Not the beginning but the ending of the day. Setting and settling and ending, with the promise of a new rising on the following day. I have used a number of setting sun photographs in the past, and this one simply speaks of hope and promise and new perspectives. The ending of each day makesContinue reading “Setting…..and trusting”

‘I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.’ John 15;5 Enough said, by Jesus, is my response! God with us through the rough and the smooth. Branches are fascinating…the carriers of life and hope andContinue reading “Branches…”

Two damsel flies taking in the rays on an outcrop of stone. Perfectly camouflaged and easy to miss or pass by. Seeing is not always believing, because what we see doesn’t always match what the reality might be. We make judgements about what touches our senses and this may be a good thing, but itContinue reading “Seeing is believing”

Sun, Bees, beehive, flowers… all the ingredients brought together to create honey! Without the coming together of all these elements the end result would not occur. But with each arriving at the right moment, the sweet taste of honey is the result! A parable of life perhaps? But also a sense of how faith worksContinue reading “Ingredients”

This is the most amazing sight I think I have ever photographed! The scene unfolded in the garden of some friends were staying with last week. A fox, up on its back legs, in order to pick ripe plums from a tree in their garden!! They had never seen anything like this before and itContinue reading “Resistance is futile….”

An eruption of light as the sun begins to set at the end of another day. Here are some words from 2 Corinthians 1; 3-4;‘Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so thatContinue reading “Praise be!”

‘A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD….’ (Isaiah 40, verse 3.) The Breamish Valley in Northumberland, photographed last week. The solitary place. Parched ground. Sometimes a raging torrent. Where is the way for the Lord? Perhaps it’s me… the onlooker, being absorbed into the moment? I might beContinue reading “Expectancy…..”

A glimpse of Warkworth Castle and the church , Sun retreating at the dimming of the day. The sea projects tranquility, with the barest of breezes creating ripples across the water. I could sit in this hazy moment for a while; absorbing the elemnets of the photograph. Each of us seeing from a different perspectiveContinue reading “Hazy days……”

In capturing this scene, I seem to have photographed a new species of bird! The oyster catcher on the left is easily identified…..the bird on the right has turned its head just as I took the shot…it is a Black Headed Gull in disguise! Ooops! Things are not always how they seem, we can allContinue reading “Ooops!!”

Impressive, I’m sure you will agree! This oak tree carries within it some kind of memory of the more than 500 years it has been inexistence. Planted in the Dunham Massey estate as a sapling, it has withstood the vagries of weather and human interference. What tales it could tell, but there is a senseContinue reading “500 and counting”
