vivid joys sinking beneath a blanket
of dour uncertainty as muggy winds
drive downpours in sweeping passage … More A Grey Day

Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Things Made From Wood
23/10/2015
It’s time for another post for Cee’s Black and White Challenge. This week’s theme is, Things Made From Wood. All of today’s pictures are of a wooden statue that my grandfather brought back from Africa in the 1970s. She’s probably quite basic tourist wear, not to mention she’s rather battered nowadays, but she’s been a part … More Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Things Made From Wood
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Cameras or Photographers
10/10/2015
This post is in response to Cee’s Black and White Challenge. This week’s theme is, Cameras or Photos of Photographers. I wasn’t sure for a while whether I was going to be joining in with this week’s challenge because, as I’ve mentioned before, I don’t generally take many pictures of people. The exception, of course, is my … More Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Cameras or Photographers
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Backs of Things
04/10/2015
This post is in response to Cee’s Black and White Challenge. This week’s theme is, Backs of Things. I considered taking some photos of the backs of random items for this one but then I thought about all the pictures I’ve taken of my family that only show their backs . In the end I decided to create the … More Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Backs of Things
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Perspective
26/09/2015
This post is in response to Cee’s Black and White Challenge. This week’s theme is, Perspective. And here are my photos: A little while ago I was wandering along the lanes around the village when I discovered a piece of farm equipment, unhitched at the edge of a field.

Cee’s Black and White Challenge: What is Beautiful to You
13/09/2015
This post is in response to Cee’s Black and White Challenge. This week’s theme is, What is Beautiful to You, so I thought I’d post a few galleries. I hope you all like them. I find beauty in roses, blooming gloriously throughout the summer months, their velvet soft petals curling in intricate layers. I find beauty … More Cee’s Black and White Challenge: What is Beautiful to You

This post is for Cee’s Black and White Challenge. This week’s theme is flowers. This post was going to go up last night. I had a photograph (the first dahlia shot above) all ready to go.

Street Photography Countryside Style!
24/07/2015
It’s not often that I get the urge to take photographs of vehicles or people. Generally, as a rule, I like to capture images of either the natural world or historical buildings and things. Today, however, the lanes around the village were full of tractors, trundling back and forth with trailers full of manure (not the … More Street Photography Countryside Style!
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Older Than 50 Years
17/07/2015
The Lady of the Ossington Stairs creak, footsteps of a ghostly presence creeping ever closer. She watches through the veil as workmen transform her dream into her direst nightmare. As alcohol swirls in glasses, voices rising in drunken excitement, her ire grows. This was not what she wanted! How dare they defy her will? Fury crackles … More Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Older Than 50 Years
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Liquids
18/05/2015
You gaze upon the sun-kissed waters from the shoreline’s shaded nook, bare toes caressed by liquid chill. One by one you gather each angry thought, each nagging frustration that claws at mind and spirit, and you cast them into the depths. With a heart embracing serenity, you let the water wash away all cares. This is … More Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Liquids

04/05/2015
Whilst fashions change and technology takes flight on wings of wonder, still men and women continue to gather, summoned by the haunting cry of the train’s whistle. Eyes wide, captivated by the remembrance of a simpler time; ashes are brushed off shoulders, as darker truths are brushed from minds. This is my entry into Cee’s Black and … More Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Signs
