Coloma Rose Garden, Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium
This time of year, when Belgium’s only colours are shades of grey, I can’t help but dream of the bright spring and summer days. I spend the winter months catching up on last year’s travels and planning for a burst of garden photography in spring. While my focus is often on tulip gardens in the...

Where Do I Go From Here?
As you correctly guessed from my last post, I spent the past weekend in Holland, photographing gardens. I’ll be posting more about Keukenhof and Arcen over the next few days, but today I want to write about something a little more personal. Also, I’d like to ask for your help and advice.
Tulip Mania
Sorry it’s been a while. I’ll give you four guesses where I’ve been hiding the last few days…
