I am still taking time off to work on a few other things. The weather has been brutal so not many photographs lately. Hopefully I will be back in good form in the New Year!
In the meantime I wouldn’t miss Leanne Cole’s Monochrome Madness – the last of the year! I wish all my blogging friends and supporters the happiest of seasons, a merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year with

sweet songs of joy


and one of my favourite carols in memory of a little drummer boy. Missing your beat!

Haha! >>> a VERY late Happy Christmas to you, Cybele – and I love the top picture here, I love that little dab of pale colour. Hope 2016 is good for you. Adrian

Fabulous pictures as always, Cybele! I particularly like the candle shining light into the darkness, and your brother, he’s a good looking guy! 😁
