The weather is steadily getting warmer and sunnier and Spring has finally arrived. Consistently warm conditions and bright sunny days were perfect for this Clematis to thrive and grow. Its stamen remind me of fireworks or the tentacles of an Octopus.
The first time I’ve ever photographed a clematis.

I became interested in Digital Photography when I got my first Digital Camera in 2004. Photography has grown into a real passion over the last few years as I have learned more and my skills have progressed. Buying a digital SLR in 2009 opened up a whole new world of Photographic possibilities that has substantially increased my interest and devotion to the craft.
