I don't usually show flowers, not really my favourite thing to photograph, but Cherry Blossoms in Spring are a particular
favourite. Especially the ones we have along the main high street, Parliament Street. In fact these
bloomin' lovelies are right outside a building that used to be a shocking soft pink. Now soft pink isn't shocking you might say? It is when the pink building in question is the local Police station! It's now a dull sedate cream and I wasn't in the mood to show dull cream, on a sizzling blue sky day. We needed hot pink petals and
cheeriest of cherry blossoms. If
you're good I'll show you the Pink Police Station of the past sometime. That is if you're all on your best behaviour and I can find the file which is
definitely not named "hot pink police stations of Ramsey." No life is never that easy.
Finally a day off. Yippee.Ramsey is famous( in a very small circles obviously) for it's blooms, often representing the island in competitions, and the North of the island for island wide(wide my
ar..) floral showdowns. Fastest finger on the Geranium, and tulips at dawn. I'll stick with motorbikes and Rugby, which is not very girlie I know, but they are more my photography world and
certainly more challenging. If really want to see some pretty flowers and the odd arty one of Ramsey Blooms from my wee
colletcion, click below. This image was taken with the little point shoot not the big
nikon. You can still get soft focus with a point and shoot, just work the little
bugg.... and have fairy magic.
Marsh OrchidBlack TulipShellanA change from my usual My World posting,s more a generic petal power than a
specific to the area. Cherry Blossoms
afterall are not exclusive to the island, unlike the fairies of Man, the Manx ones.
