Two minds with one thought

Rose coloured sky 1

I had a text message from my daughter who lives out of my area the other evening saying there was a lovely rose coloured sky.  I replied that there was here also  and I’d just taken some  photos.

Kingsbridge and Torcross

The weather forecast was for sun… Never trust weather forecasts in the Westcountry! Heading for Kingsbridge last week and planning to head down towards Hope Cove for some coastal images it became obvious that the day was not going to be as forecast. Looking at the head of the estuary at [...]

Some signs of Spring

While overall the countryside still looks rather faded and winter like a trip to Dartington Hall gardens yesterday showed that there are the start of signs of Spring.

 

In addition to the snowdrops (the scent was lovely) the shoots of a number of bulbs indicated that the next [...]

Varying Winter light

Out and about locally yesterday gave some differing and interesting light conditions. In the morning I was in Torbay wandering around on the coast.

The combination of the light and cloud over the Berry Head headland were very striking (and appealing). The light on a sea that was quite calm also [...]

Haitian emergency

No photos, not local, no apology.

Haiti in general and Port-au-Prince in particular have a major humanitarian crisis due the the earthquake yesterday.

There may be little we can do to help directly but there are organisations who are in a position to help if we can contribute even small amounts of money.  There [...]

From a trip heading north in the frost and snow

This posting pre-dates the previous two in practice but I had not had a chance to work on the images I took until now.  Just after the new year (but before the big snow) I drove up through the country (M5/M6).  The previous night had seen some of the lowest temperatures.  Close to Worcester [...]

More Dartmoor snow

Today with very low temperatures in the UK and in the Westcountry (-14 deg C locally on the news and -7 deg C at my house overnight) I was not sure how far on to the moors I would be able to get.  I had planned to go out with a friend however the [...]

Snow and ice, Totnes and Dartmoor

A couple of short walks today produced some nice pictures.  Looking over Totnes towards the south of the moors gave me this one.

Looking up the River Dart at Totnes showed how cold it was last night.  Bear in mind that the Dart is tidal and so salty at this point [...]

Winter light

This goes back to the start of the month but I’ve only just had time to deal with these ones.  They were taken crossing Dartmoor in later afternoon light.  I think I will let them speak for themselves.

They are a little noisy compared to some maybe but the [...]
