9/365 The Pumpkin Fairy
We have a pumpkin growing in the garden. We’ve had some marrows in the past that got to a reasonable size. I wonder how big this will get? It is always interesting to follow the progress of these things. I had to do a little bit of scrabbling around to get a picture. I wentContinue reading “9/365 The Pumpkin Fairy”

4/365 A lady in Red
Really, this is all about Street Photography. Wonderful landscapes are of course a joy to behold, but people add the interest to a lot of photographs. Like a lot of things, I can’t explain any of my obsessions, and street photography is certainly among them. How much have I done? Possibly a dozen pictures, notContinue reading “4/365 A lady in Red”
3/365 Windows & Phone lines
I was out delivering leaflets, when my I was taken by the line of windows. Along a street not far from me. When I read about photography, there is a focus on lines and shapes. I confess I’m not really very good at seeing them, but I am trying and looking. This line of houses,Continue reading “3/365 Windows & Phone lines”
