Sometimes it can be hard to see but if you look "love is all around".

Natural accident and nature being nature.

My village. Yarn on a Postbox (nothing to do with me - whoever does it changes it throughout the year).

Ever fresh or Never fresh?

One persons litter is another's easy photography trick using a heart, word play and the rule of 1/3rds.

Is it arrogant to say if Monet had decided to paint from inside a bin he might have painted something like this?

Pretty sure this is a "pretty unique" thought process & it gives me the chance to tag #art

"Blowing in the Wind", Bob Dylan

Took this years ago...

Nature created amazing light & a wind tunnel of just the strength to render fans that puff wind redundant.

An attractive young lady stands in a doorway. She is clad in a leather jacket. The setting sun is perfectly lighting her face and the breeze is blowing her hair which flows as if bathed in gold. She has a slight smike on her face. The smile of quiet confidence, not arrogance. Her eyes sparkle. She is leaning against an old brick wall in an alleyway. The picture has a timeless feel. It was taken in the small market town of Wisbech.

Straw Bale Sculpture in the Cambridgeshire Fens

Used to promote Back British Farming and the local Young Farmers Union.

Personally, I think it`s the perfect location to go, "natural in nature".

Day off

"Always Discrete"

My small audience might find interest in the photos and the Alt text.

Black and White situations are often grey.

Discarded litter Loveheart sweets. And an Always Discrete pamphlet that was next to women' sanitary items. Turning litter into love. Loveheart sweet that were litter provide foreground interest with an out 9f focus Nene and splendid Georgian frontage in the background. A positive view of Wisbech. Taken a couple of weeks ago. A view through a bin of Octavia Hill Museum. Today, this bin was full to overflowing. So no similar photo. Rubbish was all over the nearby paved area, road and bridge into town. It is easy to jump to conclusions and play the blame game. I suspect the causes are not as straightforward as they seem.

"Have you Bin good?"

I've Bin thinking. Recycling thoughts. Total garbage? Maybe.

But I thought, "Busty Bertha, don't waste those ideas."

Let's help each other be better.

Wisbech Castle - now a magnificent Regency building. Taken from inside a bin. There is a beautiful floral display. One of many prepared by the Volunteer group Wisbech in Bloom. Volunteers from Elm, Friday Bridfe and Coldham Street Pride have collected litter from public areas by volunteers in. The volunteers have collected about 90 bags of rubbish in these three villages in about 3 months and have also worked with the Council to remove and look at ways of reducing fly tipping. To supplement this volunteers have gone into the two local Primary Schools talking about the work Street Pride do and the impact of littering. Looking to inspire the next generation who will inherit our world. A single pink sweet shaped like a love heart sits in the road. One persons litter another's artistic photo. A discarded empty can of coke has been placed on a Litter Bin that was maybe 10 metres away from where it had been left. The can says, "My Soul mate" and the words "recycle me" are clear and obvious. One person's discarded rubbish is potentially another person's absolute treasure.

Might interest some.

Talk of bins. An idea that I will "reuse".

Love is all around. You just have to look for it.

A single orange loveheart, litter, sits next to an old rusty drain. A single orange loveheart has been recycled on a blue door spreading love. The letterbox is old, battered, golden and beautiful.

Fabulous local walk. The arid conditions meant me and a friend could explore of flood plain that is normally inaccessible.

Fascinating. Teeming with nature.

Ud never guess These were taken in Norfolk.
