Wild colour on Ealing Common this evening. More leftovers from wildflower planting in previous years. Not sure there was anything new this year.

Shapes and textures - more meandering in Gunnersbury Park last night.
1. There is a small ring of trees at one end of the wildflower meadow which I’ve always assumed to be Ash. As always, happy to be corrected! Love the bark textures.
2. Cut log seat details.

The wildflower meadow, Gunnersbury Park this evening. Think this is probably the original planting from a while back as it’s mainly daisies with occasional poppies and cornflowers. Still pretty though.

Learning new skills with @katiedebois. I think there are kayak shaped holes in most of the overhanging trees, but we laughed all the way. Not quite brave enough to take a camera out yet......but soon. 😊

Tales from the towpath - Oliver’s Ait. Winter and late summer views.
.
Oliver’s Ait is a small island on the River Thames, between Kew Rail and Kew Road Bridges at Strand-on-the-Green, owned by the Port of London Authority. Oliver Cromwell was supposed to have hidden here at one point during the English Civil War, apparently giving the island its name. It was also the site of a barge to collect tolls, controlled by the Corporation of the City of London, hence the name of the City Barge Pub opposite.

First year since around 2006 I’ve missed Chelsea Press Day. So for the Virtual Chelsea Show, some Vikings photos instead. Behind the scenes, 2014 at the Viking Cruises Norse Garden. 😊

A small project I've been working on for a while, and with the recent lockdown, I've had chance to put some more time in. I've made a new website with images I've been taking over several years - essentially of the River Thames and West London waterways. And also the Spanish Coastline in the Province of Cádiz. Wandering on foot, bike or boat with a camera. This is a continually evolving project, and will develop more over time.
Thanks to the folk who have tested some of the website mechanics in recent weeks - and also to those who have been on some of these trips with me. With plenty more to come soon 🙂 If you have time to ping through the site, I'd be very grateful.

From the archive, 1981 - Polaroid SX70 prints. The standing stones at Callanish and details from the Isle of Lewis. From a cycle ride through the Western Isles and eventually on to Orkney with as much camera kit I could carry in two bike panniers. 😊
