I love the colours in these shots and the soft focused backgrounds with hints of colour that help to highlight the flowers that are the main subjects in each picture.

Buttercups are such simple flowers and this single specimen shot against a background of bluebells is really lovely.

I also love the contrast of pink and white in the second photo with the central flower in sharp focus but the others in the foreground and background providing a soft focused frame.

Buttercups and Daisies

There is something reassuring about these simple flowers, they are a sure sign that summer is on it's way and although they're often considered weeds I think they are quite beautiful.

Together they have inspired poems,nursery rhymes, songs and instrumental music  and given their names to numerous florists so clearly I am not the only one taken with them and hopefully you will enjoy them too.

Meadow flowers

I was going to say here are some shots of an English wildflower meadow but as it happens it's in North Wales, but that's just a detail.  What really matters is that this is a beautiful place with such a variety of wild grasses and flowers.
