Mini Allium
I am hopeless at recording the names of the plants I photograph but this one I did! It's Allium Senescens, it's a tiny allium, only about 20 cm high but a hugely attractive to the bees and butterflies and such a delicate colour. It was lovely to disappear into the mini world for a while to photograph it.
Late summer colours
Another flower I have 'discovered' this summer are Heleniums, also known as Sneezeweed!!!! What a name! I love the really rich colours of many varieties, they just shout late summer and the bees just love them.

More twilight flowers
Every year I find a new favourite flower which seems to follow me around on my walks, challenging me to photograph it! This summer it was chamomile. Every field I visited seemed to have a large patch and I even found a whole field of it but it was a challenge to find a picture!! After several weeks of trying finally I found this patch just after the sun had set, another twilight capture ? Swipe for an overhead behind the scenes shot.

Twilight flower
I love walking at twilight, just as the last bit of sun is disappearing. I spotted this one stem of Rosebay Willowherb one evening whilst crossing a field on the way back to my car. The colour just sang out against the other plants in the field, I had to stop and photograph it.

Sunset on Sailsbury Plain
This summer has provided some amazing colours and you probably know by now, I do love colour! This picture was created on a glorious evening on Salisbury Plain, we'd gone to watch the moon rise but it hid behind a cloud ? Thankfully there was so much else to enjoy there including the amazing sky (in the opposite direction to the moon!). Sometimes I love to use ICM to catch the just the colours without too much detail in the landscape.
