Such a beautiful sunset after an unpleasant, rainy day yesterday. It was so good to go out just for a trip down to Sutton Park to shoot the dying light over the water once it had stopped raining ! The clouds parted, and the sun spread its beautiful rays. So lucky to have had the opportunity to go out at that time. PS: It's raining again!

I do hope you like my picture, shot vertically and edited very slightly in Topaz and PicMonkey.

Thank you so much for every fave and comment, every view, my Flickr friends, as always.

Everything passes, everything changes, Dylan sang.
Taken this morning while out (with Marnie of course) a moment before, the sky had been grey and rain was falling. Suddenly the clouds moved away and there was bright sunshine. Seizing the moment, I just had to take a picture, and here it is !

My chosen music ages me doesn't it ! And yes, I bought the album when it was first released :-))

To Ramona by Bob Dylan

Edited in Topaz Studio with the finishing touches done in PicMonkey.

I do hope you like it !

This is to thank everyone who's been kind enough to enquire after Trev's wellbeing (and mine) ! He's still in hospital but he should be coming home in the next few days.

During the time Trev's been in hospital, I've been very busy, as you can imagine. Luckily for me, the weather has been kind so I've spent a lot of time in the garden, trying to keep it under control. Yesterday I found our aquilegia is blooming away merrily. I took many pictures in the garden but haven't had time to process them. Well, I made some time today and here is a single flower and unopened bud.

Thank you so much for your support during this horrible time. I will be seeing him again tomorrow and will let you know how he's doing.

Time to go and cut back some more ivy !!!

Here we are, looking down the path which I'll pretend leads us to the future. We are praying it's much better than it's been for a long time, as my husband, Trev, has a major operation to remove a cancerous growth in his bowel tomorrow. It is a tricky operation and he'll need lots of care but it's a new beginning !

So we're ignoring the dark clouds overhead. They went away and soon it was sunshine again !

Keep safe everyone, look after yourselves and each other.

My time on Flickr will be very limited, as you can imagine. Please forgive my frequent absenses, you will know the reason why now.

I hope you like my picture, edited in Topaz Studio and framed and signed in PicMonkey.

Thanks for looking and your wonderful support my friends.

Taken while out walking in Newhall Valley Park on yesterday's beautiful sunny morning, among the wild plants growing by the stream. Everything looked beautiful in the sunshine. The last really sunny day for a long time judging by the weather forecast !

~ Processed in Topaz Studio and finished off in PicMonkey ~

I hope you like my picture. Happy Easter if you celebrate it !

Thank you for looking - every view and comment is really appreciated.
