I started gathering pics for the weekly challenge but then realised it was the new Phoneography Challenge of Neighbourhood instead. So I got all confused and nearly didn’t post but it seems that Cheri doesn’t really mind if you use your phone camera or not. About half of mine are phone images and the rest my Canon. Don’t forget you can join in at http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/03/08/my-neighborhood/

Maybe you took these with your phone, but they look exceedingly GOOD to me. Interesting shots, Gilly.
Nice, and I love the header.
I don’t understand the need to specify a phone photo challenge. We are all using different equipment, from phones through to very sophisticated gear.
I do like the feel of your neighbourhood, Gilly
i really like your neighbourhood gilly, and i don’t have a phone camera, so glad you can use your canon as well!! the heavitree words are sublime, so much thought, feeling, such delightful images flying free like the sparrows … thanks to the yew 🙂
What a great neighborhood gallery! 😉
I have a cheapo for that doesn’t take good photos at all. Maybe I should ‘cheat’ and just post 😉
oops phone not for
You have a beautiful neighborhood, Gilly, and your photos are lovely. I think this IS the Weekly Photo Challenge, except they’re specifying to take photos with a phone, which I don’t even have!! So does that mean I can’t participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge anymore?? I don’t think they should specify at all. I agree with IsobelandCat!
All very grand, Gilly, and soooooo English! 🙂
Nice photos of your neighborhood.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
hi Gilly, interesting last photo, letters protecting the tree …
Lovely place to live!
And a lovely neighborhood it is! Margie
What a gorgeous collection of photos…I love that so many have writting in them. What a wordy place you come from 🙂
First, let me say that your header looks like it is bursting with Spring. It makes me happy to look at it. Very pretty, Gilly.
The neighborhhod picks are fab. I thought it had to be a phone challenge so I didn’t think I’d participate. I have a phone that takes pix’s but, sadly, it is an old flip phone that I can barely figure out. I will have to get a more updated one soon. I feel like I am lagging behind.
Your pix’s never disappoint – no matter what you’re taking them with.
A beautiful town, Gilly – I love the pair of stores and the parks. (And the header full of crocus 🙂 )
Thank you for reading the Weekly Photo instructions more carefully than I did! Like a lot of other people, I saw the “Phoneography” title, read the instructions quickly, and felt – I don’t know – shoved aside? Unreasonably excluded? It’s one thing to encourage people who don’t have real cameras, only phones, to participate; but why shut the rest of us out? (Especially those of us who just use very basic, non-photographic, cells.) I’m glad that isn’t really what they’re doing, but I think the new idea could have been presented better.
Oh well – it isn’t fair to rant at you about it, when you aren’t the one at fault! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
I love your neighborhood. So many interesting places!
I’m glad you you shared these pictures cause it shows what a vibrant, beautiful neighborhood should look like. Thanks.
Beautiful post once again Gilly I love it 🙂
That is some wonderful neighborhood!
A super set Gilly. Could we swap neighbourhoods ? 🙂
Looks like a delightful neighborhood to me. I hope the people are as nice as the places.
Lovely neighbourhood, Gilly … no wonder you like your walks!
Beautiful photos. I was surprised that it was listed it as a phone challenge–I don’t have a cell phone. Good to know they aren’t too picky and i could have joined.
Lucid Gypsy … I’m in suspense now. Tell me about the art piece and the building above it, which is a great perspective shot. I love those angles and sometimes find it difficult to capture. http://blogagaini.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/phoneography-challenge-my-neighborhood/
Hi, sorry I’m so late replying I struggle to keep up! The art work was put in situ a few years ago to brighten up a dull corner but it upset a few locals who though it was a waste of money. It celebrates one of the great trees of England, the Heavitree Yew!
So coming to visit one day Gilly…start preparing yourself for the ‘whirlwind’ [what others have told me] that is Jo…hehehehehehe
hahaha you’ll be squashed but welcome to the calm that is Devon!
How do you put your photos together like that? I cannot do it. Is there a place that shows you these things? beebeesworld
