Evening light


The last few evenings have been quite beautiful here in Sheffield; summer at the edge of the Peak District. I've found the way the evening sun lit up some of my plants to have been quite breathtaking. I'm not sure the photographs quite capture the beauty, but I hope you can see through my amateur lens and enjoy some of the colours as I have.

Deschampsia cespitosa 'Goldtau' and Acer palmatum 'Sango-kaku'


Acer palmatum 'Sango-kaku'
