I'm joining Parul at Happiness and Food for her bi-monthly Thursday Tree Love. We are a bit spoiled for choice in Kingston at the moment with plenty of blossom everywhere, but also the buds of this years growth starting to push through. Here are a few I have captured over the last week or so.… Continue reading Thursday Tree Love #59
I have seen this a few times over the last year, each time it seems to have grown a little. The building has been boarded up since I can remember, being right by the main railway station in Kingston, but the wrong side of the tracks obviously. Despite the general run down feel, and obvious… Continue reading A different kind of Street Art
The changing Seasons is a challenge put up by Su from Zimmerbitch, a blogger from NZ. This is my first attempt, so I hope I get it right. I have already put posts up from walks and bike rides I have been doing, so I am pulling photos from the month that have not seen… Continue reading The Changing Seasons – February 2019
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
I had an interesting time today, visiting some friends who live on a Dutch Barge on the Thames in Kingston. This is somewhat larger that the British version, and actually makes for some serious living space. Whilst I imagine the lifestyle comes with some challenges, particularly in the dead of winter, on a sunny day… Continue reading Gertruida
The light was a little surreal last night, with dark storm clouds we did no think we would get a sunset at all. Then as I cycled home I noticed the gap between the dense cloud and horizon so followed down the Thames to get these shots. I was late to pick the kids up… Continue reading Sunset on the Thames
This weeks theme is Made by Man, which is pretty broad, so I have taken shots from some of my favorite places for this. Thank you as always to Cee for Hosting.
Today I thought I would enter the challenge hosted by Cee, the Flower of the Day. This is for two reasons, the first that I am excited that all of a sudden the spring flowers are pushing their way through on the grass bank outside my home, a definite sign that we can start looking… Continue reading FOTD – 9th Feb 2019 – Unknown
My favorite challenge is the Friendly Friday challenge, hosted alternately by The Snow Melts Somewhere, and Amanda at Something to Ponder About, this week with Snow, who has given the challenge of 'stay in your comfort zone'. I've had a good think about this one, and am going to start with two of my real… Continue reading Friendly Friday – stay in your comfort zone
This week Cee's B&W photo challenge is the subject 'Construction related'. Living here in Kingston we have a lot of construction going on almost constantly. Today was a nice sunny day, cold, but not clouded and snowing like the few days before. I set about trying to get some good contrasts with the sky and… Continue reading Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Anything Construction Related
