Borage at the allotment.
I’ve been harvesting Borage (Borago officinalis) today, otherwise known as starflower. I’ll be shooting them in the (dark!) studio but hopefully there will be some left over later to add to a glass of Pimms in the sunshine.

Lots of snowfall here last night. And with so little wind, the settled snow makes for some intriguing shapes looking up at this vine at midnight.

New Forest
Fungus, New Forest, Hampshire.
Working in the New Forest, there are numerous piles of wood around covered with moss and fungus, thriving in these damp conditions. Looking closer, I noticed a shocking range of form and colour.
Cley, 11.12
Blakeney Point, near Cley next the Sea, Norfolk.
The Norfolk coastline is, even in November, so rich in life and colour. Just looking down at my feet, there’s Lichen, Sea-Blite, and Sea-Lavender.
You also get a lot of sky for your money in Norfolk. Looking up, here are a large quantity of, I think, Dark-bellied Brent Geese.

It’s not all bad this summer. Here’s a good example of how lush the garden is in mid-July. Rain on the leaves of Vitis ‘Brant’.
Philadelphus 7.12
Philadelphus (Mock Orange) Flowers.
Short-lived but richly fragrant flowers on this Philadelphus. I’ve been trying to shoot these in the studio but with limited results; they begin to wilt so quickly.

Artificial Flower Market Stall. Swaffham, Norfolk.
Wandering around the market in Swaffham, Norfolk, my eye was caught by this seriously colourful floral display.
Wild Garlic
Allium ursinum (ramsons, wild garlic) at Ilam, Peak District.
Seas of wild garlic just beginning to come into flower at Easter. I snapped these during a walk in the Peak District at Ilam, Derbyshire. Wild garlic has plenty of common names: Ramsons, buckrams, wild garlic, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek, and bear’s garlic.

Dozens of the ornamental cherry (Prunus) trees near my home are currently festooned with blossom.
Primula 26.3.12

23.03.12 – Blue Shed
Allotment Shed. Knight’s Hill Allotments.
Went to collect scaffolding planks which were delivered to the allotments yesterday, but sadly all had been snaffled. This peeling shed caught my eye on the way back. Knight’s Hill has an extraordinary mixture of natural and artificial colour.
12.3.12 – Frogs
Frogwatch. Knight’s Hill.
Lots of frog activity in a neighbour’s pond this weekend.
9.3.12 Arum leaves
Garden. Arum leaves.
Arum italicum ‘Marmoratum’ (Lords and ladies). This provides lots of engaging leaf colour which is much needed at this early part of spring.
