Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever seen one? Maybe not, but there is one sort of ‘ghost’ we can all see: the ghost sign. I’m not a dedicated ghost sign hunter, but I do like to spot them and always take a photo when I do.

When was the last time you used some form of transport? Car, bike, bus, train, plane … Most of us can’t get by without at least one of these. And wherever you go in the world, while the choice of transport might vary, people are on the move.

What is better than seeing a beautiful landscape captured in a photograph? Often, seeing the same landscape twice. A still lake, or if we’re lucky a still river, will allow us to double up the scene and often double the beauty. But we aren’t restricted to water when we look for reflective surfaces to enhance our images or give them a different twist.

There’s a lot to be said for not knowing where you want to go, especially when travelling. Whether in a city or in the country, whether somewhere shaped by man or in wild places, there’s a particular sense of anticipation as you follow a path without knowing where it is taking you.

Whatever the weather, when travelling it would be a waste of a day to stay inside. And with the right clothing it’s always possible to get out and explore. I want to show how bad weather needn't throw you off course when travelling. How with the right attitude and a bit of flexibility, even a stormy day can be fun!

Not all pink is anaemic, it can often be ‘rich and glowing’. I’m not a fan of washed-out pastels in general, but pink doesn’t have to be washed out. Hot pinks pop, salmon pinks glow, even delicate pinks shimmer.

Once upon a time all photos were black and white. With the advent of colour photography we had a choice and many of us make that choice according to subject matter. Others meanwhile prefer to stick only to one or the other medium. But some subjects are naturally black and white.

For many of us of a certain age, it’s impossible to hear the word ‘mellow’ without immediately thinking ‘yellow’. Yellow can be rather harsh. But at the paler, creamier end of the spectrum it can be beautifully mellow.

While it is true that each of us can get something different from a picture, I think it is also the case with words. We often bring our own interpretation to them, do we not?

May in England has been marvellous this year! Lots of warm sunshine and almost no rain. Not so great for farmers and gardeners perhaps, but wonderful for getting out and about. Our parks have been full of picnicking families, ball games and even sunbathers!
