Title: First post - thought I'd share some pics!
Post by: paulshields on April 08, 2006, 19:51:43
Hello all, and a big hello to Dan -  glad to see your site thriving! I have a smallish garden in NW England, and we do try and grow some things that we can utilise, but mostly we're tied down to growing two little children (aged 1 and 3), so not much time for other things.

Anyway, I thought I'd post some shots of plants I've found in the garden this year. These are hosted on PhotoCamel (http://www.photocamel.com), a photography website I help run (feel free to pop in and say hello).

A daffodil in the garden

I have so many images from just the last week or so (I'm a photoholic), but I don't want to kill your bandwidth!

Thanks for the warm welcome all. Yeah, seems a shame to mow the lawn when you get down close to a daisy and realise how lovely they really are  :).

Just to add to the previous admirers of your work, great shots obviously a keen macro photographer, point of focus is at the correct point not nearest point of focus.  A highly skilled field, once again congratulations on some great images and well presented with borders.
Look forward to seeing more of your work in due course.
