This was the façade of one of the restaurants when I was in Dublin. I really liked how the colourful ivy changes an ordinary wall into something so eye-catching.

We are in Spring, so just had to put up this shot of the seeds available (of all types of plants) in a Dutch market stall as taken by my girlfriend Madeleine.
Gr8at – Royal Horticultural Society 2013 Photograph Competition
The Royal Horticultural Society has just announced the winners for their 2013 Photographic Competition. Covering eight categories, the successful entrants were shown in Details, Garden and People, Plants, Season and Wildlife and Young Photographer and Children’s Photographer. Here are my eight favourites. Do you have a favourite?
The beautiful In Mastels by Mateusz Piesiak won first prize in the Young Photographer and Children’s Photographer category. It also won the title RHS Young Photographer of the Year 2013.
The neatly taken Pigeons Over My Garden by Laura Grimsley was highly commended in the Young Photographer category. Just need them to spell Alex next time 😉
Who wouldn’t want to see this looking outside your window every day? Morning Magic by Annette Lepple was highly commended in the Gardens category.
I was born in Autumn and it’s always been my favourite season. This ethereal effort entitled Autumn Light by Brett Critchley won first prize in the Seasons category.
The magnificent Winter Morning at Water’s Edge by Lee Beel could almost be a painting, and won second prize in the Seasons category.
Getting second prize in the Wildlife category, Angry Bee by Jason Canning is a striking photo that shows real flair and detail.
Nature is full of the most delicate beauty, as wonderfully captured by Sarah-fiona Helme in her photo Winter Pose in the Wildlife category.
The subtle, dreamy photograph Cold Frame by William Black in was highly commended in the Seasons category.
