It is looking great at the moment and well worth a visit. This year it seems that the gardens have bloomed earlier, about a week to ten days, so now is the time to visit if you can.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1644\" title=\"Clyne Gardens20110422_NCD0191\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0191.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0191-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0191-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It never ceases to amaze me how long I can spend in one position making some images. A part from the image immediately above, all the images were taken in an area 5 metres square. I always claim that walking around with all the camera gear keeps me fit, but at this rate I will be needing to walk a bit further.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1647\" title=\"Clyne Gardens20110422_NCD0261\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0261.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0261.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0261-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0261-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The light conditions varied from very bright and contrasty to overcast, so as the clouds arrived, I switched to making detail images. I think a few park visitors were a bit suspicious of me as to take the images above and below, I was half in and out of the fir at the same time. At least my blue T-shirt and red fleece didn&#8217;t make?it look as if I was hiding, but some strange looks came my way anyway.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1646\" title=\"Clyne Gardens20110422_NCD0255\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0255.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0255.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0255-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Clyne-Gardens20110422_NCD0255-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I popped into Clyne Gardens for an hour or two on Good Friday, and even though the rain came down, I had a chance to wander round the whole garden&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1643"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1643"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1643\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1653,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1643\/revisions\/1653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
