Snow, reflections and the English winter

Surrey landscape

Another shot from yesterday’s foray into the snowy landscape.  The snow is gone now; it doesn’t last long here.  Back to grey and wet today, but it was fun while it lasted.  Looking back to this day last year for my 365 redux project, I found images of golden light and blue skies.  This little island is known for its variable climate; discussing the weather is practically a national sport.  Last year we had one of the wettest winters since records began and nary a single flake of snow.

I can’t believe it’s been well over a week since my last post.  I am really neglecting Focused Moments at the moment.   Shame on me!  But there have been good reasons for my lapse.  It’s been an eventful few weeks, photographically speaking.  There are some really exciting projects beginning to come to the boil but they are time-consuming.  I am not ready to write about most of them yet but there will be lots of news in the next few weeks, fingers crossed.    In the meantime, I can share a nice little surprise from this morning.  One of my images of poppies from last summer is presently featured in the window of a gallery in Barcelona.  If you have been around here for a while, you may remember that I love Barcelona, so you can guess how pleased I am.  The picture below is courtesy of The Shed Gallery.  I wrote a post all about The Shed in the Autumn; you can find it here.

As I am going to be recording lots of news about my photography, I am also going to write occasional posts featuring other photographers and artists whose work I admire.  Any small successes I enjoy would never have happened without the inspiration I derive from the work of others and I want to share that here.

Are you on Facebook or Twitter?  I have been developing my pages there and would love it if you had time to pop by and say ‘hi’.
