An exhibit from the Canary Wharf Winter Lights festival in 2025. Somehow the still photo attracts me more than the many videos I made of it. ✨️

This year's festival is just about to close as I post this.

Amplitudes. Winter Lights.

An exhibit at the Winter Lights festival, January 2024. Regrettably, I have misplaced the details about it. After being featured in this festival in London, it has appeared in other cities around the world. 🔥

Leucadendron 'Safari Sunset'. A member of the Proteaceae family.

Currently the rage in the local florists, the flowers are attractive and brighten up dull winter days. 🌱🌸

Everyone is talking about the Aurora borealis that has been visible across the upper northern hemisphere. Due to clouds covering London, I thought about this winter light display, inspired by the phenomenon, back in 2018. ✨️

A floral installation for Chelsea In Bloom 2021. Due to the lock down, it took place in September instead of May.

The marigold flowers used here had an incredible fragrance, which reminded me of the markets in India. 🌱🏵

A collage of photos of Jatropha rosea flowers taken during my visits to New Delhi in the early 2010s. Hope I can visit again soon.

Posted following a recent discussion I had with @shlead.bsky.social 🌱🌸 who inspired me to sort out the photos taken on a Canon DSLR.

My morning walk through my neighbourhood revealed this Camellia japonica bush in early bloom. Usually the buds open out in late February or early March. Hope it will survive the cold and snow. 🌱🌺🌸

Another festive and holiday season will soon be at an end. Then we have to wait another eleven months to see the decorations again. 🌟✨️🌟

If you have the chance to see this post on Instagram, there's music too.

Having featured numerous Christmas trees in my previous posts, I thought I should feature this festive decoration.

At Battersea Power Station, there have been images of Christmas trees projected on to the chimneys and the walls of the columns that support them. A sight to behold.🎄🌟✨️
