Spring. This is one of my favourite projects, capturing spring flowers. It’s the best treasure hunt of the season. From the top left, clockwise: wild strawberry, double flowering wild apple, blood root, magnolia, crocus, pear blossom.

Butterflies of Eastern North America, this project was a fun one just like Spring above. It was also a little tricker as butterflies are shy beauties that don’t like their photo taken.
