j'adore la hellebore

I have several different Hellbore plants in my studio at the moment, they are such strangely beautiful plants. Here are a few more of the pictures I have made of them recently, I find it hard to walk past them without stopping a while to capture them from another angle.

The Old Yellow Fellow

Annabella's Yellow by Jo Bradford

Today I am having a yellow day, no doubt because I am craving a bit of sunshine, a glimpse of the "old yellow fellow" as grandad used say :)

Translucent

Translucent by Jo Bradford

I have been enjoying immersing myself in my photography in my studio these last few weeks. The front area of my studio has large north facing windows, an artists dream from a lighting point of view. I am also lucky to have a wonderful plant nursery in the shared yard at my studio workshop space. I often scrape together my pennies and pop into the greenhouse to see what delights have been nurtured there by the loving hands of Mary and John, whose business it is. I loved this shoot I did last week as the early evening light in my studio was filling the room with a warm glow. The translucent petals were positively radiating coloured light as I worked, and the scene filling my lens was rather reminiscent of stained glass windows.
