Dreaming and cleaning

On my way to work I noticed these sweeping brushes outside the back door of a local shop. The pattern on the brush handles lifted the mundane chore into the exotic worlds of high fashion or safari. Oh well a girl can dream!

If you stop a moment and look...

Past it's glorious purple blooms the thistle plant now takes on an ethereal quality. Caught in the warmth of early morning sunlight the seeds wait for that slight breeze to help them on their way.

Getting ready for those cooler days and nights

What do you see? I don't just see a stack of logs... I also see a crowd of people all getting on with life surrounded by friends. Different ages, different sizes, different shapes but all connected by the patterns of life. Each fitting perfectly together. 

Time for tea.

This shop is across the road from my house and often has amazing objects. This shows the staff hard at work with a good old cuppa and swapping a few tall tales of those bargains found and lost.

Simple..... a little soap a little water.

I love the way the water flows across the hands as they are washed. This simple act is the most effective infection control measure in the world. So let's all get washing our hands! and lets stay healthy.

Ready for action....

An old lady of some 15 years! Jess is always ready to catch that wayward tennis ball looking to escape to a far corner of the field.

A Happy Snap

I was having an isn't nature fabulous moment when I got caught by Mark with a camera! He was also making me laugh and trying to get me to look in his direction. As I'm usually behind the lens not in front of it, this image makes me smile. Mark and I we're different sides of the same coin - independent but connected.

Beauty in design

Does anyone still stop to admire the beauty of this old pump? Like a solider on guard duty it stands and basks in the last light of the suns rays. 

The Forgotten House

Who lived within it's walls. Did they know love, passion, sadness or tragedy. Why did they just leave. That nature will reclaim it is both sad and beautiful.

Simply a memory

I was treated to a perfect birthday breakfast by Liz. Sitting in her garden I saw this lovely rose and just had to capture the moment. Liz, Simon, James, Lucy and Mark you made my birthday just perfect.
