Weekly Photo Challenge: Ornate
Posted on November 7, 2015
‘Ornate’: made in an intricate shape or decorated with complex patterns.
This is a detail from a stained glass window in St. Mary’s Church in Beverley, Yorkshire that fits the bill for this week’s challenge. The glass itself is complex and decorative, and so is the intricately-shaped stone framework that holds it together.

This week’s Photo Challenge wants to know “Where do you go when you need to think? What do you do when you need to restore yourself, to ready yourself to take on the coming week with energy and verve? How do you get your sense of humor back? How do you recharge your groove?”
That’s an easy one for me. I just put in my noise-cancelling earphones and choose something from here. Or maybe from the 900 or so concert downloads that I’ve accumulated over the almost twenty five years since the bus came by and I got on.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Monochromatic

An owl stares straight down the camera, its attention attracted by the firing of the shutter.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Connected
Posted on September 7, 2015
What could be more appropriate for this week’s theme of ‘Connected’ than a wedding?
I’m very happy to say that I took this photograph last Saturday at my son’s wedding. Stealing the show between the bride and groom is their much-loved dog.
