Cherry Blossom

Admiring the Cherry Blossom…

…while walking through the park today.

Noticing

Sitting outside as the sun was sitting last night I couldn’t help noticing…

…how the bare stems of this plant were outlined by the sun’s light. Beautiful!

Flowers by Street Light

If it weren’t for the depth of the shadows you could almost mistake this for a daytime picture.

The street lights here are very white.

Plants by Street Light

I really love how differently things look at night.

The colours are changed by the street lighting and the shadows are so much deeper than during the day time.

Spooky Reflections

When I was previewing yesterday’s image, I noticed a spooky looking hand reflected in the top left corner.

So I stage managed this one!

Just Sitting and Waiting…

Just sitting and waiting…

…for the Yes concert to begin last night

Crooked Spire Church

Visiting Chesterfield in Derbyshire today, we couldn’t help but notice the Crooked Spire Church.

Built in the late thirteenth century, it has been suggested that it was the weight of the lead (32 tons) on the timber frame of the spire that caused it to bend and twist.

Inky Hands!

Believe it or not, I’ve scrubbed my hands and had a shower since I used this ink.

One of the joys of being an artist!

Hail Stones!

Hail stones…

…and it’s nearly May!! What happened to the sunshine?

Day Bag Testing

Getting ready for an upcoming outdoor course, I’ve been testing this day bag.

It’s designed as a cycle bag, but I’m finding it perfect for me for walking!
