More from my recent 'mono square' walk, this time a grid of nature based images... dead leaves caught in a fence; a patch of fern and ivy on a wall; early snowdrops; and some dead leaves still clinging to their tree, that phenomenon known as marcescence.
One of my daughter's favourite books when she was a child was 'Stanley Bagshaw and the 22 Ton Whale' by Bob Wilson. It's about a young Yorkshire lad who had an adventure with a whale in the canal when he was out on a walk. It's all in rhythmic rhyme and has to be read aloud, in a strong Yorkshire accent, which was one of the reasons, I'm sure, that my daughter delighted in it. (I can do a creditable Yorkshire accent, even though I wasn't born and bred here!) Anyway, when young Stanley gets back home for his tea, his mother asks where he's been. 'Oh, I've just been for a bit of a nature walk, Mum' is his reply. I often say that to myself when I come back from a walk with my camera. Just a bit of a nature walk.
