I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to see my favourite cherry tree in full bloom this year but I made it just in time. Spring seemed to come so early this year with everything popping out into full bloom all at the same time. I was so pleased when I came around the corner to see I’d not missed the mass of frothy pale pink blooms.
This week I finally managed to get out to see some bluebells. With the recent heat some were already fading but, as ever, it was magical to be stood in the woods surrounded by a carpet of flowers. Of course I could not help but try to find a stem standing out from the crowd.
A last batch of pictures from the Royal Docks on the Thames on a lovely misty Monday morning in March. These were all taken with my Lensbaby Sol 45 lens which I loved because it added an extra bit of blur and softness to the already soft light.

On my walk by the Royal Docks one morning at the start of March, one of the things I noticed was the overwhelming feeling of peace and tranquillity despite the road noise and the aeroplanes landing at London City Airport which is next door to the dock. These rowers enjoying their morning exercise were right next to the runway of the airport which is to the right of the picture.
Another image from my foggy morning walk in London when I was there for The Photography Show. I loved this art deco. building and its reflection. It was built from concrete in 1933. Sadly it is derelict at the moment but there are plans to renovate it for business use, I hope they do a good job and keep its character.
