Reflections. Simple and (fairly) minimal to focus on the wildflowers, antique glass bottles and their reflections.

Wayside Flowers. This is very much a photo that changed a lot during concept and setup β€” originally the setup was going to be beach hut theme but somewhere along the way it morphed into a simpler standalone flowers-focused shot.

Lilac Time. The unseasonably warm weather we've been having has compressed the flowering times of everything into a much shorter period. Everything's going nuts!

Mid May Memories. Evoking a nostalgic & romantic scene where one senses not only a love of nature & quiet study, but also the presence, even if invisible, of a person who cherishes beauty, solitude & the richness of simple pleasures.

At the heart of the arrangement is a large, cream-coloured ceramic jug, delicately painted with botanical designs, overflowing with an abundant bouquet of apple or cherry blossom branches. The blossoms are a soft blush pink with white centres, and their green leaves provide a fresh contrast. Some buds are still closed, hinting at the unfolding of spring, while others are in full bloom, their delicate petals scattering gently across the tabletop, adding a touch of natural spontaneity to the otherwise curated setting.

Flanking the central jug are two tall, ornate wooden candlesticks with twisted stems and elegant metal fixtures. Each holds a slender, dark green taper candle, both lit and casting a warm, gentle glow that flickers across the blossoms and stone wall, enhancing the romantic atmosphere. The candlelight creates soft shadows and highlights that give the image a sense of depth and intimacy.

To the left of the jug rests a dark green glass decanter with intricate metalwork at the neck and stopper. It sits atop two beautifully bound antique books with gold embellishments, suggesting a narrative of history or perhaps a lover’s memento. Scattered blossoms adorn the books, as if thoughtfully placed or fallen naturally.

To the right of the jug are two elegant goblets made of amber-coloured glass with green-tinted stems, subtly catching the light. They hint at the potential for a shared drink or an intimate moment, frozen in time. More blossoms lie nearby, reinforcing the central floral motif.

Echos of Spring. A more balanced and symmetrical shot today, suggestive of a quiet, romantic candlelit evening in early spring. The apple blossom lasts such a short time, it's a race to use it before it's over!

Beltane Celebration. 2 days late but it's the closest weekend to Beltane. We're having an unseasonably warm & sunny spell & the weather’s been lovely, bringing out the apple blossom in glorious pink profusion.

Spring in the Garden Shed. Pastoral rustic charm conjuring images of emerging life, earthy smells & the chaotic beauty of gardening in spring. Lots of carefully placed clutter here β€” elements chosen to evoke a strong sense of place.

Springtime. This was shot a few weeks ago when the snowdrops and aconites were still flowering. I've combined it with the view of a bright spring day to contrast with the early spring flowers.

Tea in the Study. Old leatherbound books and antique blue and white china lend an air of nostalgia, evoking feelings of comfort and tranquility. A welcome break from the trials and tribulations of the modern world.

Spring Equinox Tea. We're just past the Vernal Equinox & spring’s official start. The wheel of the year spins on as the days get longer, trees burst into leaf & you can once again feel the warmth of the sun's rays.

Spring Dreaming. Delicate spring flowers, an antique blue and white tea set, vintage hand-embroidered table linen and antiquarian books β€” very much my favourite aesthetic.

Heavenly Hellebores. Such a stately and regal flower, the hellebore. The flowers' deep reds pair beautifully with rich red wine which, in turn, lends itself to a more classical style of still life.

St David's Day. By at least one definition, it can now be considered spring! We're also in the window of time when snowdrops & mini daffodils are flowering at the same time as the garden slowly comes to life with more and more early spring flowers. #stdavidsday #witchsky #photography #daffodils

Haven. Picture… a rustic cabin in a little clearing in the woods. Snowdrops carpet the woodland floor. You sit at your window, sipping fresh coffee, listening to birdsong & gazing out over a small stream. Nothing can intrude or disturb your little haven of peace & tranquility. #cottagecore #witchsky

A Promise of Spring? February, this year seems to have been unrelentingly dark & gloomy, I swear we haven't seen the sun for ages. Early spring snowdrops give much needed respite against the dark days, promising the return of the warmth & the light. #ukspring #cottagecore #snowdrops #wheeloftheyear

Candlelit Chronicles. Some late night correspondence by candlelight, fortified by brandy! Going for a strong Victorian aesthetic here, helped by the dark moody lighting.

Cosy Candlelit Coffee. A fantasy image inspired by the wonderful book β€˜Legends & Lattes’ by Travis Baldree. I love the idea of found family coming together through a quirky fantasy-setting coffee shop. Finding props to try and emulate the concept was surprisingly tricky! #coffeecore #photography

Happy New Year 2025! It’s time to devour all the leftover Christmas food! In contrast to the previously posted warm-toned Christmas photos, this shot aims to capture a Nordic aesthetic. It features a birch wood background, birch candlesticks, evergreens, mince pies & a Stollen. #stilllife #humanart

A Taste of Christmas. Home made mince pies in an opulent setting. A more symmetrical shot than I usually take β€” it's interesting to play with where things are symmetrical and where the symmetry is deliberately broken to make the composition interesting. #dickensian #christmas #victorian
