Recent trip to Eden Project and new camera pics

I visited the Eden Project to take part in a Botanical Painting 3 day course (will post about that soon) whilst there I took some photos with my newly acquired camera, Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II. It was an ideal place to test it out with a wealth of beautiful flowers and plants.

Beautiful Ranunculus Flower

Echeveria Succulent Plant, I love its geometry.

Climbing Sorrel (Begonia Glabra)

Just love the contrast of this lime and purple foliage

Mysore Clock Vine Flower

Another lovely Orange Ranunculus

Pink Ranunculus Flower with white Ranunculus

Another lovely contrast between Purple tulip and mint coloured leaves

Some fancy Tulips!

My latest Cornwall Trip

I've collected a few pics I took whilst on holiday in Cornwall a few weeks ago.

 Loved the different textures in this pic, taken on my cliff walk from Polzeath, and the vivid orange of the Lichen.

 I photographed lots of coastal flowers and plants, which I plan to draw at some point!

 A selection of beautiful Dahlias from the collection at the Eden Project

I love the the beautiful leaves on these Succulents and how they grow out from the centre. 

 Adorable Tree Frog hiding amongst the leaves in the rainforest Biome

 The contrast of colour on the leaves of this plant really caught my eye.

 The ethereal beauty of the Sensitive plant's flowers 

A lovely mix of colourful wild flowers

 

 Lovely contrasting green and purple cabbages in the vegetable garden at the Lost Gardens of Heligan

 Not sure what flowers are but their colour and scale is stunning!

Sunny Harlyn Bay on the final day.

Cute little air plants

Whilst visiting the Eden Project last week I bought some super cute Airplants (Tillandsias) as I have wanted some of them for ages! You can buy them online as well, from lovetillys. I planted one in a vintage Hornsea egg cup (I had wanted to find a use for these for a while!) and one in a latte bowl from Anthropologie. Then I put some pebbles I had collected from the beach around them, super :)
