Spring seems to start a little later for us here in the north of Scotland. But Spring (thankfully) is nearly here…
The winter is nearly behind us thank goodness..
Best viewed if quality set to 1080p (control at bottom of the video image)
It is always nice to see the snowdrops breaking through. The end of the winter is coming thank goodness!
You don’t get more Scottish than this!
If I knew more about botany, I would know what this strange thing is!
Well, we are in Scotland!
It would appear Percy Thrower is channeling through my videos…
It’s what happens when you let me run amok with Photoshop’s Neural filter – a dangerous tool in the wrong hands! You’ll find the original unsullied image below…
More Photoshop Neural Filter sculduggery..(digital doodling).
It’s clever how nature unpacks itself. Brilliant engineering…
Join me for a walk in the woods close to Duff House in Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
It was the colour that caught my eye..
If you go down to the woods today….
We’re firmly back in Scotland!
A few more flowers and other wild things for you to enjoy…
My Latin is non-existent!
It must be Spring in the UK..
Can you spot the bug?
They are here to get you! Be afraid!
Still having fun with the new Texture Slider in Adobe Camera RAW. It’s a fun tool and it worked well on the flower below. I love taking photographs of flowers with a very narrow depth of field – it makes the flower pop out of the background. The new texture slider gives the image a bit of extra pop!

I am sure somebody will know what kind of plant (weed?) this is. Spotted near Monnickendam (Netherlands) today. Almost like some kind of alien creature!
Please click HERE to visit my Adobe Spark page for the Hortus Botanicus (botanical gardens in Amsterdam). When you get to the page, please just keep scrolling down…
The Hortus Botanicus is one of the most peaceful places in the bustling and vibrant city of Amsterdam.
No other way to describe it!
I have no idea what these flowers (plants?) are called but I call them Witches Fingers
I know, the flower petals should really be in focus but I like the way that (by accident) the little antenna things in the middle of the flower break through and are in focus whilst the petals aren’t. The best kinds of rules are no rules!
As usual, no idea what kind of flower it is – just new to me.
A wonderful day yesterday spent taking photographs at the Amsterdam Botanical Gardens.

No idea what these are:
Some more flowers!
Fellow blogger, John McLawson (you can find him here) has been posting photographs of flowers taken in the Nevada desert. Flowers in John’s desert somehow make it despite the arid conditions. So, with John in mind, I took this photograph of flowers growing here in Holland (as usual, no idea what sort of flowers they are). There is never a shortage of water here in the Netherlands (indeed it is raining today) and of course the Dutch are famous for their flowers. Fortunately, we don’t have rattlesnakes in the Netherlands either and so I do urge John to watch where he walks when wandering in the desert taking photographs.
Just back from a dog walk with the camera. Spring exploding in all directions out there in the woods…
Good to see Spring kicking in here in Holland…
I’m not sure what these plants are really called but I always remember them as ‘egg and bacon’ plants.
No idea what these flowers are called but I’m sure the bees like them…
