Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is about choosing your favourite photo. She says

‘We all have our brilliant moments and feel like we have taken a photograph that would fit in perfectly into the Life or National Geographic Magazines. I want to see those. Your photographs can be straight out of the camera or edited in Photoshop or other software. I’m excited to see everyone’s photography.’

I know that my choice isn’t of particularly high standard, but it is probably my all time favourite. Every time I see it it takes me back to the wonderful city of Kuala Lumpur and I sit and dream of returning.

It’s time for Sandra’s Thursday Windows once again. This is Cathedral Close in Exeter showing the 16th century Mols Coffee House and to the left is St Martins church, one of the oldest buildings in the city, consecrated a year before the Norman conquest. These windows and all the rest in the area have been around a long time!

Dartmoor Ponies

I was up on Scorhill yesterday, a beautiful blue sky day and there were quite a few ponies around. I’m sure I photographed this grey mare in 2010, she hangs around the same spot. As well as this years foal, last years was still close by and I managed to snap them as she herded them away. I had the zoom lens on so I wasn’t too close.

Aren’t they beautiful?

Sunday Post: People

People, I don’t take that many photos of groups of people, but that’s how I have interpreted the challenge. A group of fledgling people.

People who one day will

Heal our sickness

Grow our food

Stitch our clothes

Build our homes

Drive our trains

Clear our drains

Rule our world

And until then

Make us smile

This is for Jakes Printer perhaps you will visit to see his animations?

Lady Anne’s Rosemoor

Posted on September 20, 2012 Posted in Devon, England, Flowers, Gardens, Photography, TravelTagged Devon, England, Flowers, Gardens, Photography, Plants, Rosemoor, royal horticultural society, travel19 Comments

On of my favourite parts of Rosemoor is Lady Anne’s garden. She was the previous owner of Rosemoor, and in 1988 she donated her 8 acre garden and another 32 acres of land to the RHS. For this post I’m choosing some of Septembers loveliest flowers.

So, have you any idea which might be my favourite plant?

If you would like to know what any of the plants are, I remember most of them and I know a blogger who will know the ones I can’t recall!

Thursday’s Windows

Sandra had started a new challenge, Thursday’s Windows! She is taking a very light hearted approach, join in if you want or skip it if you don’t. It’s going to be windows every week so I don’t know if I can manage it but for now I’m joining her.

If you have a pretty, ugly or interesting window you would like to post the link at Sandra‘s!
