This was taken at the fairground at the Enfield Motoring Pageant last bank holiday. I added textures and colour adjustments and of course the Jimi Hendrix quote, which seems to fit the picture perfectly. :-)

Italian Style

I went to the Enfield Motoring Pageant this bank holiday Monday and took this picture. I love old scooters and used to drive a Vespa a long time ago. Even though the weird balance makes them far more difficult to drive than a motorbike, they are wonderful to look at. A piece of Italian Style, which I hopefully did credit to. This is a vintage Lambretta.

The View

Taken a little while back in Cambridgeshire on a 'photo walk'. I loved the way the view was leading the eye towards the horizon. The day was almost as sunny as it looks but nowhere near as warm.

Golden Light Cherryblossom

Taken a few days ago on the one sunny day we seemed to have last week. I love cherryblossom and magnolia and the plumtree in my front garden because they herald spring and that winter is almost over. I am not a winter person, unless it's big drifts of snow and blue skies... However, spring is almost here... despite the snow last week.

Another of my handwritten posters. This time with a happy theme and a beach-y feel to it. :-) Some of the patterns are again from Pixels & Icecream.

Love Hurts

Taken in my garden a couple of days ago. This image of a Berberis branch has been taken with my macro lens. I loved the play of light on the branch and in the background. Colour adjustments and a couple of textures.

Forsythia

MCN: CUMKP-49PMM-9UWBV

I thought we all could do with some sunshine with all that rain (at least here in the UK) coming down on us and trying to wash us away.... Yes, yes I know, how are we supposed to be in a drought, when it rains all the time? Well, the water hasn't made it all the way through to the ground water level yet. So we need some more rain. Miserable, I know. However, here are some golden forsythia and a blue sky to tide you over. (Pun intended.) :-)

Spring Glory

MCN: C1YDN-U4X9C-98QCD

I love spring. By the end of winter I usually feel so depressed by all the grey and dreariness that spring can't come soon enough and the first little sign of it cheers me up no end. Suddenly there's colour again and light and everything and everyone seems to wake up and come alive again. That's what this image is all about. Dig it?

Day at the Beach

MCN: C8BDT-M3XM5-K793A

I didn’t actually find the car at the beach, but one day when I walked around town with my camera… however, I thought it’d look perfect on the beach. :-) The lobster sign and the beach image are from the Suffolk Coast.

Summer - Grass in the Wind I and II

MCN: CYPKG-5THS6-XE84N

MCN: CYQFJ-M8YF5-CH4TL

These two are my favourite images from the weekend. I love the light/shadow play and the simplicity of the photographs. For me it's a window straight into a lazy Summer afternoon....

I am trying to make the most of the Summer holidays and the (so far) great weather. However, today it's raining. :-( Typical, it's the start of the Cambridge Rock Festival today...

In the Garden

I spent yesterday afternoon in the garden drawing. It was just too sunny and beautiful outside to sit on the computer...

Here are some of the seedlings I planted with a friend a couple of weeks ago. Once they're grown to the right size they will go into the allotment to grow properly... Click on the images to see a larger version.

Mostly everything is growing well - the parsley is still in hiding so is Good King Henry and the mini cucumbers, but chervil, beans, courgettes, tomatoes and lettuce, peppers and all sorts of other things including sunflowers and lupins are thriving with the glorious weather.

I need some new designs for my Envelop shop, so I've been doodling to see what I can come up with. The first one is for cushion covers and I might transfer to the computer so I can upload it to my shop. The second is a border that will come in handy for all sorts of things... LOL
