Moments - but not a stitch in sight...


This little this figure that E bought for me mirrors my own state of mind of late... She - like I -seem to be looking - either forward to the future or is it  back to the past - I'm not sure which... Christmas time - over the last few years - seems to bring this reflective side of myself to the fore... One could ponder on why - but like for many of us 2011 has not been without its challenges... I am hoping - again like many of us that 2012 will be kinder... But something tells me - as always - it will be as it will be...

I have been looking at shapes lately and of course it is also an excuse to try and the camera part of my new phone...

Of course we all  recognise the Hills Hoist (rotary clothes line for overseas readers) How many tons of clothes have been hung over its lines over the years... I really liked this shot of the centre of its strength silhouetted against  the fading daylight...


This is part of the ceiling I walk under every morning on the way to the shop where I work... It too has a beauty all of its own... I like its strength but also its fragility... It reminds me a little of an insect's wing - strong enough to hold and carry - but also delicate and fragile...



Theses are simply flowers from my garden - beautiful in the own right...

These ones where almost too dazzling to photograph - their colours seem to 'vibrate' and 'dance' before me as I photographed them..

And lastly, the remnants of the evening sun 'catching' on the leaves as it sets..

Until later, take care...

Beautiful photos! If you are that good with a phone/camera, just think of the sensational results you would get with a top of the range Digital/SLR! Perhaps P should have bought you one of those instead of the pencils for Christmas...Nah. just make the most of those Derwents!

The photos are amazing. I always get a feeling of melancholy leading up to Christmas. I lost my Mum three years ago and I miss her terribly all the time, but more so during significant times of the years.
