Portrait Workshop

Our photographic club held a portrait workshop with Robert McTague

which was great fun, we had 4 models.

We ended up under this railway bridge with a fantastic concrete wall.

I couldn't help myself taking some Impressionistic

Images when this model started spinning around!

This model was wearing the most fantast butterfly dress

The begining of our Europe Trip

Pat & John dropped us off at Grantham Station,
we said good by which was hard after spending a great time with them in Ireland & at Burghley Horse Trials.
So off we go up to London to pick up our Europe trip from the Hilton.

We got there OK & decided to take a walk to find somewhere to eat

Couldn't resist taking a photo of a big Red, with the lensbaby of course!!

& a bit of a play!
Then at the crack of dawn, after a terrible nights sleep(don't recomend the Hilton!)
We were off to Dover

Amsterdam our first stop

An abundance of young people & BIKES

a bit like us & sheep or is it cows now!!

This is a huge multi storey Bike Park!
We went on a canal cruise
a good way to see the city sights

A lot of the buildings lean forward, apparently built like it so that furniture can be lifted with a winch to the upper floors as the buildings are very narrow & furniture is unable to go up the stairs!

Buildings are narrow & not too straight!

Edward Charlesworth's Garden

We called in on Edward the other day, on our way back from our Rainbow trip.
It was drizzling which made the garden
very enticing as the colours of the lush green foliage made the flowers stand out so beautifully.
All these images are taken with the lensbaby, so if you think your eye sight is getting bad its me!!!

I just love this combination which sits in the outside porch.

Edward must be getting lots of beans now as it was a mass of flowers.

Edward tearing off to get the ladder will Rob was there they decided to get up on the roof & clear the creeper out of the gutter.

Their house is so pretty made in stone with dorma windows

In the middle of the yard there's a pond with ducks which our terrier's love to chase if given half a chance!

Edward up on the roof.

You must agree this is a beautiful garden

unfortunatly it's being sold so I may not have a chance to photograph it again what a shame.

Cooper

Just been looking through some of my folders, here are some
photos of Cooper & Grandad feeding the pigs.
