Even tho we’ve got a snow forecast and winter has come back for the week, we still have spring showing it’s face, determined to let us know it hadn’t forgotten us. My first tulip bulbs out. “Spring Green” and “Princess Irene”.

Gallery highlight - "Sunkissed" 

I love my macro lens, especially shooting wide open, so depth of field is really narrow.  That way the subject transforms and becomes ethereal and all about colour and form.  I spent over an hour with this one Calendula plant on a summer’s afternoon, just delighting in the shapes and vibrant colour to be found.  You can find this, and other images in the series in the "A Dream of Beauty" Gallery.

One of our trees in full blossom.  if you stand underneath you hear the loud drone of all the bees working the flowers.  A wonderful sound of spring.

Volunteering at the Otago Art Society yesterday, housed in the iconic Dunedin Railway Station. Worth a visit if only for the awesome building. Wonderful bunch of people at the Art Society and a variety of work on display to suit att tastes. Paintings, photography, jewellery, sculptures and more available in the shop. And a new exhibition in the wings in about a weeks time - the Hope & Sons Exhibition - open to the public on the 3rd October.

Went to open up the glasshouse before settling in to the computer for a bit of admin work, and just had to grab the camera for these delicious wee droplets that had formed on my tiny little tomato plants.  You never know what tiny moments of joy life is going to give you.
