As the midwinter celebrations fade into memory, the new year settles into a haze of grey monotony – a progression of days shrouded in obscuring mist. But even amidst the gloom, an allure can be found if you open your eyes to the sight. Light will filter through even on the dullest of days. (Remember to … More January 2017
During December I again photographed the meadow, wooded area and stream in my village for Cardinal Guzman’s Monthly Changing Seasons challenge.

During July these … More Changing Seasons 2016: July

I know this is very late but I was determined to get it out anyway! As some of you may know, I spent April joining in with CampNanoWriMo.
