enlarging the photos enhances the textures. oh, the exercises we art students were put through! but it's all about the 'seeing,' isn't it? You've still got an eye.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Love the top one - it looks like sleepy cranes that have been snowed on!
ReplyDeleteObviously, you've still got what it takes!
ReplyDeleteI like the logs...reminded me of dads woodpile. We lost all our snow yesterday and today....we're in a bleeding blizzard.
ReplyDeletelovely photos Cro. Snow is on it's way here again. Thank goodness the past couple days of rain had washed the last lot away.
ReplyDeleteSome of the things we learned as students are well worth doing again. Great pics! I especially like the first one.
ReplyDeleteenlarging the photos enhances the textures. oh, the exercises we art students were put through! but it's all about the 'seeing,' isn't it? You've still got an eye.
ReplyDeleteI am still a student. I like the second one. Is that a cedar tree?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. As usual, I pinched a small branch, stuck it in the ground, and it grew into that!
DeleteNeat!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Most of our snow has melted, as we've been having torrents of rain. More snow on the way soon.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous...I've been enjoying it in my neck of the woods...not wretched at all in my little book...
