Today it's 4 degrees C. Lovely weekend weather - grey, cold, drizzle & murk. (Sounds like a very old firm of solicitors: Grey, Colde, Drizzell & Murk. The perfect people for your Chancery case... ). But at least I had a day off on Thursday, and got to see the sunshine then.
The Japanese Garden.
Prunus x subhirtella.

Date: 2025-02-09 08:42 am (UTC)I made the most of the light, & took my 50mm Sigma lens on the outing so that I could play around with shooting at f1.8 / f2...

The tiny Japanese Garden at Kingston Lacy is fenced off and visitors can only admire it from outside, so I always struggle to find a way to photograph it. This time I had a play around with shooting at f1.8 / f2.
