After a cold start, our garden is beginning to grow:
It has been a cold, windy spring. This has had two effects for me: 1) The cold has caused the garden to develop later than usual, and 2) The wind has made photography difficult. The above photo was taken on a sunny day during a lull in the wind. I only managed to get a few photos taken before it became too blustery for my style of photography.
The above image is a view of the northern end of the vegetable garden and shows the onions and potatoes growing. This is a blend of 6 images, so you can understand the need for a still day otherwise there is too much movement between each image.
The fruit bushes are coming along fine though:
This is a view of the orchard and soft fruit bushes. I have not taken a panoramic version of this before so was pleased when it turned out OK. This image is a blend of 12 separate photos. On the right you can see the sky getting a lighter blue as the view gets closer to the sun.
The next still day was a few days later, but it was quite cloudy:
This is a view across the main part of the garden. It was taken quite early in the morning before the wind got up. Even so, there is still a slight amount of movement in this view. At least the clouds add a bit of interest to the sky…
You can see the other photos in the Garden Gallery, with the panoramic images in the Panorama Gallery.
