WEATHERVANE.

I thought this lovely piece of architecture in Grove Park was worthy of a picture. Seldom does one see weathervanes these days. This one combined with the ornate tiles and woodwork just stands out.

CEANOTHUS.

This Ceanothus bush in Seagry Road was spotted by one of my followers and suggested it might be a good picture, she was right. This stunning bush looked fabulous in the morning sunlight. My thanks to her for the suggestion.

D-DAY .

A very important moment in history. The 6th June 1944, 69 years ago marked the beginning of the end of World War 11. I asked my friend Geoff, a veteran of that war to pose for this photograph with his medals. I just thought it fitting for today.

PROGRESSION ...

I posted a photograph of this cherry tree in blossom, now we are at the half way stage between blossom and fully developed cherries. Hope to bring you the final result.

FARMERS MARKET.

In full swing, the Farmers Market in Wanstead High Street is a welcome attraction once a month. Last weekend was a perfect day weather wise and brought the locals out in force.

ON THE DARK SIDE..

There's something about an alleyway. You are often unsure where it will lead but there is always an urge to explore and find out. I have followed them in many places around the world and invariably they lead to an interesting photograph. This particular one runs from Wanstead High Street to Woodbine Place, I don't think it has a name, it's only a short distance but I knew it had the potential for an interesting picture.

CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN ...

This little guy seems to have got himself into a bit of a predicament. Having taken an awful long time to climb the leaf of this plant he now finds that he has nowhere to go. Perhaps he just wanted a better view.

I have just posted the June Workshops on the 'WORKSHOP PAGE' please check them out.

THERE'S ALWAYS A NEW VIEW...

I was wandering around Christchurch Green the other day looking for a new angle of Evergreen Field when I came across this view of the spire of Christ Church. It's a view I have never seen before, the spire framed by the trees. Just goes to show there is always a new view of a familiar subject.

I couldn't resist photographing the field. It is such a beautiful piece of Wanstead, now unique to High Streets in the City.

JUST COULDN'T WALK BY..

I couldn't resist photographing this beautiful rhododendron in Leicester Road. Despite the rain and probably because we are experiencing so much of it, the Wanstead streets are alive with colour.

FOLLOW MY LEADER...

Having a look around Alexandra Lake on Wanstead Flats the other day I came across this charming family scene. These goslings following their mums across the lake heading for the shore. It was like seeing a group of well behaved school children on an outing, in line, teachers front and back, children looking around with interest and not wandering off.

They all made it safely and seeing that look of determination on the mother's face, who would have doubted it.

UNITED REFORMED CHURCH..

I have photographed this church before at night and it looked great lit up. As I was passing the other day it was bathed in sunlight, the sky was a perfect blue completing the picture. All I had to do was press the shutter button.

WOODBINE PLACE.

These little cottages nestling in Woodbine Place seem to have been here forever. I cannot find any history about them so if anyone can enlighten please let me know. They are really lovely and are so in keeping with The Green opposite.

GARDEN THEME 4

This viburnum bush (fast becoming a tree), overhanging a picket fence gives the feel of a country cottage garden. I wait for this bush every year to bloom and this year after all the rain it has excelled. The pom pom flowers are snow white and in abundance.

TRANQUILITY

I didn't get a chance to post a picture yesterday, so apologies for that, another busy day in the Gallery. Up and early this morning before anyone was about and I spotted this tranquil scene on the Aldersbrook Road. Really made me feel good to be alive.

THE CAT AND THE BANANA!

This is stretching the boundaries a bit both of Wanstead and reality. I was driving through Sidney Road off Wanstead Flats when I was confronted by this giant banana. I have heard of the cat and the canary but cat and banana is a whole new ball game. Although the cat's expression seems to be defying me taking a picture, I took it anyway. No standoff then.

HALSTEAD ROAD.

I took this picture of Halstead Road showing the natural curvature in the road and I really like the V shape that the cars make. Seeing it after on the Applemac I also realised that Wanstead is far from flat, there are a lot of little hills which add to the uniqueness and appeal of the area.

GARDEN THEME 3

On my way to the Gallery this morning I spotted this fabulous combination of colours in Leicester Road. The white of the Lilac tree really leapt out against the darker red of the Copper Beech tree. I framed the photograph so that each colour had half of the frame, what a lovely start to the day.

GARDEN THEME 2

A corner of a garden left to go wild. Brings back memories of a French garden that I photographed on a magazine assignment. Hopefully, it will encourage bees and butterflies sorely missed to come back and visit.

GARDEN THEME 1

Looking around Wanstead at the moment there is an abundance of colour. The gardens and trees have come alive. Seeing these dandelions I realised that they have three stages of beauty. The yellow flowers, the tell the time clocks and even the stalks have unique beauty of their own. Just had to catch this image on camera.
