July Flower Updates

Highlights of this month in flowers would be the very delicate and extraordinary lovely 'Love in the mist' I was told its proper name, but forgot it in all the excitement. Its almost impossible to take a bad picture of the flower. But it was not the only great flower we were given by our friends at Brambles Florist this month. Check them out !

So its another big thanks then to our friends Chris and the ladies at the Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. For all their help this month As well as a mention also to Amy for her assistance.

That is it for now. Be sure to tune back at the end of August for another update.

October Flower Updates

in

I do not know if its seasonal and perhaps because of Halloween, but our friends at the Brambles Florist pull out all the stops to get us some very different flowers this month. We always get top quality flowers to photograph from them, but there are some strange ones here today. One of my favourites is the dark red gerbera that looks as though its been through a shredder with spiky petals. One of the flowers that resembles buds on the end of two slender spikes is still opening. So I hope to get a second shoot out of them soon. So its a huge thanks to Chris and the ladies at the Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. You never cease to amaze me! And of course a big thanks to my assistant and wife Amy for her long sufferance and help.

So that is it for this month,. Thank you for tuning and and seeing just what we have to offer this month and hopefully see you all safely again in November.

Its the end of Summer flower shoot in the home studio this month, with autumnal weather being dominant all season long.

A big thanks then to our friends in the Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. to Chris and the ladies for all their help and assistance in beginning this months flowers to you. A mention also to my wife Amy for all her help at taking the images. It could not be done without all of you.

January Flowers Update

in

We have started the year off with a great showing of new flowers from our friends Chris and the ladies at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. A lot of white going on this month and viewers may think my eye sight has completely gone when they see blurred pictures. But this is not the case.

I have simply smeared a UV filter on the front of the lens with Vaseline to give it that dreamy effect. Picasso had his 'Blue Period,' so I can have my 'Blurred Period.'

Thanks again then to Chris and the ladies at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours and a mention also to my wife Amy for all her help.

See you all next month.
