I am a self-taught artist who loves and appreciates art and photography. Both capture moments of life with great meaning and beauty.

A photo or a piece of art can set off all kinds of emotions. I believe that looking at paintings and images can promote healing too, a form of colour therapy.

Anyway, I hope my vision of my time on this planet can give you all some form of joy.

Yeah, Spring has Sprung!!

Hi everyone, do you like the picture of the spring lamb. I took it at Castleton. More on that later. 

First of all the family are on holiday this week so we just had to get out to spend some quality time together in Mother Nature. Should have done this yesterday as it was 'Earth Day', but it poured down with rain so we decided to go out today instead, oh well better late than never. 

My hubby thought it would be a good idea to try out a new programme he has that helps you take several pictures and convert them as panoramic photographs. Well you don't need to ask me twice, any excuse to take some pic's. 

Off we went to Curbar Gap in the Derbyshire hills. An excellent place to visit for climbers and ramblers alike aswell as plenty of opportunity to go bouldering. Our boys learnt how to climb on these rocks as children, a lot of happy memories here.

I took some photos of Curbar Gap and here they are.
As you can see he used the programme :).

The next destination was Castleton, an old lead mining village that is littered with caves, ideal for potholing. There are four main caverns open to the public called: Speedwell Cavern, Blue John Cavern, Treak Cliff Cavern and last but not least Peak Cavern. This has a quaint village full of character, with narrow winding lanes and if you like shopping, gorgeous gift shops that have jewellery made from the Blue John stone mined locally. There is lots to do for those who are active like walking over the highest peak in Derbyshire, Mam Tor, which is a favourite for paragliders in the summertime. Here are some pictures for you to browse.
We also went to two other destinations after that, Ecclesall Woods with its rich prehistoric history, here is a link for more info...

Finally I wanted to end the day with photographs of some flowers so off we went to Wirlow Park just up the road from Ecclesall Woods. I was not disappointed and was rewarded by a superb show of spring flowers and shrubs. Here are a few of the highlights..

I hope you enjoyed this blog, I consider this to be a tribute to Earth Day. It is great to get out from time to time and appreciate what we are given unconditionally for free. I will leave you with this song from the Late and great Michael Jackson, bless his soul.

Love and Peace
