no reflections

 

I broke the glass, sorry Lucrecia.  

It's by Flynne Hunter [known by me as Lucrecia].

A fine artist / photog now teaching in Switzerland. Not at all jealous, honest.

animules

 

I have it on great authority that these are sheeps. Or were sheeps since this was taken a few years back when I visited The Crofter a lot. I mean I do still make visitations to the crofter - as I did this morning as it happens - but he's busy and I'm tired.

real reflections

 

A lovely print by Ragnar Axelsson on Iceland. I had the pleasure of meeting this fine fellow when Alex Boyd organised an exhibition in An Lanntair in Stornoway. What a lovely man and brilliant work. Any of these books by him are work worth yur time looking at.

I cannot tell you how I came by the print. Please don't ask.

please don't overdo the holiday music

 

Too much festive music does my head in. 

Sorry and all that.

Just visit your neighbour and be nice to everyone.

reflections again

 

Another long time hanging in our summer parlour, a painting by Chris Cyprus who works in the old mill opposite our former house in Mossley Lancs many years ago.

forgive me

 

I have had a torrid few days.

Teeth? etc. Pain; had two out then implants started. I mean, the dentist is good, the people there nice and they did a good job but I am a tad sore. I can't eat properly and had to miss a bowls-club ladies dinner out. 

Still, I have always liked this slightly altered print from a while back so I thought it about the right time to show it again.

reflections too

 

A recent acquisition from Christine Morrison all the way from a couple of villages up t'road. Really like this work and like all the other non-me works, hangs in our summer parlour [lounge/sitting room].

Something really speaks to me in this piece. I love it

off we go

 

Have not been on the bike for ages - not even the Electric one. Me old bod doesn't seem to like it much these days. It doesn't really like much really. Bowls is just a bout ok as long as I don't overdo it. It's a pity because I love cycling.

reflex

 

Another local artist who made the pigments from local peat. I wish I remember her name.

reflections in a curved window

 

A wonderful work by locally based photog Colin Myers.

reflecting times

 

Masha, a Russian/Ukrainian who once resided on the island here working in the hospital. Now based near Edinburgh, Has a such an eye for classic lighting seen here with this photograph.

blue reflections

 

A fav of mine. Work by Katie Harris Macleod formerly of this rock and now on another rock. Really nice lady to spend time with.

A cyanotype .

now, don't please tell me I don't show you the best tourist spots

 

I know, I know. 

Just calm yourself and when I get back from lunch I tell you where this isn't.

Every now and again treat myself to a little trippette down the rock and see what's not happening there. At this time of year the weather is excellent - all wind and rain with clouded skies and the occasional burst of sunshine. And just sometime I get my camera out.

This was/is down in North Lochs area of Lewis don't you know.

Marvelous. 

some more reflections

 

A lovely print by photog and dentist Colin Robertson from across the bay here.

The stuff underneath I couldn't be bothered to move are mine and a wonder cyanotype print by a internet sensation whose name escapes me - on account of my age.

on our way

 

Eve was on her way anyway. off to see whatever was over that way just past the ruined 'castle' we visited. To be honest, I was expecting a bit of battling, clashing of swords, splashing of hot oil off the battlements and the like. And all there were was a pile of old stones.

reflections

 

A lovely painting I have had for decades by French painter Michel Maurice of Laval.

Badly phone snapped with accompanying reflections in the summer parlour

out and about

 

ooof, I like it.

 

A quick and dirty print on Ilford RC I got out the other day before exhaustion overwhelmed me. It might be from a wedding I went to this year. I like it whatever it is.

I won't bore you

 I'm not the only one who like this type of snap. I mean, see Olga Karlovac, or Igor Pozner for two examples.
