Life is all about balance. At this time of year, there is as much light as darkness – and this is reflected in the flowers around us.

Taking photos for #rainbowblooms this week, I was surprised at how much green  is still around. On the surface, it would seem that things are going to seed but there’s still lots of new life emerging.

Taking part in #rainbowblooms has given me much more appreciation for the subtle shifts in the season; from purples dominating a few weeks ago to reds, yellows and oranges brightening the days now.

Join in with #RainbowBlooms between 11am and 6pm every Sunday and help brighten up Twitter as the days get darker.
