My Photo Blog

  • Cream Abundance

    This is a rose I have in my patio garden. I took the pic indoors some time ago with the rose laid on a small mirror and with a white background. I thought I would refresh it with a coloured background for a more ‘artistic’ look. It’s so nice to be able to share my…

  • My Photo Comeback

    I’m so pleased to be back with my hobby after a couple of testing years…. had nasty fall that needed hip replacement , followed by two cataract operations last year. The mince pies [ cockney slang] had made photography pretty much useless as I couldn’t judge the sharpness of anything. It was all very frustrating…

  • Sunset

    Life happens and when it does it can change everything -especially comfortable habits and routines. So it is that my regular photography hobby has been on the back burner for ages , without much chance of getting back into the swing! However, I made myself grab my old Stylus camera to take an auto shot…

  • Roses

    I won’t bore you all with yet another apology for being inactive here … I will just post as I’m able and I’m very grateful to have an outlet to share on with no demands or pressures, especially with the strange circumstances we are all currently in. I thank the Lord for His good gifts…

  • It’s Been A Long Time!

    I hadn’t realised how long it’s been since I last posted anything here. My only excuse is that ‘Life’ intervened and I seemed to have so much to cope all at the same time, which depleted my energy – even for taking pictures. So, over the last few months I took the occasional photo but…

  • Garden Visitors

    I’ve mentioned before, I’m sure, that I am fortunate to have a little patio garden and I’ve been making an effort this year to attract more birds and butterflies. The Bees have always been plentiful. I’ve been unsuccessful with the Butterflies as usual, but now that I have a new bird table and bath the…

  • Busy Bees

    Busy Bees

    I haven’t posted any pics for such a long time – I’m afraid ‘life’ intervenes – as it does for everybody of course, but it gets more frequent as you get older! It isn’t as if I’ve been completely inactive with my camera, for when I couldn’t get out and about, I still did indoor…

  • Same Walk, Different Pics

    Same Walk, Different Pics

    This is the first lady angler that I’ve seen at the lake! Fortunately she very kindly said she didn’t mind me taking her photo.  The sun was streaming across the lake behind her – back-lighting and high-lighting herself and the trees either side of her.  Perfect! This single leaf also posed perfectly for me ….…

  • More of the Same, but Different

    More of the Same, but Different

    I don’t think I’ve ever come across such an interesting tree before! As it appears to be native to swampy areas of N.America, I wonder how it came to be here in Sussex at the Ifield Mill Pond and Bewbush Water Gardens?  I wonder if, like the Tilgate Lake and Park, the place was originally…

  • Bald Cypress [Taxodium distichum]

    Bald Cypress [Taxodium distichum]

    I’ve often wondered about this tree that I’ve passed every time I’ve walked around the local lake. I obviously haven’t caught it at its most spectacular up until now!  When I got back home I took the time to search on line for its name but of course, it wasn’t showing up in any British…
