My April Challenge - Day 7

Not a good day today. The weather was grey with a sprinkle of rain.

I tried photographing various things but nothing seemed to work. This Forget-me-not was the best shot from today. I am reasonably happy with it. They are pretty little flowers.

My April Challenge - Day 6

More time for photography today because of the Easter holiday. I managed to take this shot while the sun was out and before the wind blew up. This is pear blossom. The apple blossom is not out yet.

My April Challenge - Day 5

A cold, dull day with still no rain. A hosepipe ban starts today in this area because of the drought. These periwinkles don't seem to mind the lack of rain.

While parts of the country are covered in snow, we have still hardly had any rain. Here is the day 4 offering.

My April Challenge - Day 3

I thought I should snap a daffodil today. They have been out a long time and most of them are past their best.

My April Challenge - Day 2

I am struggling with this challenge already and very dissatisfied with today's shot. Hopefully I will do better tomorrow....

My April Challenge - Day 1

As I mentioned yesterday, in an effort to improve my photography, I have set myself a challenge for the whole of April.

I plan to photograph a different flower each day for the whole month. The weather could, of course, upset my plans, so I am allowing myself to take multiple photos on a single day to use on those days when I either don't have time or the weather defeats me.

Today was a beautiful day. Here is my effort...
