If you have been reading this series of blogs about the Island of Cephalonia, you will know I left us having struggled to take the journey much past Fiscardo in the North after the last edition. What can I say, a lot of things happened in Fiscardo. If you missed that episode then please click… Continue reading Kefalonia – Adventures on a moped
The last couple of mornings have been rather misty. A very pretty start to the days which are now turning out warm and sunny. Yes we have early spring here in London. We must be doing something right. If I were a believer in gods and diving punishment, I would say maybe we have it… Continue reading Misty Morning
This week's Friendly Friday challenge is hosted by The Snow Melts Somewhere, and the theme is Dreamy. For this I have chosen the sky, which is ever changing and absolutely fascinating to me in the colour and texture it brings to life.

Something to… Continue reading Lens-Artist #33 – Nature

I always look forward to the spring blossom. It's like our reward for surviving winter again. As my contribution to Cee's flower of the day here is the first blossom of my year, duly photographed in Syon Park, Isleworth today.
Vast sweeping mountains, pastel villages crowded around natural harbours, surrounded by tree covered hills that reach out with arms of hardened rock to protect the inhabitants within. Isolated and secluded emerald watered bays provide playgrounds where suntanned tourists swim from white sparkling yachts with wine and picnics on-board. A shiny capital that boasts a stunning… Continue reading Kefalonia – and a life or death moment
