Wordless wednesday – a beach scene
(Actually this has a lot of words behind it. But for another day. )
Make me a detective – Career of Evil by R Galbraith launch event
Today I went to London. I spent hours on a train (with a book, and a sketchpad) in order to go to the launch event of the third in a series of books that I haven’t read. Ahem. Is it OK to admit that? It’s just it’s JK Rowling. And while I haven’t gotten around…
You can have berries. Or you can have moon. Not both
I stood on the pavement outside our house, and aimed my camera at the tree opposite, which has the most wonderful berries and leaves, and was being lit by the setting sun. And then I saw the moon. And I spent the next ten minutes trying to get shots of the moon with the tree.…
Sunday morning in the garden
Bedraggled is the word for it really. It’s a bit soggy out there. Things to note when pootling around in your pyjamas 😉 But if you squint and stroll and look around, there’s all sorts going on. This guy looks how I feel.. Whereas I don’t think this flower got the whole autumn memo. In…
Look down as well as up
Lesson of the day – look down as well as up. No sunrise visible today – heavy cloud cover and drizzly rain. I spent a while on the beach trying (and failing) to take artful pictures of spray – got my feet wet twice in the process. Decided I’d walk around the point to…
A bit of creative musing, and a creators circle prompt
A breakfast sketch. Sitting in the garden pondering creation. (Not Creation creation, just the act of making stuff. ) When I arrange my pictures to capture a moment of life that doesn’t include the messy house, or my frazzled face, am I lying? I prefer to think I am sharing a glimpse of the…
No words to spare
So have another sunrise (not today’s sadly, which was a bit pathetic as these things go). Do remember to check out the instagram feed to keep up to date with my pics.
Friday photo – sunrise and spray.
Worth getting up before 7 and running to the beach. More pics (and even a timelapse video!) on instagram
Sun dogs and eclipses
The super blood moon last night was incredible. The three youngest children saw it – each of the younger two just had a look, while Small stayed up for around an hour watching it. I didn’t get a red picture. For some reason it didn’t occur to me to try manual focus, and the light…
Friendship, community and creativity
Have a picture of a seagull. This isn’t just a seagull, this is a symbol of friendship. Susan sent me the sketch set used to draw it as a surprise present, this sketch is by way of a thank you. We’ve built our friendship online, through our blogs, through twitter, through instagram. We’re watching…
