Today I went to visit Mum and took a posy from the garden. She seemed to like the flowers. I'm not sure she knows *who* I am but she knows I'm familiar (I'll take it; it's expected but I guess another sign of decline).

I had the thought when I was walking back home... it's not too late to plant bulbs. I might get an assorted pack and plant them in the ex-lawn and then I can take her bunches in the spring. I always find it easier to visit if I have something to bring, and flowers brighten up everyone's day.

My left hand is holding a small posy of blossoms from the garden. I've cut sprigs of purple buddleia, mauve rosemary flowers and elderflower. In the background you can see the aqua blue garden hose lying on the bright green dichondra ground cover

I had a lovely time out photographing the earliest of the magnolias and other flowers at The Arb before the rains hit. I rode my bike so I got a bit sprinkled on, but I had my weather resistant kit so I wasn't worried. Overcast skies make for really nice diffuse lighting which works well for wider aperture close-up photos of flowers. The cool wind made it more challenging, but it was still so nice.

Photograph of some pink magnolia flowers with a shallow depth of field. There is one in the foreground that is partly open, and another behind that is not open yet. The bokeh is delicious. Fuji xf80mmF2.8 @ F4.5, 1/400s, ISO400.

Some peach blossoms (hanamomo) which bloom a bit before the cherry blossoms.

It's that time of year again when I try to learn how to use darktable enough to process all of the photos I took during cherry blossom season. I'd much rather take photos than deal with sorting and editing them... :blobcamera:

A tightly zoomed shot of a row of ornamental peach trees in bloom. They have dark branches and vibrantly coloured petals. Some of the trees are quite reddish, and some very pink. Instead of the thick trunk and spread out branches of cherries, these are smaller thinner trunks, with the branches all mostly pointing upwards, and the blossoms are tight against the new thin branches. Slightly out of focus filling in the background are the overlapping faces of several homes, apartment buildings and power lines.
