Yesterday we went to Parnholt wood near Farley, Hampshire. After looking inside St John's Church set alone amongst the fields we walked a mile to the wood to see the Bluebells. Magnificent they are too. I have added here a couple of the photos I took then. Double click the images to see it bigger and better.

Yesterday I took some pics of daffodils and primulas and a rather sad tent.
The tent was not occupied but it was with trepidation that I set up my tripod [yes indeed] to take this photo and another closer version. It was pitched under one of the arches of the bridge into the city that goes over the Avon.

Bexhill

Two more photos from the stairwell of the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill
Since the last blog the weather has been much colder. Quite freezing and even had snow.
Yesterday we went round the historic parts of Wilton. The pics will be posted up later.

We are back after being in East Sussex last week for 4 days. We had super weather - sunny, warm(ish) and in good company. There were 11 in total; all photographers and we occupied a complete hotel in Bexhill right opposite the De La Warr Pavilion [built 1935]. First picture of the stairwell. The second photo is of the small pavilions built for King George the Fifth's coronation.

We made trips to old Hastings [next 3 pics a) Man painting, b) Net Sheds, c) Fishing Boats hauled up onto beach, Rye Harbour (photo of red roofed shed on beach).

Dungeness (no pics) and the Romsey Marshes (picture of St Thomas a Becket's church at Fairfield set amongst lonely fields) and ended up near Beachy Head.

Actually the Birling Gap (next picture taken from the rocky foreshore) and then Seaford Head (showing the seven sisters). The latter overlooks the Seven Sisters white cliffs. Not to be confused with the white cliffs of Dover. I will add a sample of the photos I took during that time.

Remember to double click a photograph to see it full size.

I went into the city today to buy a cable release as you do. I took these photos en route. This first one is on our estate.
Here is Choristers Green. Centre is Mompesson House [NT].


Same area with a red telephone kiosk and bicycles.

This is the wall of the Rose & Crown.
This is the wall of the Close.

This is the Town gate into the city. The statue is of George the Fifth.

Salisbury Saturday

On Saturday last we walked into the City via the Close as usual and did some shopping. This was mainly for food and drink for the RPS meeting that we have organized for Sunday.
Anyway we took some photos on my new camera a Canon 30D. Only the 10 to 20 mm zoom lens was used.
