Flora

A small selection of images devoted to trees and flowers and their infinite variety.
The vast array of flowers, trees and vegetation that surrounds us, both out in the wild or in a vase on a shelf, provide a constant and vibrant range of photogenic subjects. Paul has selected here a colourful selection of some of his favourites.
"Flowers and trees remain one of my favourite things to photograph.  The day I become bored with photographing them is possibly the day I will stop picking up a camera altogether".
