From Strandshag Bay
Strandshag Bay lies near the head of Derwent Water.
I enjoy the moodiness of the winter scenes up there and this shot was taken back in February 2015.
I have a long thin canvas that has been waiting for a picture .....

I'd found some instructions on the internet but decided I'd use my own reference photo.

With a little imagination this will be a new addition to the CATching series.

Bamburgh Sunrise
On holiday woke early to find an orange sky and the sun not risen.
Grabbed my camera and set off towards the sea.
I felt suitably rewarded when I saw the sun peek over the horizon.

I took a lovley photo at the Ornamental Gardens in Grange over Sands.
Sitting quietly admiring these babies (camera at the ready),
I was delighted when the parents seemed to think I was a suitable baby sitter.

These little ones seemed to be taking a break in the late afternoon sunshine.
Just one
Previously worked as a pencil drawing where some of the proportions were wrong so re-did in charcoal and pastel.

Are Ewe Playing
With Lambing season in full swing I've decided to do a couple more charcoal lambs.
This little one seemed to be looking for someone to play with.

Lambs Playtime
These early Lambs were so cute and joyous and seemed to be saying "Come Play".

On my wanders around my home town, I took this stunning photo of Wild Boar Fell overlooking Wharton Hall.
I'd bought some new pastel pencils and thought I had the opportunity to put the 2 together.
Sizergh Swans
These 2 beautiful creatures have taken up residence on the lake at Sizergh Castle ( Feb 2017 ).
On a dull grey day they made an interesting contrast to the reflected greys from the clouds in the almost still water.
