Green – Travel Theme

/ Dee / Leave a comment

I love following Ailsa’s travels and viewing her wonderful photographs and this week her theme is “Green”.  (Read more here )

My selection is from close to home – my garden. It will never feature in Home and Garden;  it is a tennis court, soccer pitch, fairyland, petanque pitch, campsite and, if I get the chance, a relaxing spot to unwind with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and a favourite book!

I just love the different shades of green that you can see, depending on the weather and time of day. These were mostly taken in late autumn last year, but the little snowdrops braved the frost and snow of a couple of weeks ago. Hope you like them 🙂

Travel Theme – Mountains

/ Dee / 3 Comments

Ailsa’s travel theme this week is Mountains. I’ve never climbed one, but photographed a few, hope you like them.

I also hope the Gallery view works, you can see each one if you click on it (or so I’m led to believe!)

Travel Theme – Multiples

/ Dee / Leave a comment

These are my photos for Ailsa’s Travel  Theme this week. They are all “Multiples” of one kind or another

Multiples

I found the stones outside the lower reception area of the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, they had a lot of very interesting objects set in and around the hotel.
The scallops were part of the very enjoyable lunch we had at the Portxiol Hotel in Majorca. The hotel is set in a stunning location by the harbour, just outside Palma.
The shoes – well, a friend had been telling me of her search for flat black pumps and how she had been unable to find any that she liked. While we were in Cornwall, I saw this display in the front of a shop window.
The narrow street is in Mevagissey a lovely old fishing village, also in Cornwall. The lines of windows caught my eye as the street wound away up the hill.

Hope you like them. You can see other “Multiples” here http://wheresmybackpack.com/2013/01/04/travel-theme-multiples/
