January I finally published my photographic book – A Book Of Photographic Images. A collection of my photos with matching quotes. I matched the photo with the quote. February I left one job for another. I was not happy, so I found myself working for Mencap. I was so relieved and was looking forward to it. …
The Knife Angel sculpture, made from over 100,000 seized blades, was specifically created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour whilst solidifying our critical need for social change. Not only does the Angel act as a catalyst for turning the tide on violent and aggressive behaviour, but it is also acts as a beautiful …
Last year, I took another walk around Sywell Country Park, but this time it was all about nature and finding the birds, insects, and flowers. It was June, so it was much greener than before and I could feel the warmth from the sun on my skin. The first feathered friend I saw was this …
A lovely place to walk around is Sywell Country Park near Northampton. The reservoir was built to supply water to the surrounding villages, but now it’s a country park with a gravel walkway around the lake, meadows, forest-like areas with different types of trees, and a variety of habitats for the wildlife that live there. …
The town centre of Northampton is small when you compare it to the likes of Birmingham and London, but it’s surprisingly full of things to see. I live close to the centre, so I always walk there and, with camera in hand, I find some things that I have never noticed, others that bring back …
Last week, I published ‘Another Day, Another Walk’ and this week I am publishing ‘Something old, something new.’ The same walk a few months apart and this time I walked further and took the long way back home. On my walks around the town, I may take the same or similar photos, but I always …
One of my favourite walks around Northampton takes just over an hour and circles around the town centre and along the River Nene. Leaving home, I walk south along the A508 until I get to St Peters Way. I leave the busy road and walk along the footpath that leads me towards the River Nene …
I love going out and about with my camera – I really need to do it more often! These photos are from one of my favourite places to walk around – Delapre Park. Can you tell I like trees? And reflections. And birds! LOL 😉 I hope you enjoyed the views!
I have lots of photos from places I have visited in the past and today I was reminded of this lovely pocket park known as Hunsbury Hill Park. According to the local government website, this park formed part of an Iron Age hill fort which I didn’t realise until I read it today! – You …
Last week, I took you on a walk around Delapre Park in the summer. Join me again and see how the area changes during the winter. I think it is beautiful whatever time of year! For more of an idea how the land changes throughout the year, take a look at my “Summer vs Winter” …
Delapre Abbey is a lovely place to visit if you are ever in Northampton. With a history spanning over 900 years, the abbey itself sure has an interesting story or two to tell. If you want to read more about this, go to Delapre Abbey‘s official website. The surrounding park is a popular place for …
I love experiencing nature up close. It’s not always easy to photograph birds and squirrels because they don’t sit still much, but I managed to capture these images of our furry and feathery friends as they busied themselves foraging, eating, chilling and preening!
