nature boy

It's springtime!  So, naturally a bonus Saturday post...

And eager to make the most of the upcoming least favourite time of year for me, I decided to forego my usual "serious" landscape photography and instead adopt a far more laid back, laissez faire type approach to my image making.

To that end I have started exploring my local area in a bit more depth whenever I feel well enough to walk more than a few steps.

On one of my outings, I captured these rather pretty and delicate flowers growing wild low down in the hedgerow.  Corinne tells me they're called "milkmaids".  

Of course, I believe her!

Unfortunately for me I'm going through quite a bad patch with my physical health right now.  I am constantly exhausted to the point I could sleep all day and still be tired, and the pain in my back and pelvis is sometimes quite unbearable.

Still, I shall overcome!
