Spring in Full Swing

Ground Ivy, glechoma hederacea.

All the Spring flowers are out now, and its time to try again at flowers that I have photographed in the past, but never in my view, got right.  One of these is ground ivy, glechoma hederacea.  This is a very common flower, but seems to be very rarely noticed.  The flower itself has a fascinating structure, giving you the strong feeling that 'there must be a picture in here somewhere.

Hairy bittercress, cardamine hirsuta.

One of my aspirations is to produce photographs that have the attributes of paintings, watercolours in particular.  The opportunity arises only rarely, since it usually involves photographing a subject through another subject.  I got the chance here with hairy bittercress, although it did, of course, add to the difficulties of getting the camera into the right position.
