I recently visited Canonteign Falls in Devon. Beautiful place with a playground area for kids too. This is a photo from the base of the waterfall. Sadly I didn’t have the energy to walk to the top but I suspect there are magnificent views. This inspired me to do a waterfall pinterest board with a …
My theme today is of an equine nature and thought these were good for a Friday chuckle! Some amusing horse photos from Katseyephotos blog. Project 52 – Week 16: “Bloopers”.
This week I’ve moved on from dogs to birds. If you read my post last year on seagulls you’ll know how they have annoyed me! Well it seems they are eyeing up my chimney breast and I am determined that they will not nest there again this year. Obviously I don’t want to harm the …
I wanted to write a blog today as I have some special offers in my shop but I’ve had little inspiration on what to write. I’m sure other people have the same problem, so this will be a short post! My offers are because it’s my birthday this week 🙂 and by Friday I may …
With the strange weather we’ve had I’m only now able to tell if my sunflowers will be monster ones again. I can report that 2 of the surviving ones will definitely have multiple flowers but the plants are no way near as big as last years at the moment. The flowers are not even out …
It is blissfully quiet at my house today and I just realised why. The baby seagull has stopped squawking and is learning to fly – yipee! It is obviously so pleased with itself that it no longer needs to be twittering for it’s mum. I managed to get a photograph of one of its mini …
First an update on the baby seagull. Still squawking and falling over and making mess! It’s not just humans he/shes disturbing either but my poor 16yr old cat, who normally likes to sit in the conservatory but is being unsettled by the seagull plodding along the roof. Anyway this got me thinking about nature in …
Today I thought I’d share the view from my art room. My desk, where I paint from, is facing the window and although it’s not the most wonderful view I love my little garden and seeing the sky. The last 2 jobs I had as an employee were both based in rooms with very little …
We all have ‘down’ weeks sometimes and certainly not helped by endless grey rainy days in so-called summer! In light of this I decided to think about what is good about rain, to cheer us all up with positive thinking. 1. I’ll start with the obvious – It fills the reservoirs so we have plenty …
So much for flaming June. I went to Exmouth beach today, a slight detour from delivering a dog portrait, well any excuse! The beach was deserted, the wind blowing a gale, forboding clouds and I’ve seen it busier in winter. I think everyone was hibernating after getting soaked yesterday. On the plus side the water …
