The giant electrical plug

Monday, March 4th, 2013

This is one helluva plug. I didn’t have time to look around the corner to see what it was connected to. Probably a giant vacuum cleaner or huge electric fire. It should be possible to find out but perhaps I’ll leave it to you to go and see. Let me know won’t you? 🙂

The frosted trees of Welwyn

Saturday, February 16th, 2013

The rich folk of the gardens of Welwyn

Think much of their festive frost

And the trees in the parks that surround them

Are painted white and to hell with the  cost

still life

Sunday, February 3rd, 2013

You need to click on the image to fully appreciate this scene.  Whilst this post is entitled “Still Life” in actual fact it represents a snapshot in time. The beer was quickly consumed whilst the plant remains in all its plastic glory.

The picture was taken at the Tower Hotel in Lincoln during the England v Scotland rugby. Useful historical association 🙂

Morning sun streams in through the slats

Saturday, January 26th, 2013

It’s snowed overnight but the day is now warming up and the sunlight streaming in through the kitchen window can be quite dazzling. Outside the snow is already starting to melt and we hear loud drips on the conservatory roof as meltwater drops off the sycamore tree above.

The pavements are still dangerous to walk on although not too bad if you walk on the fresh snow to the side. We are entering the dirty period of winter. The ugly brown payback for the beautiful pristine whiteness that we have recently enjoyed.

Two swans flying over a snowy field

Friday, January 25th, 2013

Today I saw two swans flying over a white snow-covered field. I didn’t get a picture as I was on a train and they would in any case have been tiny white dots in the shot. However it isn’t difficult for you to imagine the scene and mentally appreciate the art of it.  A few dark hedgerows and trees criss-cross the vision but mostly it is gleaming white and the magnificent pair of birds are an interesting dynamic – the only moving part of the picture..
