People we Meet


Arial: Water nymph, loves to water ski and eat fish finger sandwiches




Mr Hedge: Retired horticulturist, confirmed bachelor and avid chess player




Waaaa! Baby: Just arrived, noisy, needs changing



Isn't it interesting how diverse the people are we meet during our lives? Some we feel we've met before and others may just have arrived, but everyone has an impact. Some enter and exit again almost immediately, as through a revolving door, whilst others, like scenery, linger a while and populate the backdrop of our lives. Eventually, purpose fulfilled all move on to another place.

Tuning in



The last few days have been filled with challenges, both personal and work related. On the whole I'm fairly upbeat and tend to muddle through, but today, along with questioning what I really want in life—I hit a metaphorical wall.

The photos were taken in town at the local market in Groningen, Netherlands and based on a card drawn from a series to: Indulge your senses. My card's purpose changed from taste to view, I suspect to lighten my mood, I needed visual food, as opposed to actual food to satisfy my mental appetite.

Taking Time

























Photos taken on today's walk to the post office in Groningen, in the Northern Netherlands,  with a smile on my face and a spring in my step. 
With mobile camera in one hand and four large envelopes in the other, filled with recent illustrations, with a destination of a few selected publishers.
