This photo was taken at St Jame’s Park in London. The mother Swan and her sygnet’s looked very serene gliding and preening through the calm, sunlit water…

I realised, when going to bed last night that I hadn’t included my Wish Angel in my first entry for the photo challenge! Mon Dieu… I hear you say!
My Wish Angel was a Christmas present from my Mum… she sits on my bedside table (my wish angel, not my mum!) and is the first thing I see in the morning (other than the alarm clock!) and the last thing I see at night (other than setting the alarm clock!) she makes me stop for a moment and remember to embrace the ebb and flow of everyday life but also makes me realise that there is more to life than setting alarm clocks are many possibilities to come, many directions my life can take… she makes me excited and calm about the future, she makes me smile!
My Wish for you, is that you embrace every ebb and flow…
That you feel the full breath of possibility…
That you listen to what is calling you…

For this week’s photo challenge I’m posting some photos taken recently in London’s Piccadilly Circus with a silhouette of the famous Eros statue in one of them. A couple were taken at the Warner Bros Studio Tour, The Making of Harry Potter, which I totally recommend to any Harry Potter fans out there… it was awesome! Some taken locally and of course you’ve gotta have candles!
So without much further ado… Let There Be Light!

This weeks photo challenge is the golden hour… that time of day when the sun is rising to herald new possibilities, when the air is fresh and the world is quiet… when you can breathe deeply, ready for whatever challenges or adventures come your way… or when the sun is setting, the air is warm but there’s a lovely welcome, gentle breeze and you close your eyes and exhale… reflecting on the day as it closes its sleepy eyes.

Nature and animals are what inspire me most. Being among nature and around animals always makes me feel calm, happy and peaceful… literally makes me feel alive, the only time I really breathe deeply. I’ve always wondered what the world looks like through animals eyes so that’s why I’ve chosen these for this weeks photo challenge…

I couldn’t not include Mutley’s beautiful eyes… she looks dopey because she’s just been rudely awoken by my camera! Sorry Mutley! 🙂

I love plants but I’m useless at keeping them alive! My daughter bought me an amazing Orchid which I have affectionately (and in the interest of positivity) called ‘Possibility’ 🙂 I thought I would take some photographs of Possibilities amazing blooms because they are ‘fleeting’ and if my luck hasn’t changed, I may never see them again!
So beautiful… at least if Possibility never blooms again (and I so hope she does) I will have captured them forever here.
There’s a buzz in the air…!

Every year when I see the first Bee of Spring I get really excited… Summer’s on the way! After, what seems like the longest Winter ever, I was more happy than ever to see this wonderful busy Bee collecting pollen from the blossom…

The sun peeping through the clouds is one of those moments that makes you breathe deeply and smile…
- … no matter how rubbish you might have been feeling!
- … and all is right with the world.
- Rushing water over bolders
- From small acorns…
- River Dart
- Red berries!
- Taking it easy for a moment
- Dartmeet, where East & West of the river meet!
- So green and shiny they look almost fake!
