Catkins, March 2025
A lovely theme for Y, thanks Sheena!
The name "catkins" comes from a Dutch word for "kitten," because of their resemblance to a cat's tail. This takes me back to a mild Spring season.

A black and white photograph in portrait format. It shows some slender branches against the sky with fluffy catkins, or seed heads, providing seed for the coming year. That's such a positive thought.

Sunlight slices through a misty valley to ignite a stand of vivid green trees on a dark hillside, their glowing leaves contrasting with the surrounding shadows and layered mountain slopes.

Frensham Common is a large protected heathland. In my photo are tall conifers next to a sandy path near Frensham Little Pond.The sun is casting shadows on the path. The sky is blue with a lot of interesting cloud formations. In the distance are the Surrey Hills which appear blue.

Last one for this week and it’s one of my fave pics ever - even if it is blurry 😂 #STUNday
Looking up a wet, wintery pedestrian street at night. Closed shops on both sides. Blurred and shadowy people dotted around. Christmas lights above say “Nollaig Shona Duit”

“When it's Spring again I'll bring again
Tulips from Amsterdam”
1958 pop hit.

I bought tulips for the house to cheer us up. A warm reminder of Spring. (Yes, they are from Holland but I’m not sure if they came via Amsterdam.)
A glass vase of green-leaved yellow tulips sits on the top of a pine kitchen cupboard next to framed photographs and a green ceramic vase. The pictures on the right are of our late smooth fox terrier Patsy and the wall art features various campervans we have owned.

The magnificent Jesse Window in the village church at Llanrhaeadr, near #Denbigh. It's thought to date from the early 16th century and may have been lifted from Basingwerk Abbey in #Flintshire at the time of its Dissolution. The most complete #medieval window in North #Wales.

The Holy Veil

For the Sherpa people, Thamserku is sacred - a mountain where reverence matters more than conquest.

#stunday #eastcoastkin #photography #nature #classicmono #monochrome #blackandwhite #b&W #art #clouds #mountains #hiking #sunday #bluesky #landscapephotography #scape #outdoors #nepal
A black and white portrait of Thamserku (21,729 feet) ascending from a sea of clouds like an ancient citadel, its angular peaks and scarred glacial faces shaped by centuries of wind, standing tall as a silent, spiritual sentinel of the Khumbu Valley.

I really dislike knitting cardigans. So much prefer knitting in the round and absolutely hate steeking. Yet, I've made a few. Like this sheep cardi combining cables and stranded colourwork. Handspun wool. Even made the buttons myself.

I’m off out for the day soon so won’t get any knitting done at all 😱
I wish I could get a decent photo of my WIP to show you the colour of this yarn as it’s so beautiful

Arcade, Chester 2025
Hello Alphabetters! The Grosvenor St Michael's Row Arcade always has very polished Christmas decorations! This year is no exception! It was lovely!

A colour photograph in portrait format. It shows the interior of a lovely arcade built in 1924. The decorations are beautifully coordinated with the glass roof, white ironwork and pink marble. This view shows the central section leading out onto the medieval Rows. A colour photograph in portrait format. It shows the interior of a lovely arcade built in 1924.

Ladybird Artists Advent Calendar, window 14
‘Ponies in the Snow’
Artist: CF Tunnicliffe
In a wooded lane filled with heavy snow, a group of sturdy ponies wait stoically by a gate. The snow-traced branches make an arch over their heads.

Fog, sunrise,
windmill + bird. A few other favorite things of mine.
#BlueSkyArtShow #FavoriteThings
Foggy sunrise. Half of a yellow, red rising sun hiding behind a windmill on the right. Some red coloring piercing through the fog. Bird resting on a horizontal wing of the windmill. Water and vague silhouettes of reeds in the foreground.
