I spent  a while playing with a bunch of flowers that I’d bought Judy. The pink Gerbera was striking, so I spent some time trying to capture that with my Tamron 90mm macro lens.  The sun was streaming in the window, so there’s a few blown highlights on the waterdrops, but I’m pretty happy with it.

My favourite part of the day - going home. This is the Swansea train getting ready to leave Paddington Station.
