
For the photo below I focused on the inside of the flower, which pushed everything else out of focus, although unconventional I really like the effect.
In most of the photos I’ve purposefully kept parts of the bloom out of focus to suggest its shape.
I think my favourite is the one below, I like it because of the light and tones I have captured in the petals.

Day 52/365 – Speedy
Whilst at Sians house I met this little guy… he’s fast!
His names Alfie, he’s 16 and a Horsefield tortoise.
I know its a photo-a-day, but I had to post one of his feet!
Day 20/365 – Crystals
A macro shot of the ice built up between the decking boards in the garden. I love the little crystal shapes.
