These make excellent birthday cards ! I am designing 12 images based around the months of the year and the old Celtic luna months. They will reflect the changing of the seasons and the ever turning wheel of the year, the magic and mystery attatched to each part of the cycle and any special festivals falling in those months. I hope you enjoy them as much as I am enjoying creating them :) Blessings Angie* “October – and the skies are cool and gray / O’er stubbles emptied of their latest sheaf, / Bare meadow, and the slowly falling leaf. / The dignity of woods in rich decay / Accords full well with this majestic grief / That clothes our solemn purple hills to-day, / Whose afternoon is hush’d, and wintry brief / Only a robin sings from any spray. And night sends up her pale cold moon, and spills / White mist around the hollows of the hills, / Phantoms of firth or lake; the peasant sees / His cot and stockyard, with the homestead trees, / Islanded; but no foolish terror thrills / His perfect harvesting; he sleeps at ease. “ William Allingham
Mono Lake, California / Canon Elan 7 and Provia 100 film. My favorite spot in the Sierras; I revisit often and enjoy finding leading lines around the shoreline to compose my images.
Trying something new, again! I just love the way this turned out! I was working with my extensions tubes (again!) and this Dogwood blossom was floating in a dish of water…It’s just so soft looking! I hope you enjoy.

To celebrate the end of Summer and the begining of Autumn. Taken in the Swan Valley near Perth, Western Australia.
Summer is not too far away and this soup is a great way to consume that flood of tomatoes when you grow your own. Come to think of it, this tastes great anytime, so why wait? Cream of Tomato and Basil Soup 1 Onion / 4 Garlic Cloves / 1 Long Sweet Red Pepper / 12 Medium Size Tomatoes / 2 oz or 50g Butter / 250ml Chicken Stock / 75ml Double Cream / 1 Desert Spoon of Dried Basil / Some Fresh Basil / ¼ Tsp Ground White Pepper / 1 Level Tsp Sea Salt Peel and chop the garlic cloves and the onion. De-seed and chop the long sweet red pepper. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the onion, garlic and sweet red pepper. Cover and simmer gently stirring now and then until the onions are soft – about ten minutes. Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes in half, splitting where the stalk was. Cut out a V to remove the hard stalk remnants and roughly chop the tomatoes. Add them to the other ingredients and bring everything back to a simmer. Add the dry basil, salt and pepper, cover, and let it all stew gently for about 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the chicken stock and simmer gently for another ten minutes. Remove from the heat and now blend all the ingredients in a liquidiser or with an electric hand blender. Return it to the saucepan, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Stir in 50ml of double cream saving 25ml for presentation. Serve with some torn fresh basil leaves and a swirl of cream. Revel in the taste, consume luxuriously then relax for ten minutes. Take the dog for a walk.

Here’s another image taken from yesterday’s photo expedition,,, I love the colours of autumn on the Mornington Peninsula so I just can’t help but try and capture it..
Merging some elements from my pencil drawings, Querencia / and Heliotroped with Tattoo and Guest Poet / comes this RedBubble exclusive image. / If I could explain my feelings about why I did this, I would. I don’t have the words – so hopefully my lines can speak. /
Mono Lake is believed to be 1-3 million years old and one of the oldest lakes in North America. The tufa towers rise out of the water due to the unique water chemistry. It is almost 3 times as salty as the ocean.
/ Thank you to the wonderful stock! / MODEL / Background All other stock can be found here Artist(Band):Have Heart / On The Bird In The Cage My girl, my girl, tell me why you look so sad… / Has the sun finally set on us? / Have you come to long for another’s hand? / There’s a feeling inside me that somethings leaving. / Like someone stealing salt from sea. / Left me sinking and left me thinking / how to keep you caged with me Because I need you like air to breathe / Just to hold you. / o’ I hold you. / o’ how I hold you. / I hold you down. Down with my insecurities / down with my hypocrisy / down with my pathetic pleas / down instead of setting you free / to find your happiness with or without me. So untie your feat, reattach your wings / so you don’t have to open your throat to sing. Because if it’s you I love, then from you… I’d walk away. And your face: / on every leaf / of every branch / of every tree.
