Will I find you in the light - #AbstractAug #faces #SelfPortait #AmbientLight #ShadowPlay #Poetry #Poem #Selfie #ArtisticPhotography #ArtisticPortrait #Poetry&Pictures #CreativeWriting
Self portrait of a brunette woman side profile facing to the left and compositionally placed in the left of the picture. The face is lit by ambient screen light and most of the face and head blend back into the shadows. I took this picture in 2007, a year after I lost my grandmother, on the first of her birthday's I lived without her. It was a remembrance picture and when I originally posted it on flickr I posted it with this poem: Will I find you in the light If I look will you see me? If I reach will you take my hand? If I turn away will you be broken? If I run will you find me? Written by Ruth Weal on 31 March 2007 Copyright 2007 Picture of the following poem: Will I find you in the light If I look will you see me? If I reach will you take my hand?

#Throwback to my early 30s attending the #Officer #Ball with a friend who worked with the military. I got to live out my #LadyInRed moment when I was half the woman I am today, with far fewer grey hairs 😜 #RedWed #ColourADay

#Portrait #BallGown #RedDress #DressingUp #DressToImpress #Photography
Picture of Wealie (aka me) in a red rouched off the shoulder floor length pillar box red ball gown and sequined gold shawl on a red carpet next to a Gold Lion statue. Picture was taken outside of the Bulford Camp Officers Mess when I attended the Officer's ball with a salsa dancing friend who worked with the Military and liked to invite some of the salsa dancers to go to the balls with him to cut up the dancefloor! This was taken nearly twenty years ago when I was a lot more slender, had a fair fewer grey hairs and was in my early thirties.

Taken early June 2022 this is the famous view of The Stourhead Stately Home Garden, that takes in the Palladian Bridge, the blue green Lake and Pantheon Temple amidst the beautiful and lush greenery of the landscape. Created by Sir Henry Hoare II one of the Gentleman Gardeners’ and added to by successive generations until the house and gardens were acquired by the National Trust, which allows visitors to walk the gardens and visit the house. Based just outside of Mere, near Warminster, Wiltshire in the South West of England this is a fabulous place to visit year round to explore the seasons. It has an impressive selection of Rhododendron and various species of trees along with some beautiful buildings all inspired by the Hoare family’s grand tours of Europe, Italy in particular.
