I've been going through my holiday photos and found a couple that speak to this week's WordPress weekly photo challenge theme of COMMUNITY. These pictures are of the tiny and very picturesque fishing village of Clovelly on the northern coast of Devon. Fishing is a very community-oriented activity -- the villagers go out in the … Continue reading Fishing community
I'm playing with the WordPress weekly photo challenge today. The theme is to show a photo of a light source. Since my name means light, how can I go past this theme? After a quick review of appropriate photos, I choose to share the following... I could just keep on going and going with this … Continue reading Let there be light

I took this in October 2010 on my basic Canon Sureshot (and I've … Continue reading Pattern: The gardens of Chateau Villandry
A while back I shared my obsession with spiral-bound notebooks. Today it's all about their partners in crime -- PENS. Look at them! Aren't they pretty? None of these are expensive (in pen terms), but they are a step above the average disposable ballpoint. I have this many because, like most writers, I reach for … Continue reading A writer’s weapon — from above

It's the chance to visit wondrous places that only exist in fiction, and I heartily wish I could go there for … Continue reading Culture, China travel photos and fantastical worlds
After spending today in the Dandenong Ranges near Melbourne, where all around is green, green, green, I've been inspired to participate in the current weekly photo challenge: Colour. We had a lovely time strolling through the verdant Australian bush -- past towering straight eucalyptus trees, vast sprays of tree ferns, flocks of squawking sulphur-crested cockatoos, crimson … Continue reading Study in Green (with lyrebirds)
