Managed to get some drawing out at Biddulph Grange with friends last week. Did a bit to the greenery at home but mostly completed sitting out. It was quite a busy day and quite narrow paths so not easy to find somehwere to sit. I enoyed doing the rocks and the...

52Frames Pattern Week 26
The challenge from 52Frames this week is Pattern with an extra challenge of Pattern in Nature. I liked this as a challenge and had thought I might use photos of some stones I had found on the beach in Orkney. When I came to look at them though I felt they would...
52Frames What Is It? Week 25
This week's challenge is What Is It? At first I was truly uninspired and then I had a thought and completed my image all in one go this afternoon. It went really quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed it, which is great as I spent the first half of the week having no...
52Frames Shoot From Above Week 24
The challenge for 52Frames this week is Shoot from Above (https://52frames.com). I have been doing quite a lot of online jigsaws recently and really enjoy the aerial landscapes. I thought I would look for something on line. It is the first time I have used...

52Frames Reflections! Week 9
This weeks 52Frames challenge (https://52frames.com/) is Reflections! I really like this subject and I had a few photos options to choose from. I decided to use one I took at The National Botanic Gardens of Wales some years ago. It has been in a folder called...
52Frames Depth of Field Week 6
This week's challenge for 52Frames ( https://52frames.com/) is Depth of Field. I feel this is more of a photographic technique than an art one. I decided to do the equivalent of a macro; a real close up of something. I looked around and found two things I...
