I often go for a walk – not just to keep my body fit and healthy, but it’s a good way to clear my mind and to enjoy my home surroundings. By November of 2019, the town Christmas tree was up. The sunset was beautiful (as it always is) and, in December, I took a …
As a photographer, I’m always looking for the ‘not so obvious’ subjects and Park Guell had lots – I just had to keep my eyes open! Park Guell ceramic medallions on the front of the Porters Lodge . The ceramic tiles of the wall on either side of the Dragon Stairway. The ceiling decor of …
For April, I thought I would share two of my ‘photos of the day’ from morrisophotography. I love taking photos of animals in all their shapes and forms, but photographing smaller creatures has its challenges. For once, these beauties stayed long enough for me to capture them. The Changing Seasons is hosted by Ju-Lyn at …
If you are a fan of Gaudi, or not, you should visit Park Guell if you go to Barcelona. It (probably) won’t be like anything you’ve seen before. A collaboration between entrepreneur, Eusebi Guell, and architect, Antoni Gaudi, saw the creation of Park Guell in 1900. Gaudi wanted Park Guell to be a private estate …
Barcelona is a fabulous city to explore. While you might be drawn to the more famous attractions – think Gaudi and La Rambla – there are plenty of other things to see. But, keep your eyes peeled, if you’re not necessarily seeking other things out, you might miss them – and that would be a …
As you enter Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic), you may wonder whether you will be able to find your way out. There are many narrow alleyways twisting this way and that, the only thing to do is just wander! As you walk, make sure you look all around you and upwards in case you miss …
As you explore the wonderful city of Barcelona, no doubt you will have heard of Parc de la Ciutadella or Citadel Park. If not, you are sure to stumble across it as you wander. As I was en route back to my hotel after a long day sightseeing, I only skirted the outskirts of this …
For March, I thought I would share a couple “photos of the day” from morrisophotography. Back in 2020, when I used to work as an events coordinator, I was greeted every day by this handsome fellow. The lovely All Saints Church on Church Lane, Little Billing has a Saxon front and built around 1100 – …
A wildlife offering from one of my walks in February. It’s always such a joy when you come across wildlife, and so close to home too! Peace and love 🙂 The Changing Seasons is hosted by Ju-Lyn at Touring my Backyard, and Brian and Bushboy’s World About The Changing Seasons The Changing Seasons is a …
I headed off to Barcelona just in time! It was February 2020 and there was talk of a virus. I wasn’t sure whether I should cancel but, in the end, I decided to go – and I was happy I did! I (we) didn’t know then, that travelling would be banned in the coming months! …
We all have plans in life – whether that’s going on holiday, buying a car or a house, going abroad to live or buying the latest fashion – but most of the things we wish for cost money! Wouldn’t it be nice if we all had a money tree which provided us with the funds …
My best photographs of the waterways in Bruges. I can’t resist walking along canal banks to experience a different side to a city 🙂 Away from the crowds, I found being near the canals really calming – maybe that’s why I always end up near water!
