Ritva’s challenge this week is, as she presented it, “story-driven”. Her post is inspirational, inviting us to pause and observe, to either capture moments when you savour the beauty and stillness of your surroundings or others doing it. These are moments where I stood still as not to disturb my surroundings, mesmerised by my luck […]| photographias

It’s been a couple of years since I took this photo and, although I remember roughly where it is it’s not enough to search for any kind of info. For what I can guess, it probably dates from the early 20th Century, maybe 1910’s, 1920’s at a push. The door itself is gorgeous but it […]| photographias

This week is all about fun and search, with Anne’s Scavenger Hunt! To make things a bit easier (or maybe not) Ann gives us a list of possible subjects and then, and this is the hard part, asks us to limit our picks to a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10. Here we […]| photographias

I haven’t really been a sporty person since leaving school where I was involved with hockey and athletics. With four children to bring up there was never really any time, nor money and my physical activity has been limited to gardening, household chores and walking. Not exactly sporty! Though I did once do line dancing. … Continue reading Sports, Fun and Games| TRAVEL WORDS

It's been over a month since our last photo challenge post. I was the problem this time. With family stuff going on for the 4th of July weekend, then Grad Girl's move, I really wasn't concentrating on my photography.

I’m not a huge fan of Halloween or any of the scary stuff that goes along with it. However, I do enjoy this time of year. I’m all about fall colors, apple cider, sweet treats, and crisp autumn air. With that said, I’m not totally adverse to a little eerie or spooky from time to […]| Live Laugh RV
I love color. Lots of color. The more color, the better, and that can often be reflected in my photography. In my opinion, there’s no such thing as too much color, but every now and then, I find myself drawn to Black & White photography.
