Now that Spring is here and I have a lovely new camera (you can see it here) I really wanted to get outside and experiment with taking pictures of the flowers and plants as well of the children. Most of these are from my back garden and a few are from our day at Denham Country Park
This is one of my favourite pictures from my back garden – because it has bokeh! I love bokeh 🙂 This is with my friend’s lens which I borrowed, which allowed me to use a smaller aperture setting (about 2.8 ish i think) whereas mine won’t go below 4 with my current zoom lens.
I don’t know what the plants are, my garden really needs a lot of sorting out! But all the green colours are lovely after the Winter
I’m still waiting for the daffodils in our back garden to open up.
Although I did find some at Denham Country Park. I’m not very keen on this daffodil picture but it’s the only one I got, I was busy running after the boys! I will need to find some more and get a much nicer photo.
There was also blossom, which I love in Spring time!
and lots and lots more gorgeous green!

Looks like spring is in full bloom over at your house. I love the photos. You seem to be doing something great with your new camera. I am on a photography journey myself and just bought my first SLR and learning how to use manual mode is not easy but I am trucking through it as best I can. http://www.letstalkmommy.com/2014/01/getting-to-grips-with-my-cameras-manual-mode/ If you want to see how I am starting out. Love how you have captured spring time! Just beautiful. Thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me. I love getting to know other bloggers and their lovely amazing blogs. Hope to see you again soon. #sharewithme
amazing spring colors =)

Great to practice in the garden as at least plants don’t run off like kids do!
ha exactly!
Lucky you getting a new camera! I love taking shots of flowers and leaves and seeds and stuff – especially close ups. I love your Rosemary picture and as for daffodils – there is something about all that reflective yellow – they are really hard to photograph! #blogclub
I’m really noticing your photos are improving, new cameras have to be learned I think. Love the shots of your garden, the bokeh in the top one is great!
lovely shots of the beginning signs of spring. happy weekend!
So sweet all of them – you really are going good guns with the new camera aren’t you? Great to see!
I find it really relaxing to stroll round taking photos of the garden and nature, it makes you stop and look more closely which can only be a good thing 🙂
Thanks for joining in lovely lady – love these x
Just gorgeous!
Hahah at “I love bokeh” 😉 I need to find some cherry blossom now that it is spring time and when I do I will definitely snap a pic!
I do, I love them! I must buy a new lens for my camera so I can do more bokeh 😀 I can’t get this effect on my own lens
Your “bokeh” is Cherry Laurel (poisonous), your blue flowers are Rosemary (one of my favourite herbs and definitely edible), I *think* the gorgeous green plant may be box and the last plant is a blackberry! #HDYGG
Thank you! Good to know! 🙂
Looking good Anna, love the first daffodil shot
Awesome photos! Makes me want to get out in the garden now!

My garden is still looking very sad at the moment. Love your photos though
Looks like you have some stunning signs of spring apearing
Such lovely shots of a spring garden. Makes me wish even more that spring comes sooner or later here on the east coast of US
Love your beautiful shot #betterphotoproject 🙂 Such a gorgeous light and colour on the leaves.
OMG What great photos! I love to see the Spring flowers – they seem to brighten up the world after such a dark and bare Winter!
