These photos are from back in August. I came upon this flower while wandering around a castle filled with many many tourists.

Softest Pink
Some of my favourite things to photograph are flowers, and of course I like to get up close and personal with them.

Taking Flight
A photo I dug out of my back catalogue recently as an illustration for a poem called Taking Flight over on my other blog. This is a view from a local beach back in more summery days.
