I am always drawn to the courtyard behind the King’s Room at Godolphin with the the fragile doors full of rusty nails, scarred wood and arched tops and where the light streams through the unglazed mullion windows. All photos were taken in colour at the Godolphin Gardens at the end of January with my Olympus…

Cornish Messages
Messages are the subject for the Lens Artists challenge this week. Whether in nature, street signs, graffiti, shop signs or a message conveyed through an image, the choice is yours. I have sought out signs and images taken in Cornwall which seem to me to illustrate the Cornish way of life and sense of humour….
a winter beach walk
I have several lenses for my Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III camera, but it is rare that I take more than one with me when I go out. My favourite lens for flowers and gardens is my prime lens which is also good in low light situations or my macro lens, but on Tuesday I…
And now the year is over…
A look back at the sixth year of our life in Cornwall. Another year full of unexpected events and very little travelling, but still the beauty of this county continues to shine. So please come with me and take a look at 2022. In April I drove down to Surrey to see my daughter and…
LAPC #226 – Textures

A Garden in Motion

Before coming to rest on an attractive flower or leaf . And lest we forget – the bees. Doing what bees do best. Flitting from one flower to…
Three of the best
I haven’t joined in with this challenge for a while, but this week Sarah asks us to consider three photos that we judge to be successful. Of course how we judge our own images is very subjective and sometimes an image may be a favourite, but not necessarily one of our best. There are all…
Earth Story
It was a beautiful day for March. The sky was blue and cloudless. I was playing taxi driver for my OH who had a music gig to attend in the most westerly town in Cornwall, St Just in Penwith, so I reckoned it was time for me to visit Land’s End, the most westerly part…
finding my muse
Lens-Artist Photo Challenge #181 | Double Dipping It’s been an awfully long time since I visited my favourite beach – lockdowns, summer tourists, illness, tide times and weather conspired against me during 2021 – but on a relatively warm day of sun and cloud last week combining with a low tide, I finally got to…
