A mysterious and coveted slice of the lovely and famous Brighton pier at sunset...

More English whimsy

Typical Brighton streets after a January rainfall, here we have a special treat - hop in for a fun ride! Or not. Who can trust those Mini stretch limos, anyways - hehe!

And now for some whimsy...

I love the colours and textures in this photo... such a simple spontaneous shot with a whimsical background, snapped on a crisp January day at dusk. I had so much fun that afternoon... thank you Vegas for giving me a glimpse into another world. I can't wait to go back someday with you. Photo subjects: two friends of ours.

Angel on four legs

It was time for another photo of my beautiful boy... sweet happy angel that he is.

Comfort food

My dad's awesome home-made spaghetti sauce... anchors me back every time to happy childhood summers, cold Coke in a glass with ice-cubes and feeling like the luckiest kid ever, even if it was only for a brief moment in time.

Now for something refreshing

I realise the past few photos have been very "busy" and riotous... thought to inject a bit of calm coolness before the next batch of spring follies. I don't miss the snow, yet I do a little bit... there is something magical about the purity of a vast white field, not to mention happy doggies enjoying it to the max ;-)

Guardian angel

One angel for a few thousand souls... that works out pretty well!

One for the ladies

I love springtime... see what it brings out to play? reeeeerr!

Wooden cobwebs

It all looks a bit whacked-out spooky without the lush green leaves... the trees are budding now, it will all be much more pleasant to look at in two weeks. Or so I hope!

In contrast to the human madness...

...some little sweet babies slowly coming to life for another season.

Sunday tam-tams, another view

A peaceful riot of human bodies, all pressed together like a neat sardine on rye sandwich. Yummmers.

Sunday tam-tams, revisited

The next few photos will be hosted by last Sunday's hippie tam-tams held on the side of the mountain which graces the middle of our beautiful city... the hot spring weather drew out the crowds like bees to fresh spring flowers. It was fun, it was colorful, it was... busy!

Lions and lambs, alternate view

I quite like this alternate shot... "mmm which one will I have for lunch..." :-D

Of lions and lambs

Spring just sprung upon us like a lion on a lamb... I had a lovely time drinking in the warm sun this weekend as did, apparently, half of the city! This week's theme will be the newly-green parks and the people enjoying them.

Pretty babies

Little green ones coming to life, a safe haven in the middle of a giant crowd of people - yet nobody dared to trample these fragile ones. Nice to see humans still having respect for nature.

City at dusk

Thought to make a little contrast to the previous shots... captured this one by accident, it just seemed so pretty - yes, this is my neighborhood and I do find it quite charming at times.

Sea at dusk, part IV

Last one of the sea sunsets, new theme coming soon! Hmmm city sunset, perhaps?...

Sea at dusk, part III

Another one of my favorites... dark and brooding. Reeeeerrr!

This week's theme: sea at dusk

I flipped through some sea at dusk photos last night and found a few I'd love to share - mostly cloud art, with some warm rays interspersed here and there among the water and the sky... hope you enjoy!

Nature is art

In dreams, nothing is impossible... in nature, everything is possible. When you blend both, you get an image that is uniquely yours - have you painted your dreams today?

Soon the sea will rise again

I can't wait to walk by the summer sea again (soon! soon!) so in the meantime, my stash of older photos is getting revisited... this dark low tide was particularly interesting despite the pungent smell of wet kelp.

Fountain of youth

Cold January light on an English sculpture by the sea...

Beachcombing

My stepfather (aka "Mr Sea") finds the most beautiful treasures along the local coasts and beaches, his sharp eye finds art in everything: a heart-shaped rock, a penguin etched in sandstone, a bird carved from beachwood... all products from the sea.

Chiming in the wind

I found these wind chimes to be particularly fun to photograph, swaying in the breeze...

Sleeping Peanut

How relaxing is this? :-)

Random greens

Little green beauties hiding on the forest floor.

I sea summer

Low tide on a foggy day, the bright greens and pinks drinking in the salty sea air... Bliss!

Everybody loves a sunset...

...so here is one I particularly like (photo is unaltered btw - it really was this beautiful). Can you feel the summer warmth seeping right through to warm your bones?

Psychedelics, anyone?

After this inspiring balmy pseudo-spring day (not spring YET, but soon!) I felt like splashing a dose of color on here. Of course this is from last summer, but you get the idea... LOL!
