SIX OF THE BEST - THEA'S GARDEN - 1

Last year, we moved house for the first time in 12 years. During that time Thea, my wife, had masterminded the creation of a stunning garden, and, although it took a lot of work, leaving the garden was something which left us with very mixed feelings.

I decided to take a series of pictures during 2005, to have a permanent record of the many plants and shrubs we had left.

From a photographic viewpoint, I was looking to concentrate on the form and shapes of individual blooms or flower heads, together with looking to set the colour of the foreground against a possibly unusual and distinctive background.

These are the first 6 pictures in the series, which I have named Thea's Garden.
