Walking through Mercer Park today, taking in the beautiful colours of the season and remembering my grandma, who would have been 99 today.

What lovely shots Dawn! I am a real fan of trees so really appreciate these. Great lighting colour and composition -wish I had taken them!

Yes, they are really beautiful......it almost looks too pretty to be Clayton.....and I don'tmean that to sound derogatory.
When we live in a place, I think we become a little bit blind to the beauty of it.
Thank you for helping me see the wood through the trees :)

Nice collection there, with good use of the low sun.

Thank you kindly for the lovely comments, much appreciated and very encouraging. I too am a fan of trees and am so fortunate to live with the woodlands right on my doorstep so I can view and appreciate their splendor every time I walk out the door.

Thank you Margaret, and I am so happy that they have been inspirational for you. I agree, one does become a bit complacent with the beauty that surrounds us and this is why I try, through my photography, to remind people of what we have in front of us. Clayton is a beautiful place with so much splendor on offer. I love it here.

Thanks Dave for the kind comments, the sun was definitely in my favour yesterday. It was a brilliant day for photography, and today isn't too bad either, so I am off out again with my camera. Hope to get some more pics today.

All comments are most welcome and much appreciated.

This is a great thread and I love popping in here to see other folks photos.

Thanks

Dawn :)

Hello everyone yes I'm back from my travels safe and sound if a little exhausted. Got about 1000 pics to sort through so will bore you with ten a day for a while! This first batch are before we got going on the ship, we stopped overnight in Woodstock near Oxford on our way to Dover and I took a few snaps of Blenheim Palace which is there.

More tomorrow...

  1. Imposing gatepost at Blenheim Palace
  2. It was a very misty morning - shame about the ticket box on the main drive
  3. The building from the other side, with autumn colours
  4. Startled lion in the courtyard
  5. More autumn colour on a building in Woodstock
  6. First sight of the ship at Dover
  7. Loading supplies for the voyage
  8. The last of England - with Dover Castle on the hill
  9. No it's not Monet but a sunrise over the Bay of Biscay through a wet porthole
  10. Rain in the distance and the wash from the ship

Nice start, it will take you 100 days to post all the pictures, so put a flask up and some sandwiches, its going to take a while.

Errr... don't think you're going to get em all, everyone would be pretty bored if I did - you've already had the first fifty odd!

Thanks for the welcome back Frank, good to be back.

Hope you had a great time on your travels.
