Window on Wednesday


…the very sad and sorry state of our kitchen at the moment…
                                                                the broken reflection of the window says it all…
…we may be cooking in our kitchen in August…one set of fingers crossed…

The Earths shadow…..

…one of the many mango trees bearing witness to the passing of the shadow ….

…….the clouds parted and we were able to catch this fleeting glimpse of the of the earths shadow passing over the moon…

…a hot and steamy night Freetown Sierra Leone 15th June 2011 21:50…a moment in my life to be remembered…

Window on Wednesday

I was going to crop this picture …..but looking at it I thought that the cropping would make it meaningless….so today…it’s windows on Wednesday….

this picture was snatched while travelling through town in our car…traffic is always so bad that one has many picture opportunities…

an indigo heart

 

this inspiration for this cloth came from Jude over at Spiritcloth …. I love hearts … I started this cloth it in heart month…when I was young and at boarding school, it was the month I dreaded the most…no Valentines for me…once I got one from my father…(bless him)…I scolded him for sending it …. that was not the done thing!!

Anyway this is my Valentine cloth to me….

the little indigo heart the inspiration for the name of the cloth….

…this cloth hangs on the wall in my work room where i can enjoy it….it warms my heart….

Window on Wednesday….reflections in Salisbury Cathedral

 

We have had the most wonderful two weeks wondering around the UK….the weather has been sunny and warm…one of our stops was the Salisbury Cathedral…This water font in the centre of the cathedral caught my imagination….I love water in doors as well as out….I especially like the very stillness of this water creating a wonderful mirror reflection the stained glass window above….
