Now heres a lovely thing to wake  up to…Hmmm.. just looking back at the last couple of days pictures, spiders, dark evening light, backlit silhouette on the river,  all a little dramatic and dark,  then yesterday the rain started to finish it all off. But then the sun broke through, briefly,  and these beautiful roses were delivered at the same moment….the timing couldn’t have been better..

Spiders

Arachnophobia…there seems to be a plentiful supply of spiders in our garden at the moment, this little guy has managed to spin his web between the garden office and a garden chair, no mean feat when you consider the distance involved. How do they do it? I just can’t get my head around how the manage, do they start at point A and then dangle in mid air and lower themselves on their web to point B, what happens then? All that effort however is well worth it, if you can spot a web in the early morning, backlit and covered in dew it’s a beautiful sight. But if you done like spiders watch out there seem to be a lot out there.

Sky at night, actually dusk

So there it was,  I’d run out of potatoes,  that’s just short of a national emergency in my kitchen. Anyway en route to salvage the situation as I turned a corner thIs beautiful sky revealed itself. There’s something special about living in east London for some reason we occasionally get these special skies over the A406 the North Circular. 

So there’s two lessons learned, one don’t run out of potatoes and two always have a camera handy.

Just to put your mind at rest the potatoes, baked,  turned out to be a great success.

Night n’ day…

 Waldringfield, Suffolk.. I’ve mentioned in a previous post ‘a perfect Sunday morning’ sunshine, blues skies etc. But when the sun is reflecting on the river Deben change the picture to black and white and it introduces some drama as well. 

A day off from the gallery, a drive in the country, a perfect Sunday morning…peace and quiet in Suffolk. Just wandering along the banks of the river Deben, blue sky, birdsong and  just finished a full english breakfast., what more is there in life….

Time flies..

Time flies as they say...
I originally started this blog as part of the 'daily photo' group, now time has flown by and other projects, other social media has taken over. Ten years later when curiosity urged me to look back at my work I was amazed to find almost a million people had stopped for a look at the site, 
So now I intend to bring it back to life, in a slightly different format, not daily anymore but with  regular posts not just about Wanstead but further afield and with a variety of my photographs...
As you can see from the photograph above I haven’t aged at all 😂, many thanks to Sharon Bonner for making me look decent in front of one of my favourite pictures in our gallery of a curious Spitalfields cat. 

I hope you continue to enjoy the site.
