0548/26th August 2021 More impressionist photography. It was misty at 6 am, but also I was bleary-eyed and the camera lens was fogged up! However I don't dislike the result. As I turned to go back indoors to my soft pillow, I noticed the moon brightly shining through the trees on it's way to bed. … Continue reading Investigation
17th July 2021 The other reason I'm not wild about July is because things start to "go over", as Mum would have said. For as long as I can remember, I've always hated the sight of dead flowers, be they in a vase or in the garden. Mum couldn't bear to throw out cut flowers … Continue reading Bugs

There are plenty more … Continue reading After the storm…
