Bee in Burford” This is a quick post before we get on the bus to move hotels. These are pictures from Burford Church. “The High Altar” “The Cross on the Low Altar” This town once thrived as a center for the wool trade. Those who worked in the industry have headstones that are marked by the rounded wool bales on the top. The entire graveyard was covered with lavender and other flowers. It really was a peaceful place. The bees…
“Camera Progress” This is the Radcliffe Camera, which houses the Radcliffe Science Library at Oxford University. The building was constructed in the early 18th century and as you can see is currently undergoing renovations – progress. As a knitter, I particularly like the “yarn bombing” of the surrounding fence. We spent a lovely day in Oxford. It was a bit crowded and by the end of the day had gotten warm, but that did not spoil a great day in…
“Action, we wish!” We did arrive safely in England and today, our second day here, I feel like a human again. We sang the first service of our tour this evening, Evensong at Exeter Cathedral. Free wi-fi seemingly is not very popular in public places in England. Without an international data plan on my phone and iPad, my options for posting are limited. I did post, I thought, yesterday’s picture of the day from the hotel via my iPad last…
If you visit me here with any regularity, you know that I am fond of photographing Lego mini figures. I decided that on our trip to London, I would take “Bob B.” My plan is to photograph him throughout our travels. I wonder how many people I can get to have their picture taken with him? “Business Class?” Right now he is wondering based, on his current flight accommodations (in my camera bag) why, if this is business class,…
‘A Plan and A Plane” This is a very quick photo before we head out the door to the airport. Stay tuned for pictures from England over the next two weeks!
“Urban Art Texas Style” Nothing says Texas better than a big ol’ armadillo.
“Packing Shades of Blue” Sorry, I forgot to post this yesterday. Shades of blue should have been a no-brainer for me. Everything in my physical world is blue because blue makes me happy. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to give to this today. We are leaving Monday for two weeks in England and so were busy getting stuff gathered and packed. As I separated my clothes into the stacks of requisite concert black and the other…
“Frozen Family Fun” Today was one of those days when everyone was a willing participant in the daily photo. After a nice vegetarian dinner at home, prepared by Brooke, we headed to our local frozen yogurt shop for two scoops – each. Mine is the one in the front – cake batter and cappuccino yogurt topped with reese’s peanut butter cups and graham cracker crumbs. Yum!
“Eat, Drink and Be Happy” I am blessed that there are so many, many things in my life that not only make me happy but bring me great joy. Most of those things I photograph often. I decided today to head toward the silly rather than the serious side of things that bring me happiness. This is not to belittle the prompt but to attempt to document all the little quirky things that make me, me. For the most part,…
“S is for Strawberry” I waited way to late in the day for this one – after choir rehearsal and a few beers at a local night spot with choir members as we celebrated our last rehearsal before leaving on Monday for our two week tour in England.
