Christchurch Stay

I've just had a short holiday break down in Christchurch.




 You don't have to wander far in many parts of the city to see that even the 'normal' looking things like a sign for a walk, or a footpath, are not quite 'normal' yet.
















But there were still lots of treasures to find, these anemones and this pot both in a friend's garden.














And I find there are some patterns that always attract my eye: shadows on paths, and the infinite variation in colours and shapes in woodpiles.


 My friend and I realised we both seem to have a fascination with stones- perhaps harking back to Celtic origins.

And to finish- a 'bridge to nowhere' in a changing garden. 

Shadows, woodpiles, stones and bridges- themes I seem to return to...
