A wonderful place

I hope this is not getting too boring for you, I was going to think of something else to write about, but.....I went for a walk instead :0) another five miles. Maybe I should give the camera a rest for a few days, but like walking, photography can be quite addictive. I thought it would be a good idea to take photographs which remind us of the wonderful place we live in.

I spotted these pretty catkins today. I am high up overlooking the River Trent at Alkborough, less than three miles from my house. This is one of my favourite walks.

Spring is definately coming. Mother nature is waking up the woodland plants and flowers once again. How sweet the snowdrops are, pushing their way up through the carpet of dry leaves.

I looked out of my window at about 6pm tonight and caught a glimpse of a lovely sunset, behind the houses across the road. I grabbed the camera and ran down the street to the back of the church, hoping I wasn't too late. Just a few minutes left before it disappeared over the horizon.

The blood red sky was reflected in the river below.

I couldn't walk away untill it had gone, it was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.

Our church is floodlit, maybe worth trying to take a picture with my little point and shoot digital camera. I didn't expect it to turn out very well, but I am pleased with these two.

It's good to be alive. We are so lucky.
