This is my personal blog, not a venue for saleable images. In fact, because it's here that I share things that are important to me with the members of the moblog community, photo quality's not my priority. Events, occasions, achievements, thoughts, trips and experiments - you'll find them all here. Contact me for the development version of my photo portfolio, for a selection of saleable images or visit my dance photography blog or my website for cuttings. And remember that all photos remain my copyright unless I've specifically said otherwise.

"Never to get lost is not to live, not to know how to get lost brings you to destruction, and somewhere in the terra incognita in between lies a life of discovery."
........ Rebecca Solnit
"Give, give, give -- what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine."
........ Isabel Allende
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs - ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
........ Harold Thurman Whitman
"The real voyage of discovery consists not of seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes...."

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.. you have no such accurate remembrance of a country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle...."

"Ambition leads me not only father than any other man has been before me, but as far as I think it is possible for man to go."
........ James Cook
"The grand show is enternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapour is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."
........ John Muir
"The bicycle is the most civilised conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart."
........ Iris Murdoch
"Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your picture...."

So very beautiful! The top shot is so wonderfully lush and green, but I'm just crazy about the 4th shot. That is reflection perfection. :)
I think the 4's have it, the 4's have it.
What a great place to walk.
So beautiful.
Anonymous was me. I still think these are such springly sprung snaps
Thanks guys
It was a lovely day. I really must get out there more often
Lovely, lovely shots.
You'll all note that she didn't have the good grace to call on me to collect her birthday present while she was in town...it's getting to the stage where I just want it out of the house!
Low blow Geo..

Thanks all
Viv - I've had 2 days off, what do you want from me :-)
Nige - I was too hungry to think about photos on the way there. This was the first and only shot I took
Grantchester Meadows. In the middle of a lovely orchard.
S - indeed
taniwha - could do with another mega scone with clotted cream right now :-)
At 9 in the morning? You are easter-fied.
S - wasn't there a Pink Floyd about Grantchester Meadows? It was one of the few that were actually listenable on Ummagumma
I'll listen again this morning while working
taniwha - I've never understood why peoplebelieve that good food should be eaten at specific times and am cooking roast chicken and mashed potatoes for breakfast as we speak..
Roast chicken and mash for breakfast is a sure sign of spending too much time on your own! :-)
Love the photos. Looks like spring has really come to visit up there.
Hi Jesson, I've not seen you for a while (probably because I've not been around that much myself)
How do you know I wasn't sharing it?
OK... I wasn't... but I could have been....
