Lots of colour around this week. These are from last Wednesday's daily walk. Today is miserable, wet and windy, so hope these give a bit of enjoyment. All K70 + DA* 50-135. Do feel free to comment.

Lovely selection John - from simple isolated subjects to full floral displays. They work really well as a set

The pink in No3 is so delicate, and I like the layout of No8.

Thanks for your comments - all these colours turned a regular walk into something really enjoyable!

Gareth - there are lots of those flowers about at the moment, not necessarily in gardens either. I'm not a flower expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I think (after getting my wife's approval) that they are a kind of poppy, possibly known as Californian poppies.

A really lovely set . No favourites, but No. 8 is a very inviting path...

Please send some wet to the south coast. You can keep the miserable and windy, though .

Your wife is correct, botanical name Eschscholzia Californica aka Californian Poppy. Not a true poppy, though.

You're only allowed to grow them if you can pronounce the botanical name .

Quite a lovely capture in #2 - the light is just where it needs to be, and the minimalist composition is flattering.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
