Welcome to another month of the 30 Minutes in the Life blog circle!
I’ve been spending a lot of time recently playing with layers and using the Pep Ventosa technique to create photographic images that are impressionistic in style. A couple of weeks ago, while I was (socially distance) walking the dog with my parents, I saw a tree from a distance that was just coming into blossom. I knew I had to give it a few days but it was calling out to me to be photographed and I was keen to get back to it!
Another day, another dog walk, I made my way back to the lone tree with blossom in the field behind Fleet Pond.

After completing my mission, we headed through the field towards Fleet Pond. The dog loves the beach!
