Long time, no post - oops, where did the last couple of months go I wonder? It's amazing how quickly a project or two can consume so much time. Still, I'm back out in the wild again and last week was spent on the lovely North Devon/Cornwall coastline photographing the spring flowers.
This week's image was made during a fantastic thunderstorm that was taking place over the Bristol Channel. After all the unseasonal hot blue sky conditions we've been having recently, it was a great relief to see some rain again.
The funny thing about the spring flowers is that they are so inconsistent. You can walk 50 yards and see swathes of flowers still budding and not yet open, another swathe way past their best and if you are lucky a patch or two that are in their prime. It all depends on their exposure to the elements I guess. This little patch of Oxeye Daisies and Sea Pinks on the edge of the cliff were fortunately still in their prime and the stormy weather provided great soft lighting in which to photograph them.
As luck would have it the heavy rain you can see on the horizon swept up the Bristol Channel, missing me altogether, giving me a chance to observe the storm without actually getting soaking wet.
