A Floral Image | A Burst of Yellow
A Floral Image | A tiny stamen protrudes from a bed of yellow petals of this Tulip. These beautifully vibrant yellow Tulips really caught my eye as I was wandering through the Italian Gardens.
A Floral Image | Grace
February, yup February is when I took this image. I actually shared an image I took of this Rhododendron back in April but had this version siting in my Aperture Library waiting for some love and attention. Well I made sure it got that today and wanted to share the final result with you. There is something quite special about a pure white flower; the delicacy and amazing texture of the petals. I hope you enjoy.
A Floral Image | Hidden from Sight
The Calla Lily must be one of my favorite flowers. It has been a long time since I have attempted captured an image of this Lily as it is one of those flowers I find difficult to do justice too.
Early Morning Dew
Another image from my recent travels. This time one of my favorite subjects – floral macro. These flowers were in the garden of the log cabin we were staying in in Cavan. It was great to see them still blooming so late in the year. You can just see the single drop of dew hanging…

The Leaf and the Flower

Efflorescence
My wife and I returned to my parents summer house is the south of Spain in June to recharge our batteries. In the 10 days I was there I rarely had the camera out of my hands, it was brilliant. I have quite a few images to share with you over the next while and…
Spring is here!
Spring is here! That means I get to do one of my favorite things, photograph flowers. This image was captured in our Botanical Gardens here in Dublin where so much life has begun to bloom. These flowers were sitting in one of the Glasshouses, reaching out beyond all the foliage to see the still fairly…
Delicate in White
From a leisurely stroll around my local park during some fine weather. Wonderful to see all this new life springing up everywhere. An opportunistic shot captured handheld wide open at f/2.8, so about 2mm of effective DOF.
