Sweet William and Limes Still Life

Tomorrow the girls return to school after our half term break.  It was very easy, relaxing and had lovely visitors from afar.  The above is one my new still life images I shot for June's open houses.

Passion Fruit Still Life

Today I finally shoot my passion fruit study.  I have been planning this one for a while, but what with getting ready for holiday (photos to follow) and open houses I fell behind.  Hope that you have a great start to half term and that the weather if fine!

Lilac Still Life Study

With the smallest pocket of sunlight, my neighbour kindly let me snip these beauties to photograph.  I truly love lilacs and need to plant one of my very own.  Thank you for all the encouragement and well wishes I have been receiving about Brighton Open Houses, much appreciated.

Lemons Still Life

Wow this month seems to be flying by!  Last weekend saw the start of Brighton Artist Open Houses.  This is my first year showing with five other photographers and it has been a super fab start.  It runs for four weekend's in total so it feels like a busy both for me, but not complaining.  The above two are still life that I had printed off for my open house in June.  Also it has to be said that the weather is mighty fine.

Buttercup Still Life Series

When I think of buttercups, I cannot help but associate them with how as a child I would hold them under chins and check to see if you like butter!  Now my girls have followed suit and do the same.  I shoot these today as a part of my flora still life series.

Regents Park

Last week we met up with our close friends from Hertfordshire and hung in Regents in Park.  All shots taken by me bar the one I am in shot by L.  

Bateman's National Trust

Yesterday we made the most of the dry and sunny weather and visited Bateman's National Trust House and gardens.  The highlight for me was spying the chickens sitting on a branch.
