Springs Into Life

Cherry Blossom late March in Regent's Park

If I had to answer the question “when were you happiest?”, the answer would be “every year about this time”. Spring has that effect on me and I can’t let the week go by without a spring picture. There were other things happening this week so there is another picture of the week. See Silent Protest..

Artificial Stimulation

I have been exposed to a SAD light a few times of late. Because I don’t have SAD I guess it is hard to judge the effect, but I imagine it is meant to leave you feeling like spring has turned up momentarily in the depth of a dark winter.

Last of the Roses

Autumn is here, but a fine display of the last of the roses can still be seen in Regent’s Park. Along with the many other photographers about on a clear Saturday afternoon, I thought I would capture one last rose until next year.

Monnels

This week’s photo was taken in Catalonia, in the exceptional medieval town of Monnels near La Bisbal. I went there with friends. We had a leisurely walk around the town and a drink at a bar in the porticoed square. There was honeysuckle and wisteria everywhere. Some of the wisteria still had a few blooms, but the honeysuckle was in its stride.

Rose Garden

The week’s photo is not really this week’s photo but it is representative of several days this summer which I spent taking photos in the wonderful rose garden in Regent’s Park. The roses are all gone now, but I thought I would squeeze in this pic of the Yellow Rose Family as the first one.
