Photographs 2023

I was going to post this on the Gloomy thread but thought I'd start a new photograph thread so we can see how the year develops in pictures.

This was taken yesterday from Hungerford Bridge - it's not a great photo but shows St Paul's shining in the drizzly cold gloomy early evening.

I was well enough to get dressed and take a short walk today, so I took some photo’s. There’s a lane opposite my front gate that leads to this beautiful river meadow; it was my children’s walk to school when they were little.

Whereabouts in Cornwall are you Joseann?

Rock, across the estuary from Padstow, grannyactivist.

Ah- I thought it might be in that area. We occasionally holiday in Trevone, on the other side of the headland from Padstow.

If I didn’t like school I’d be keen to go for the walk alone.

Beechnut there were lots of ducks and ducklings to watch, squirrels to see, and an abundance of birds, bees, butterflies and ladybirds. Every morning we left home 15 minutes early to allow time to enjoy the walk. Since then a community orchard has been planted, so children now stop to pick plums and mulberries on their way to and from school and a family of otters can sometimes be spotted. We really are very fortunate - our allotment is just by the river and in the summer I can happily while away a few hours listening to birdsong with the sounds of the river as a backdrop.

I think that Spring has truly sprung! Two of these in the garden today, enjoying the warm weather like me.

We had a working holiday in Dartmouth early last month. The view from the window of our apartment was wonderful; the river to the front and the Britannia Naval College from the rear balcony.

Stunning views, I'd like to "work" from there grannyactivist, but not much work would get done!

Lots of lovely photos - yes Spring seems to have sprung!

Yesterday afternoon, after a wet and gloomy morning - a beautiful magnolia tree on Chelsea Embankment

Soft blue, green, pink in Devon yesterday. Worthy of a Monet painting.

A robin in my bird bath this afternoon (I didn’t even realise there was any water in it. He was having a good splash!

Lovely photo Greyduster - it brought a sudden memory to mind of watching birds in my grandad’s birdbath when I was a child.

A gloomy atmospheric Lake Geneva, taken from Montreux, last week. The plush looking lagoon is a public pool!

Nothing ever happens on our street 🤣🤣 A pic I took about 2 years ago when someone had escaped custody at the local court. Housemate came to tell me there were armed police on our little street, he'd opened the door to put rubbish in the outside bin only to be yelled at to 'SHUT THE DOOR AND STAY INSIDE'. Poor bloke nearly had heart failure!
Anyway, I couldn't resist when I looked out my window to see them standing next to this sign on an old warehouse! 🤣🤣
The escapee was not on our street, but was recaptured elsewhere.
