It's all about perspective……
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
This weeks Lens-Artist is hosted by Patty at P.A. Moed. The theme is nature which gives us a lot of scope. I have chosen a set of macro and other close ups of flowers along the River Thames, mostly because they remind me that the long lazy summer days are heading our way.

I took these photos on Tuesday, when the light just changed into something magical for a few moments, not long after sunrise. If you… Continue reading A cold morning by the river
The third installment in my River thames walks picks up where I left off before. I have been waiting for a sunny day, but January is the best month for these so I decided to risk it with the sky overcast and dark, and whilst the sun is not shing from the waters surface, I… Continue reading River Walks – Teddington to Kingston
