It's the month of February and we have reached the point in time where winter feels like it has been never ending. Winter is most definitely my least favourite time of year. Now that Mother Nature is hinting at springtime, it does somehow seem almost bareable. I think Snowdrops are my favourite flower simply because they are the first to bloom each year and they do give hope.
This photograph was made in the grounds of Erskine Hospital which lies beisde the Erskine Bridge and is home for ex-military personel who have been seriously injured while serving the nation.

Sometimes there is a huge element of luck involved in outdoor photography here in Scotland because you can never ever rely on the weather to allow you to plan for a photo shoot.
So unlike me, for a Saturday I didn't plan on a photoshoot and of course Mother Nature had other ideas. This evening is the Spring Equinox and the clocks go forward an hour, it is also my first sunset shoot of this year.
This one was shot over 15secs at f3.5, ISO100 at 18mm then I took it into Lightroom for processing and then photoshop for a little unsharp mask to crisp up the light streams from the traffic.

Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight.

I was drawn by the colours of the reflections of the grass in the fishing pond in this shot.
