Photography
My father always had a camera with him when we went on days out when I was a little girl. First a Box Brownie, and later a small Minolta.
I have always loved photography, too. I like to think I inherited my passion for this art form from my Pa.
I am never without the means to take a photograph. I have a small compact camera. a DSLR and of course, like most people today, a mobile phone.
I enjoy keeping a visual record of the world around me. I am particularly captivated by nature, flowers especially. That said, striking cityscapes & unusual architecture also catch my eye.
Here is just a very small example of my work. More can be see on :

In A Field Of WheatFound on one of my bimbles in my neighbourhood. | BeckoningThis was growing in a pot on the deck of a cafe I went to. It kept drawing my eye, beckoning me to capture its beauty, |
MagnoliaI took many photos of this particular flower. On a magnificent Magnolia Tree at NT Sheffield Park. | The Most Beautiful Of AllThis rose blooms in a small bed in a ginnel round the back of some cottages in my village. I look forward to it flowering every year. It never disappoints. |
TranquilityCaptured on a lockdown walk in 2020. I was walking down a steep lane. Something made me stop, turn round slightly and look over the hedge bank to my left. This is what I saw. | StooksSeen on the outskirts of my village at harvest time in the summer of 2019. The epitome of a rural summer landscape to me. |
IconicOn the summit of my most favourite mountain to ride up on my bike. The fabled, much revered, and much feared Mont Ventoux in Provence, France. Here at sunset. | AnglesThis wonderful staircase at the Lowry Museum in Manchester caught my eye. I stood and watched the light falling on it for a good while. Very clever and, to me at least, very pleasing design. |
Regent StreetI was walking down Regent Street in London one evening a few years ago, heard a noise and looked in this direction. A beautiful gate. | IndustrialI was in a restaurant in London and needed to visit the Ladies Room. This captured my attention as I walked up the stairs. |
Steel Spiral StaircaseIn the Art Museum in Berlin. Such a wonderful play of light and shadow on this steel staircase. |
