Good evening you lot! 😊 I’ve been doing more plant photography at work lately, and it’s definitely spilled into my own time. Once you start noticing the tiny shapes and colours, you can’t really switch it off, although I’ve always been a ‘noticer’ of nature and all things wild, it seems to be a bit more prominent (especially with flowers) since that extra plant focussed photography through work. These amazing looking little heart-shaped blooms, pulled me right in, so of course the camera came out.

Perfect little heart shapes, like nature showing off without even trying. It still amazes me how something so small can be so precise and delicate. That’s the bit I love most about photographing plants: so many varieties I haven’t even started to scrape the surface after photographing probably a good few hundred now…. and still get these moments of “how is this real?” 🤯

….Sharing things like this with you guys has become something that I love to do and I can’t thank you enough for all the confidence, inspiration and belief you have helped install in me. I’ve had people on here say they look through my blog with their family, in hospital, to give them a happy lift, while studying, some people say they just check in because they enjoy my work….and that makes me happy – because if this space can give someone a bit of happiness, a bit of colour, inspiration, calm or just a reason to look a little closer at things in their own world, that’s what it’s all about. Of course it’s also documentation for my own journey but to connect with you guys the way that I have is incredible and means a lot to me, a massive bonus.

Plenty more plant stuff to come I think I’ve fallen down the plant rabbit hole now, and honestly, I’m quite happy down here. 🙂

(This plant is Dicentra spectabilis aka Bleeding Heart)
