Stockwood Discovery Centre – Greenhouse Colour

The last time I visited the Discovery Centre, I chose to capture the visitors to the British Wildlife photos on the first day, however I ran out of time to take a good look at the pictures that justly deserved their awards, I therefore chose this visit to make amends and devote time to studying them and reading something of those who had been rewarded.

Once again not only are the standards high, but the younger photographers are up there with the best of them. I highly recommend anyone to visit and look at. what these people have not just seen, but captured.

The sun was out and warm and there were puffy white clouds after the earlier downpour, so I took the opportunity first to catch up with the gardeners and then to take up the suggestion of taking a look at the heliotrope which had defied the odds and was looking splendid in the greenhouse. I had not expected to be there long, but was pleasantly surprised – there was more on offer.

After a while inside I then made my way slowly over to the exhibition and took my tour around, and it was good to hear the soft approving murmurs from other members of the public as I took my time to admire the work and read the details as to where the shots were taken and sometimes what equipment had been used.
