Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
I really needed a reason to get me out into the cold at lunchtime and Myfanwy’s 100 steps motivated me! The building next to mine on the campus is the Cancer Care centre, set in a small garden and the walk through is often part of my midday stroll. I started my 100 steps at the grey metal gate and ended at the crocus.

Myfanwy uses her 100 step photo walks as inspiration for her stunning textile art, if you haven’t seen it visit http://chittlechattle.com/
Myfanwy at http://chittlechattle.com/ began taking photos on a 100 step walk and several bloggers have followed her idea, it’s a great way of becoming aware of your surroundings. I’ve tried it from home and from work, and yesterday as I was at Rosemoor, where there is beauty in every direction, I decided to choose a particular starting point. Half way around the garden it changes its nature by going through an underpass on the A3124 to the original garden bequeathed by Lady Anne and bearing her name.
I walked 50 steps in each direction from here and saw this cute bird, part of the sculpture exhibition
Some well weathered and lichened stone
Plenty of greenery of course but I like this leaf
A sculpture with an interesting texture
A leaf with a shimmer, about fifty centimetres across
These are my favourites, I love the way the shadow became blue and I have no idea why, but I used my phone camera to take these shots because I was dodging the rain.
Hope you like my steps Myfanwy!
