Love these large daisies which I'm seeing everywhere. Photographed against black creates a wonderful contrast. I started a little drawing of one of them and I'll follow it through with more studies. I miss doing the detailed botanical drawings I did during lockdown, maybe it's time to start again.




We're enjoying the wild flowers planted along the Comber Greenway. I didn't know cornflowers come in such a range of colours

Silver stud circles with pearl drops. 

Spring/Summer is here and I can't get enough of the colours.  

We spent the afternoon in Mount Stewart  rose garden which is starting to bloom and love the gardens around the house. But our favourites are the wild grass areas, especially cloud-spotting in among the giant daisies.
