I have a new camera which means I’ve spent a wee bit of time appreciating how the Magic Garden is growing with apple blossom coming out, the continuing hellebores are blooming still, stray wee violets coming out having self seeded around the garden & the glorious marsh marigold in the pond. Ben I think was just delighted to have me home and be in the garden without it raining!

I’m really pleased with the images I have obtained without an awful lot of effort! The flower buds on both the yellow dogwood & the rowan tree are crisp on a non-specialist lens and it seems to capture Ben’s spotty stripes perfectly too
