Photographs and Paintings

Hello Lovelies, 

this morning was beautifully sunny and I headed off happily on a little walk once the boys were all at school.

It was so pleasant that I explored a new footpath and added three new stiles to my route.........

The sky was such a bright shade of blue and the bare oak trees looked stunning against it...........

I loved this Sheep and lamb on the farm sign..........

and stopped for a while to watch the Chaffinches singing and darting from branch to branch......

There are gorgeous wild primroses near the church.........

And the snowdrops still look at their best.........

I love photographing nature and as you know I've also begun attempting to draw it.

Last year I picked up this sweet little book in a charity shop and recently I've been looking at it again for inspiration. I thought you lovelies might like to see these beautiful nature pictures too.

 How wonderful is that cover illustration

Each page has wonderful paintings of plants and animals beginning with the same letter.........

 Do click on the photos to see them more clearly 

It may be a book for children but an adult can learn so much from this book too......

 Look there is the Chaffinch I saw on my walk

Molly Brett is one of my favourite illustrators and I've shared some of her other books in the past  HERE

I love the way Molly got inventive to fill the pages of trickier letters.........

But my favourite illustration is this in the centre pages.........

I think it's delightful, beautifully painted and so clever.

I do hope you enjoyed these midweek photographs and paintings lovelies.
