The Ides of March has always been a phrase that I have loved, without ever really knowing what it meant. In my teens there was a song by Iron Maiden but still it was just a cool instrumental track at the beginning of one of their albums. I'll come back to this. If you live in… Continue reading The Ides of March
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.

At 1345 meters above sea level, Ben Nevis is a manageable mountain, and the climb up and down in… Continue reading Ben Nevis
This weeks challenge is hosted by Tina at Travels & Trifles, and the theme of shadows is very interesting. It gives a lot of scope really, but I have focused on some shapes of nature, and a shot taken in Crete last year.
Thanks to Cee's blog I have found my way to Thursday Tree Love, hosted by Parul at Happiness and Food. My contribution this week is this magnificent Baobab Tree which I photographed in Kenya. The scale of these trees is immense, and even having a carefully arranged person in the shot does not seem to… Continue reading ThursdayTreeLove – 57 Challenge
