Spring is here!

We have a very pretty white wisteria growing on the site of our balcony. Every year it gives us a curtain of white flowers along the side of the house, and every year the spring winds blow them all to bits. I am hoping that this year will be different as we already have the winds and the wisteria is still in bud! It could be a timing thing, or it could be that we are in for a lot more wind but regardless I am looking forward to seeing the wisteria in flower again.
White Clematis

Right now we have the next door neighbours clematis in full bloom flowing over the side of the fence down the driveway. It really is am impressive site and the flowers last for a long time. I picked a bit off this weekend while I was having a play with my macro lens. I am not sure if it is the lens or if it is me, but I can never seem to achieve the look I am wanting to get with it. I was almost ready to toss it in the rubbish on Saturday I was so frustrated. In the end I gave up - which is not like me, and I have missed the first brief on the photo 5 competition. I see no point in entering an image that is not up to the required standard, so I entered nothing. There are still four more briefs left - maybe one of them will be a winner for me.
