Most of my photographs are simply recording things which I thought looked interesting. This was the view out the window of the airliner I was on as we approached the Bristish coastline. I’m wondering what the island is. I liked the texture of the sea in the evening light (think this shows even in a small image). I stripped away the colours because I thought they were distracting.

I thought I would share a few things I discovered recently. The quote I love, because it speaks to the root of photography and finding beauty in the world around us. It is there, waiting for us to be ready to find it.
The photograph I took earlier in the month, at the end of a long day walking along the River Thames. After a day of alternating rain and sunshine, I thought it had finally clouded over, when to my surprise, we had a beautiful sunset, which almost lit up the daffodills as they swayed in the breeze.
After a long autumn, we are finally in winter. This is from a couple of weeks ago, when we had a hard frost, but more recently we have had snow which has stayed with us quite a while: gettting greyer, and shinier with every day.
