Oh my gosh.. I was completely transfixed as I wandered through your gorgeous imagery. (How I adore your part of the world)...And such lovely writing. What a beautiful start to my day.. thank you.
Thank you for your lovely words! I sometimes wonder if I use too many photographs but find it very difficult to edit them down. Substack starts wagging its finger at me when I exceed 10…
Another British Substack author spoke about visiting the valley of bluebells. She lives near the ocean (?). I pictured the two of you greeting one another. It is a nice thought. You would enjoy one another's company, I'm sure.
When we lived in Scotland there were entire open fields by the sea covered in bluebells. It was surprising at first, as they're known as woodland flowers. I did read once that if you ever hear the bluebells ringing then your time on earth is coming to an end.
Folk tales often have a slightly sinister edge to them, don't they?
Sounds like the perfect relaxing weekend. Wish we had some rain down south. A sprinkling last night but having to water new plants as it SO dry. Enforced rest for me...I had my covid jab and it always wipes me out!
The rain has made everything feel fresh again - and chilly! Just as I was about to put all my woollens onto a trunk...
I hope you feel better soon. A lingering sore throat has reminded me of the pleasures of tea with honey and lemon. Probably not that effective but I'm all for a placebo if it tastes nice!
I love that you take photos in dull weather, and that they look so lovely! My inclination is to put my camera away when the sun goes in, so I need to take your lead and try it in the grey (of which we have plenty!)
I think my preference has always been for 'moody' photographs, and bright sunshine tends to result in too much contrast. Overexposed and bleached out in some parts, harsh shadows in others.
My ISO setting is always at the lowest I can get away with. There are some photographers who produce glorious images in bright conditions, but I struggle (and often convert them to black and white, which can work wonders!)

Such lovely images - I love seeing the cow parsley beginning to appear again 🌿

Hope your ceramics sell well tomorrow. Xx
