A clematis grows up a small metal frame by the wall of my back patio. I always wonder if it will survive the winter. This is a blossom that survived, before the new growth started to appear.

Aptly named fiddlehead ferns that grow along the fence just outside my patio door. After about a week or so the ferns stretch upward and lose that distinctive fiddlehead, so I always set aside some time to capture this lovely sign of spring.

A cosmos flower that grew in my garden in 2023. This delicate beauty served as a subject for an exercise with my macro lens during the summer months.

This past summer my back garden produced some lovely flowers, including this cosmos. What an invitation to practice using my new macro lens. I'm still learning!

The flowers in my back garden show a remarkable array of colours, including this bright yellow and lavender beauty, with brown spikes around the centre as a bonus.

A head-on view of a tricolour bee that worked away while I tried to capture it in focus.

A profile shot of a tricolour been visiting flowers in my back garden.

A bergamot in the back garden. Bergamot blossoms usually seem to be red, but this shows a violet colour.

The forecast for overnight was for possible frost, so I wanted to capture an Image of this delicate beauty before it is gone.
