Summer time

The flowers
I love the summer. The only downside for me is that I get hayfever which is a drag.

Perhaps it is a small price to pay for the beautiful things mother makes for us to see in the summer.

These are some flowers I photographed on Sunday afternoon.

Burning

Smoking away...
Here is a photograph I took several months ago…

at the time, I was not happy with it, but I rediscovered it recently and now I feel different.

Winter blues?

dandelionI am now fed up with the persistently cold and wet days of the last month. How I long for a bright sunny day to chase away these winter blues.

Abandoned?

bicyclesI am still here. I have been distracted with many big changes…

The bicycle shed at Paddington Station. I watched for a while as owners would return, spend a few minutes trying to locate their bicycle, a few more minutes untangling it from the rest and then set off on their ride home.

Playing with my toys

I got a new lens and in classic “new toy style”, I could not wait to get home with it. So I didn???t wait – I opened it up, attached it to my camera and started taking pictures as I was dragged through the other shops by my stronger half!

I took this photograph in Habitat.

Have a fun day.
