Lady Blantyre

Another view of my "wooden portrait" at St Ives, Bingley.

portrait

Of a statue carved from wood at St Ives, Bingley.

I submitted this for a photographic competition with the theme of "portraits". Perhaps it was too "wooden"!

coot

Well ...

... I think it is.

Me and birds ...

... sigh!

Goose

At St Ives, Bingley.

bark

blue duck

Well, okay, the duck wasn't blue - but the water ...

I love the saturated colours in this shot. There has been no tweaking in Photoshop. The light was just so good that day.

At St Ives, Bingley, West Yorkshire.

I like the way the shaft of light across the picture adds interest to the sculpture against the dark background.

rocks and snow on Ilkley Moor

Weas this only last weekend?

The snow has now long gone and we have rain and drizzle.

more snowballing

snowball fight

Looks almost even here ...?!

snowball fighting

I'm interrupting the recent Yorkshire Sculpture Park photos with a few of Tom and Ellie snowball fighting. We had a bit of snow over the weekend and had to make the most of it. This is near the "Cow and Calf" rocks on Ilkley Moor.

If I don't publish them soon it will be summer and they will seem stupid!

This first one is of Ellie (just back from her round the world adventures - see her website) snowball fighting with Tom (back from hospital for the weekend).

More tomorrow of most where Tom got Ellie!!!!!

I don't know! Men!!!!!!

plantpot

But the plantpots in the greenhouse were exhibits!

I don't think it was an exhibit ...

table and chair

... at Yorkshire Sculpture Park cafe. Close to the motorway and much nicer and better value than service station grub.
