A tulip from my garden - I struggled a bit on white balance, but still a photo I'm quite pleased with.
Another tulip, this time shot into the flower from the side.

Fire Flower
Attempting a macro shot of a flowering dandelion while the light was quite low seemed to create an interesting effect to the image. I did also process this in LightRoom to make a greater impact on the colour, but essentially it is pretty much the same as the original photo. I have no idea where the purple colour comes from, as the dandelion was in grass!

Some Spring colour
Easily my favorite time of year for photography, so much colour about! All shot at 100mm, most at f/2.8.
Flower photography has always been a particular favorite of mine, and I feel as though my output is improving a bit too. Hopefully get a lot more variety and different compositions over the coming weeks and in to Summer.

White narcissus
Not totally sure if this is actually a daffodil, as the 'trumpet is only about 0.5cm long, certainly some kind of narcissus in any case!

Spring flowers
A small selection of wild flowers taken over the past couple of days.
This Grecian Windflower (anemone blanda) was taken in my garden, I wanted to shoot it from the side to get a nice depth of field. I love these flowers, though sadly they are only around for a week or so.
I wasn't expecting to see bluebells over the weekend, but a small number of them had already popped up. This was taken from the ground looking upward and I think it's created an interesting effect in the photograph - some ghosting which I'm sure must be a lens issue, but also the flower itself is almost skeletal.
Finally, one of my favorite subjects - the dandelion. Shot from the side to capture the detail inside the flower, another dandelion in the background helping to brighten up the rest of the frame.
I decided to add a small 'watermark' to my images, I hope that it's not distracting. I wanted to add something since I'm hearing more and more about photographs being used by others who claim the work to be their own.
