I think that this is the very best best bit of the year, in the garden.There is so much colour and interest, yet so much still to come. Things are growing so rapidly, that changes seem to occur almost overnight. Foliage is still fresh and young, and everything is still in the first flush of growth. Geraniums are in neat little mounds, not yet sprawling across the paths, delphiniums are still standing up straight and foliage on the roses is still shining with health ! There is so much to photograph in the garden, it is hard to know what to choose.
The following photos are just a representation of some of the things currently in flower in the garden. For the camera geeks who are interested, it has been a trial run for my new Macro lens, which I am using on my CanonEOS300D. It is a Sigma 70 - 300 mm f4-5.6 APO DG- Macro lens. The lens is capable of Macro photography with 1:2 magnification ratio.
