I am just an enthusiastic photographer living in the beautiful Scottish Borders, where I simply enjoy my hobby photographing the countryside.Most of my images are taken in and around the Tweed Valley, sometimes venturing out to explore other beautiful parts of Scotland and over the Border south on rare occasions

Nectaroscordum

This Plant in my garden fascinates me year after year
The flowerheads start off looking like long silky cocoons

When they split , look like a nest of baby snakes or green tadpoles

Then tumble out likebeads escaping

or flowery fireworks


Then dangle like bells

On Long Slender stems

When Mr Bee has done his job

the flowerheads
start to turn upwards again

Then finally stand completely upright like the battlements around a castle holding their seeds in tight


Mostly taken with Canon 40D and all different times of day during spring & summer
