Anne MacIntyre
I love taking photographs of flowers, most of all, I love taking photographs of flowers I have grown myself. I have a small garden in St Albans and I also have an allotment which is quickly filling up with dahlias and cosmos. Nurturing my baby plants is a joy in itself but then studying individual blooms and exploring how to take a beautiful picture is a way of extending my enjoyment of the flowers. I have also converted the boring patch of grass at the front of the house into a flowerbed which I hope will become a mini urban meadow. If you are interested in the process and would like to follow my progress throughout the year do take a look at my blog page.

I have made cards, prints and calendars of my floral pictures for my family and friends for quite a few years and now hope you will find some joy in them too.

I have entered a few competition, mainly because I have admired previous winners and it does also push me to be critical about my own photography and consider whether an image is good enough. I am very proud of the following awards.
