Sorry about the quality of these pics, but it’s so good so see signs of Spring. There will be more blossom to come, but meanwhile …
Prunus kojo-no-mai
Bed in front garden
Philadelphus Aurea
Hellebore
Pale pink Hellebore
Pulmonaria
Hyacinths – sorry about the light …
… but lovely to have a sunny day at last :)

Your photographs are lovely Sheila its always good to see them.... I always take lots, because of my eyes problems I sometimes don't see correctly and what looks okay on my screen at the time is actually blurred, I cannot take them via the viewfinder at all as I lose focus completely, I sort them out when they are on my laptop, a mistake I often used to make was to have my shadow in the photo's, now if its there its because i do it on purpose just so I'm actually in a shot..
I now take most of my gardening photographs on my mobile phone, that helps a lot as that screen is bigger., than the one on my camera's.....

Your photos were perfectly fine Sheila!
I love your hellebores and every year keep meaning to buy a different cherry tree.
The main one I have is in the front garen and is quite old now.
My camera usually take good pictures but I noticed on one that the gravel in my flower border looked blue! Not the usual brown and white mix!

The photos look fine to me Sheila, the Hellibores are beautiful, and it's nice to see spring arrive in our gardens with a bit of sunshone :)

Great to have a bright sunny day, its just poured and poured with rain here and so dull. Your photos are bright and cheary, thank you.

Smashing pics, Sheila. You certainly don't have to apologise, all looks good! Love your pretty hellebores! Gorgeous colours.
The blossom on the Prunus is in full swing, lovely!
I'm really admiring the blue of your Pulmonaria and your hyacinths are looking very pretty too.
Lovely morning here, managed to get the lawnmower out front and back... and trimmed a few things. Pottered and enjoyed the garden. Until a torrential downpour at lunchtime!! Weird weather again.

Sheila, there's nothing wrong with your lovely photos, you needn't worry! As for the one in the sunshine that's a mistake I've made lots of times & still keep on making it!
Your flowers are really lovely & do you credit!
We have had some showers, mostly at night, for the last few days but this evening it seems we have had a longer spell of rain. I went into the kitchen about 4.30 this evening & I think the rain may have just started but when I went back again at 6pm it was still raining! Unless it rains really hard we can't here it in our living room but we most certainly can in the kitchen!

Thanks everyone, Sue, Rose, Klahanie, Hywel, Siris and Kate, you’re all very kind 🙂. I used to take photos with my little camera, but it was difficult to see the subject. Now I take them with my iPad which is slightly better but not ideal. I just accept that photography is not my thing!

Thank you David, you’re very kind too!

Your Prunus is always a picture Sheila and is a mass of dainty blossom. I love your hellebores, especially the pale pink one.
At last our gardens have come to life, so lovely to see.

Lots of lovely flowers in your plot, Sheila. The photos are fine! Spring has sprung with you!

Thanks Chris and Ange. Yes, it’s great that Spring is gradually showing its colours 🙂🙂.

All lovely! Your little Prunus is gorgeous and I am jealous. Mine only has flowers on the bottom half - again!¬

Thanks Sue, but sorry yours is so frustrating 🙁.

Another blog I missed, sorry Sheila! This job lark during the week is getting in the way! ;-))
Your pics are just fine!!! All looks good back in March, love those gorgeous hellebores!

No need to apologise Kate ... it must be very hard to keep up when you are working so much. Thank you for catching up with me!

the photos are fine so need to apologise and certainly dont worry about that glorious sunshine.
the gardens are certainly waking up nicely. In fact a little too nicely for me if it is going to be right for Victoria's wedding.
