Happy New Year!
So this was Christmas...
Snowflake light atop the piano on which my mother and I played the carols we've played since I was old enough to find Middle C!
Festive berries in the garden...
A tiny, engraved pebble in my parents' garden, which looks quite prophetic in the frost!

Alice in Wonderland / Doll Parts
Thanks once again to my fabulous models, Faye and Kasia.
Kasia's shoot was inspired by Tenniel's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland illustrations - we tried to emulate Alice's poses in the original illustrations, so they could be superimposed. Kasia makes a soopa little Alice!
Faye's shoot was inspired by poseable dolls, including thisisblythe.com - Blythe being a doll more edgy than Bratz could ever aspire to be, and Faye out-edging them all!
Photos taken in a spare meeting room in our office, no less! Gotta love quirky black wallpaper...

Y Viva Espana!
I was very lucky to spend last weekend up in the hills of Chulilla, nr. Valencia, Spain, at the wedding party of a lovely friend of mine who moved out to Spain five years ago. She and her husband are in the process of renovating her third house out there!
Chulilla itself is a tiny village flanked by hills and canyons but is remarkably picturesque - especially from the castle on the hill, and especially at night!
Here are a few choice shots for your delectation!

Early autumn
The leaves are on the turn - out with the camera!
Taken in Tonbridge, a town that is not usually this colourful! I varied a kit lens (18-55mm) with a screw-on macro lens (10x), and adjusted the saturation only slightly - for the most part the colours speak for themselves.
And the cobwebs are rather marvellous this time of year!
