Good morning .

Thanks as always for dropping by and for any Likes.

Quick advert – We have taken the plunge and have printed up some of the work here on our Photostream and we are at a craft fair at St Mary’s Church, Derby on 5^th November, 11am-3pm.

If you are around please pop in and say hello

Paula and I went on a Photo Safari during the week to Southport and Blackpool. I have never seen the Blackpool illuminations and Paula hasn’t been since her childhood.

My impressions, being from the West Country, were that it was like Weston-Super-Mare on Speed!!!

I couldn’t say that we found much that excited us about the actual illuminations, although we had a very enjoyable evening.  Shock of shocks we even found some Bristol Rovers Rock to include in our presents for my Dad’s forthcoming 80^th Birthday. I did begrudgingly also buy some Bristol City Rock for my brother, the black sheep of the family.

However, as we walked back to the Car, at the far end towards Starr Gate, there is a permanent giant glitter ball. We took some shots of this before we realised that the lights sometimes swivel downwards and make patterns on the Ground.

We were both taken with this shot, we hope you are too.

Best wishes

Paula and Martin

PS we are also at the Totterdown Art Trail in Bristol on 19^th November in Greenwoods Property Centre, 148 Wells Road.

Tree Face

This was well spotted by she who must always be obeyed on a trip to Lumsdale Falls on the outskirts of Matlock.

Under her instructions, I duly took his.

We welcome any suggestions on what name we should give this tree.

 

 

Outnumbered

So I say to her ladyship “fancy coming upstairs, I’ve a surprise for you”

Oh yes she says.

Was she disappointed?

Not at all.

The Lady loves Sherbet Flying Saucers!!!!!

(loves me more obviously)

Not happy that I had converted the bedroom into a studio though.

We had lots of fun sorting through to isolate two colours from two bags of assorted shades.

Not happy that the next day in the market we found we could have bought a bag of 50 for £1 that were just two colours

The Shell Seekers

 

Hello and thanks for dropping by and in advance for any comments or liking.

We were in France and had travelled to the top of a small mountain, the Pic du Jer,  overlooking the Catholic Shrine of Lourdes.

Having a seat and taking in the views, we both looked down and noticed this shell with a rather garish yellow colouring sitting on top of the stones. The contrast of the grey of the stones with the yellow of the shell stood out.

I was tempted to put this through photoshop and isolate the shell and make the rest of the shot monochrome. However, the Boss gave me very strict instructions to upload this in colour.

So here it is.

Best Wishes

Martin and the Boss (Paula)

Paula Said

Upload this!!

Thanks as always for dropping by and, in advance, for any favouriting.

A couple of weeks ago Paula was out, I was in.

The Sun was out and casting the shadows of the blinds against the wall and this figureine.

I decided to take a few quick shots just to get a feel to see if it would be pursuing a more thoughtful composition on another day.

Paula saw this and said “I love it.Upload it, or else.!!!!”

Nuff said
