  • I’m going to declare May the Month of the Square. I’ll up the ante and add a challenge within a challenge, which is to only use the square format for the 365 pictures in May. Normally I stick to the format that the camera provides (which is 2:3 for the full format and 3:4 for…

  • Well, it was one of those days when I’d rather have skipped the whole 365-exercise. It’s windy and cold and after the warm weekend this just feels so … blah. I had no inspiration to go out at all, let alone stand still long enough to take a picture. So these bird cherry buds will…

  • My little babies are growing fast. A few of them are already so big that I had to repot them, these cosmos flowers (Cosmos bibinnatus) are the first off the block but then again, they will grow to be almost 1m in height. Which, come to think of it, I should’ve thought about when I…

  • This will be a mini-series, following my plants from seed to bloom. I’ve planted 5 different sorts, one of them being the same flower that I completely failed with last summer (all of them died after I moved them from the pots to the garden). I don’t know why they didn’t make it but this…

  • Still some ice left.

  • Today’s effort was a reminder that although flowers don’t have wings or legs, they’re not easy to catch every time. Some flowers are more prone to wind than others, and this large flowered glory of the snow wouldn’t sit still for a moment. After a few frames I gave up, hoping that I would have…
