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

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!

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

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

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
