Leaves & Flowers at Stockwood

Having not taken any photographs for a while and now, almost over an intransigent cough, cold and conjunctivitis, I felt a trip to the Discovery Centre coming on. The near certainty of it being crowded by half-term hordes of children was only to be expected, but considering that it was not even sunny and warm, even I was surprised at just how full it was.

There were less blooms than I had imagined, but there was at least a good number of bees, though I heard none of the buzz because of the high ambient noise and the not infrequent passing of landing aircraft passing directly overhead.

Although sunlight does bring both flowers and leaves to life, flat lighting does offer quite good saturation of colour, so the gallery of images fortunately do not disappoint, so I was able to make the best of my time there, especially as leaves are at their freshest.
