Shadows in the Winter sunshine

Word for the year?

SORT

Doing that...

Roadkill for October (and September...)

 Petals fall

 Buses swish

and shadows play..
Still sunny..

More Pictures from a (Cinema) Exhibition

 There's more to this than just the exhibits.. Sometimes the impression they make on the surroundings is subtle

 Or possibly sinister

 And can be very Soft

And here's the walled garden.. Very nice...

Hello there

Spring, which seems to have sprung with a light and summery step, has dragged me, not unwillingly, into the garden.. So, too busy to post.. However, here are some things to keep you amused

 Roadkill - see if you can guess..

 Snail flag

And a trolley shadow..

Thursday Night

 Another of my Accidental Faces Series - and yes, it's upside down. Interesting how the brain is attuned to the basic face idea

And this one is From The Wall, and Shadows, and Blue

Shadows and sunlight

 On the back of a quilt hanging in the workshop, the kite tail makes its mark in daylight

 

And in the Tesco car-park, this willow is gently turning to yellow as the Autumn slides in

On the other hand, this minor slip-of-the-Photoshop makes for a more exacting colour-change
Control-Alt-I for the curious..

 

Veldhoven Part 1

 Well, so far, so splendid.. Last night's Travelodge was hidden down a back lane marked "No Entry" and was fusty, but cheap.. Here I am at the NH Konigshof which is one of the better places I have stayed in my travels.. I have had a small sleep, a swim, and supper, and I'm happy.. My quilts are being hung by tall pretty Dutch ladies, and I have a bookbinding class tomorrow..
The grounds are delightful, wooded and not at all formal.. Blackbird above was exploring next to my car and not offended by the camera.

 Lily Of The Valley springs up and post wears down

















The journey down was marked by the most astounding trees, all misty and multi-coloured with new Spring growth.. Unfortunately, Belgian and Dutch motorways have very few stopping-places in the woods, so no pictures.

 The corridors have already some quilts hanging.. This is
Dochters Van Het Licht by Ellen Siemer

 And this is Rit Mein Blues by the same artist.  The wonderful intensity of the colour is hard to capture, and the hand-stitching is fabulous, see details below

 Finally, a Shadow on the floor in a deserted corridor.. So nice to see the sunlight..

More tomorrow and all through the Show

Shadows fall...

on yellow walls...

Basket of Shadows

The sun came out, and went in again.. Print these and make your own flip-book...

And more yet..

One sunny Autumn evening this week, in my house

Palm on Landing

 Sculpture (we bought this for this house before we had ever been inside) in the downstairs hallway

 Same again

And this is "Fat Man Washes His Hair" which hangs above the fireplace in my bedroom..
So; shadows and a Grand Tour..
