Well at last the sun has come out for at least three days in one week !
So that means not only the gardening jobs are beckoning but more importantly doing a blog on my photographic ventures over the last few months with the theme of red, white and blue.
Last November provided some excellent autumnal foliage which when back lit really made a good image with colour and detail - and this last poppy of the year against a rare clear blue sky was quite dramatic.
Next came Xmas, and although the Xmas lights in Sheffield were a tad unphotogenic, Andrew and I scoured around and this image was the most inspirational ! Though what with the impending budget cuts, this may well be the last time Santa in seen in the city !
And so the snow came and with in the challenge of taking a moody snow scene. So here is a 19th C mile stone up on the moors to the west of Sheffield with snow blown in to the hand carved text. And if you look closely the individual stones in the dry stone wall behinds were edged in snow - a neat natural effect !
London then beckoned to visit family / some shopping which involved visiting a well known museum with an amazing entrance, but which one ??
And so to Weymouth on family business, but naturally the camera went as well just in case. And while wandering by the harbour side, this image presented itself which I thought was quite a clever composition. And finally, just the best ice cream on the south coast can be found on the sea front at Rossi's - long may it continue as it is truly amazing......bring on summer !
And I make a public promise to be a better regular blogger in 2013
