Spring's arrived

It's been a while coming, but it looks as though it's here at last!!. Here are a few shots I've taken to celebrate:



I've played with these croci just a little, but it's good to see them


These Catkins are a straight shot using a macro lens. Taken in Sneaton forest.


And so are these snowdrops.

We're getting busy in the garden now, so not enough time for playing with cameras - there never is!!, but there's been some fun with old images and new treatments. What do you think of these?:


Redfield Fractalius filtering in Black and White mode, with Eye Candy torn paper edges.

And so's this. We saw him in Kenya in 2002, but he's a good subject.


This has had different blending modes. It's all good fun don't you think? See some more soon!!
