Apple Affair…

Apple Affair - West Dean Gardens 2011

A couple of weekends ago, Luke Orla and I went to Apple Affair at West Dean Gardens in Singleton, which we felt might be the last of the family days out of this summer, and indeed it was. It was a glorious early October day, with the sun shining, and all was merry. Luke got his special apples (once eaten, the seeds will be saved and planted), though alas the beer ran out (they never have enough), and I got to wander around and take some pictures. Orla got her face painted, some treats, a parasol and much bouncing and jumping.

West Dean Gardens

Yesterday Luke, Orla and I went to West Dean Gardens, in Singleton, West Sussex. One of my favourite places, and for Luke and I, a very special and important place. I took my Canon, and though we didn’t have long there, I managed to get some decent shots, my favourites of which I feature here. To see the whole collection, go view the Flickr set, and if you wish to know more about West Dean Gardens, then you can go read the article I wrote for UK Handmade. There were trees wrapped in ribbon (shots of that can be viewed on the Flickr set) is an ongoing project by Magenta Gang. Magenta is from Korea and currently studying a post grad Fine Art course at West Dean and has been working on the tree project since June.

Blossom II

I love Spring, it truly is my favourite time of year, and when I see crocuses start to pop up, I become excited. I feel uplifted, positive and renewed. I am anxious to be out doors and play. I think it’s lot to do with being a Spring baby. Anyway…some recent shots, more to come. Sadly, did not get any pics of my lovely Daffodils, as it always seemed to be raining. Some of these shots were very hard to get. The sun was so bright I couldn’t make out the screen clearly, and struggled with a bad neck to see through the viewfinder effectively, when down low. But, I did my best.
