Pretty yellow flowers! :)

Lovely photos! I don't think I've ever seen so many cowslips together like that.

They have sow drifts of them in their orchard area and it is a very impressive sight.

These are so lovely, especially the almost abstract reflection one. Thanks for posting them.

Just lovely stuff!

Okay, these are seriously gorgeous. <3

Edit: I just looked at your profile to make sure you weren't in fact a professional photographer, before I put my foot in it by telling you I think you easily could be. I grew up in a world full of photographers, that being my dad's profession, and this is pro-quality work.

Thank you for the praise. I have taught myself to photograph things that I like, and use a tiny compact digital camera to do the job. The fact that you think I am a pro means I must be doing something right!

I saw that you are looking for a Librarian Exit Strategy, and I can't help thinking yours could involve a camera.

There's something you might enjoy, if you're not already doing it. This online thing called the DP Challenge: http://www.dpchallenge.com/

I know someone who does this for fun and to get feedback and discussion that are otherwise hard to come by.
