Pale beauty

Taken in June 2019, in the UK.

I’m very lucky to live in a place that has some gorgeous rose bushes. This year, I had a few pale yellow and white roses bloom, so I had some fun taking some macro shots.

Taken at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show in London in July 2016.

 

At this year's flower show, there was a wonderful butterfly dome. This particular butterfly decided red is the most flattering colour - and I think he's right!

Taken in Madeira in Sept 2016.

My brother has a wonderful garden - well, he should as a gardener! This is one of his beautiful poppies. I love the flecks of gold dust from the centre of the poppy. The bees were loving it too!
