A Sunny Sunday Stroll in Cambridge
30.03.25
Yesterday, Cambridge was bathed in glorious spring sunshine—a perfect day for an impromptu photography walk. The warmth of the sun made it feel like the city had truly awakened, with people enjoying the outdoors, punters gliding along the river, and vibrant flowers beginning to bloom.
Despite the inviting floral displays, the strong winds made macro photography a challenge. Instead, I shifted my focus to the beautiful architecture that gives Cambridge its timeless charm. From intricate historic facades to quiet hidden corners, I captured the city's elegance in a different light. The wind may have dictated my approach, but it also led me to see familiar sights from a fresh perspective.
Sometimes, the best photos come from embracing the unexpected.
Frosted Garden
Winter garden in Poland on Boxing Day 2024
This morning, I enjoyed a peaceful walk around my mum’s garden in Poland, camera in hand. A fresh frost had covered everything, creating a stunning winter wonderland. It was a perfect moment to capture the beauty of plants transformed by the cold.
I love photographing frosty details like leaves coated in ice crystals, evergreen needles shimmering in the morning light, and tiny frozen buds. These small, natural details are what make winter gardens so special. My focus is on soft, close-up shots that highlight textures and subtle colors, creating calming and natural images.
Spending time in the garden this morning reminded me how much I enjoy finding these hidden treasures. Frosty mornings have a quiet magic, and discovering these little moments feels like uncovering nature’s secrets. Each photo is a chance to share that beauty with others.
If you love plants, winter gardens, or serene nature photography, these frosted images might inspire you to take a closer look at the small details around you. Winter may seem quiet, but it’s full of beauty when you take the time to look.
Grey Seals
Horsey Gap, Norfolk
Today, I visited Horsey Gap in Norfolk to witness the majestic Grey Seals. It was an incredible experience, made even more special by spotting the very first pup of the season, born just last Thursday! Although the newborn was far away—too distant even for my 70-200mm lens with an extender—the sight of that fluffy white pup was truly heartwarming. Watching the seals in their natural habitat was peaceful and joyful, filling me with so much happiness. I’m already looking forward to returning soon, hoping to capture even more of this magical scene. Nature's wonders never cease to amaze!
I had a wonderful day at the Audley End BBC Gardeners' World Autumn Fair, a perfect event for a botanical enthusiast and photographer like me. The presentation gardens were stunning, each showcasing beautiful design and creativity. There were plenty of vibrant flowers, creating a colorful tapestry that was a joy to photograph. I captured numerous shots of rare blooms and unique plant arrangements. The atmosphere was lively, filled with fellow garden lovers and experts sharing their knowledge. Overall, it was an inspiring experience that reignited my passion for gardening and photography, leaving me with lasting memories and a camera full of beautiful photos.
