See it Sunday - Oldtimer

The Swanage Railway runs through southern Dorset using old diesels and steam engines. This photo s taken at Corfe, of castle fame. I'm old enough to have travelled by steam when I was young and it was the main form of locomotion. I guess that means I could have posted a self-portrait and still been on theme!

Weekend in Black and White

Brentford has a thriving boat community, both on the Grand Union Canal and the River Thames. Whilst the narrow boats tend to have the canal, the Thames and the tributaries are dominated by Dutch barges. There is even a hull maker nearby. Not an industry you would expect to see in a London suburb.

Macro Flower Saturday : Pink Saturday

Hydrangea - I think. Although possibly mis-spelt.

Motorbike video game at Weston-Super-Mare Pier. And you're as unlikely to get me on one of those are you are on a real one!

Blue Monday - Flowers at Bodnant

This was taken at Bodnant Castle Gardens in North Wales. I'm not a great one for visiting gardens. Probably comes from not having a garden for all my adult life but the one thing I do like is taking photos of flowers. I've probably looked at more flowers in the last few years from a photography point of view than I have in all my previous years.

MYM - The Happy Tree

This tree is on the estate where I live. I pass it every day and when the sun is on it it shines bright yellow. (Much better than my photo can capture). And it's added to by the bush underneath. Whenever I see it, no matter how bad the day, it cheers me up.

Not the perfect photo, but does capture the fun of the fair. Originally taken at The London Hyde Park Winter Wonderland.

Macro Flowers - A Rose By Any Other Name

As it's my first entry on Macro Flowers I thought I'd start with one I could identify. It's a rose! And that just about exhausts my horticultural knowledge. :)

as always with all things horticultural, I have no idea what this is, except yellow.

Blue Monday

This is a neon display for a games machine on the pier at Weston-Super-Mare. It's a sort of a pinball machine but somehwat more up-to-date than I'm used to. Like most things I come across these days! :)
