Spring photography during the corona virus

In this, the most surreal of easters ever (!), the corona virus has meant that we are all isolated and unable to travel. To add insult to injury (photographically), its the most fabulous weather and I would normally be out and about photographing beautiful gardens. We must stick to it though, and support our amazing NHS and all the heroic frontline workers, by obeying the rules.

So, as I am lucky enough to live in an area of outstanding natural beauty and can walk along some world class hedgerows every day (for my allotted ‘exercise’!). I am shooting as many of the emerging wild flowers as I can. The acid green of the ‘Alexanders’ is brightening the lanes edges, and there are the deep blue of the rampant early Bluebells. Spiky blackthorn is like new fallen snow and a carpet of lemon yellow primroses sits alongside the unfurling ‘fiddleheads’ of the emerging ferns. Bliss.
