Flowers and trees, seeds and leaves.
Long before I became a bird photographer one of my passions was photographing flowers whether they were cultivated or wild, some of my first digital images taken with my Sony Mavica were of flowers and flowering shrubs that I grew in my backyard. That seems so very long ago and many cameras ago too.
Some of these photos also include birds, animals, insects and bees that were on the plant, shrub or tree when I photographed them.
I hope that you enjoy viewing my photos of trees, shrubs, seeds, leaves and flowers.
