The photographs that you see on this website are a project born from a most unusual opportunity.

On 5th February 2020, I had a mild heart attack, shortly followed by surgery.

During my period of recuperation the rest of the country was kind enough to join me on a domestic sojourn (‘lockdown’). Fortunately for us all, it was a most wonderful spring – some four months of unbroken sunshine.

I began to photograph the spring and early summer flowers in my garden. Some I knew from previous years but some I had not taken the time to stop, see, and truly appreciate before. The collection of images presented here is a selection of some of the images captured. I hope that they bring you as much pleasure as I had taking them.
