The cottage and the window sill, complete with an aray of interesting jars!

Lucky horse shoe and cows being moved from field to field through the farmyard.

Piglets and a photograph I accidentally took when chickens flew up at me! Nice to know my reaction and instinct is to take pictures rather than run but maybe should try lifting the camera next time!

Distractions

Sometimes when I go out taking photographs I get distracted by one particular aspect of the place, this time the light was particularly good for making defined shadows so here are a collection of my distractions!

Spring has Sprung

Fresh new leaves are appearing...

..Ferns are starting to unfurl and sunlight making a play of light and shade...

...The paraphernalia that helps things to grow is dusted down and out of shed once more...

...And I begin to spot weird things to photograph...

...Like gardening scarescrows, giant plug holes and bendy bamboo!

Clee St Margaret and Blists Hill

Finally Spring is here and I am able to get out in daylight hours to take some photographs, even managed to find a spot of sunshine.
