Meadow Brown in the Meadow Bodnant.

 

One of my favourite places at Bodnant is the meadow. It is a calm tranquil place in the garden away from the crowds. June marks the arrival of the early butterflies feeding on the knapweed flowers.

What an honour to have a set of images on display in the Saatchi Gallery in London as part of the RHS Botanical Art and Photography Show.

Situated within the terrace gardens is a bust to the great-uncle of Anne McLaren, Walter Stowe Bright McLaren, a Liberal MP who is remembered for his support for women’s rights to citizenship. He died in 1912

A dry day at Bridgewater.

 

In contrast to last years lush gardens at Bridgewater. This year was more of a dull and dusted Landscape especially in my favourite place the Paradise Garden. It is very very rare that I come away from the garden and my best picture is that taken in the gift shop. These are these glass vases were backlit as we left for the evening.

A phone that does raw files.

Photography these days is more a case of technology rather than traditional camera makes to know.We know have iPhones which intake raw files. My iPhone 14  can now produce files of 45 megapixels. A lot of cameras don't have so many pixels. Is it now time to change and let technology take over.

Head butting sheep on the Carneddau

 

     It's rather unusual to see to sheep, having a scrap in the summer months.

Bridgewater.

 It was great to be back at Bridgewater again. The tulips were only just coming into flower, but it was a lovely evening and the garden was full of Camassia flowers.
