Unhappily I can't get out much now, with or without a camera, but I thought I'd post something, so that you all know I am still here!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Been a nasty old winter up here, snow, wet, snow, wet and not warm either. Still, I like trees, so have had a rummage around in my archive and found this one!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I know its not spring, and technically its not a tree (though its trying hard to grow up!) but it is a very pretty cotoneaster down the bottom of our garden. It seeded itself a while ago, and is doing very well. Its a bit wild down there, i.e. it doesn't get a lot of attention, but I feel sure the wild life loves it!</span><br />

Architecture is really all round us, and even the blandest shop fronts, for example, can carry amazing architecture above, where old houses have been converted at ground level, but the remaining floors are as originally intended. Even if it is only the exterior which has remained! Sometimes, where big, Victorian rooms have been divided, it has been done without regard to the original decorations. My dentist, for example, practices in a lovely old Victorian house, but the rooms have been divided into very much smaller rooms, and the lovely plaster work round the tops of the original walls suddenly ends at where an interior wall has been put in. Looks a bit odd when you are lying back looking at the ceiling while he prods your teeth!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Anyway, here are my shots of architecture, or man-made creations!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I will just quote from the official info!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Gotham SSm A", "Gotham SSm B", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "gotham ssm a" , "gotham ssm b" , sans-serif;">"Landscape, art and remembrance are beautifully blended together in this Grade I listed building. Visitors are drawn to the bright red brick of this Arts & Crafts masterpiece. Up close, the extraordinary design and decoration both fascinate and overwhelm all who venture up the winding yew tree paths.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "gotham ssm a" , "gotham ssm b" , sans-serif;">Mary Watts was the artistic force behind the creation of Watts Chapel, and she dedicated it to 'the loving memory of all who find rest near its walls, and for the comfort and help of those to whom the sorrow of separation remains.' G F and Mary Watts both rest in Watts Cemetery, as do many other people who have played a role in the Artists' Village over the years.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "gotham ssm a" , "gotham ssm b" , sans-serif;">In 1895 Mary began to run evening Terracotta Classes at Limnerslease, the Wattses' nearby residence and studio. At these classes Mary would teach local villagers how to model tiles from local terracotta clay with the beautiful and symbolic patterns that she had designed to decorate the walls of the Chapel."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It being very windy here at the moment, and quite a lot of the early spring flowers having finished, I took this shot of the early morning sun shining through the tulips I have in a pot. The wind seems to be shredding anything else!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So over at <a href="http://writteninc.blogspot.com/search/label/Thematic%20Photographic">Thematic Photography</a> this week its all things Reflective. Most of my offerings are watery: probably because water offers the most variations, from flat calm to a fair amount of movement, which can give us lovely shots.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Typography has always fascinated me, and I especially love decorated initial letters that you find in old manuscripts. I love to imagine the old scribes enjoying themselves making tiny little inserts of animals, usually doing something extraordinary!</span><br />

This one and the following are from a very old family Bible from my husband's family. Every single capital letter at the beginning of each chapter is decorated. There are illustrations on nearly every page, and it is a fascinating picture of how the Victorians viewed Biblical events.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here is a canalscape, its an old mill, called Clarence Mill, on the banks of the Macclesfield Canal at Bollington. The wharf where coal and cotton were taken on is just under the big tower.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has now been turned into apartments, of a superior nature, and underneath is an excellent cafe, and a shop that does interior design and also reupholsters chairs. And very well they do it too!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been a bit overwhelmed this week with medical matters, but took this photo of the railings in the park in June. Definitely comes under the heading of "needs a coat of paint, but there is no money in the Council money box for things like that dirt"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And this is a Chinese Rowan Tree in our back garden. I found it as a wee seedling among some stones, and thinking it was from our ordinary Rowan tree, decided to grow it on. We realised it wasn't an ordinary Rowan and have decided on it being a Chinese Rowan, kindly brought to us by courtesy of a bird! I suppose it must be about 10 or 12 years old now, and is really spectacular in the Autumn. The birds don't eat the berries until a bit later, though they will strip the tree eventually, having performed some very acrobatic feats to get at the hanging berries.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now there are screens and screens, and I'm sure Carmi and others will think of all the screens we use every day - Phone, tablet, laptop, home PC, TV, and I'm sure there are more. So I took photos of Screens - on my screen! Just to be different!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But two of my favourites are the Italian painted leather one above, and the Japanese one below. I reckon in the draughty houses of years past, a screen was a vital necessity if you didn't want a nasty cold wind down your back! Even in my childhood home, where we had no central heating , we could have done with a screen or two, as each time the living room door was opened, an icy blast came in!! Oh, the chilblains I suffered from!</span></div>

Not just throw them away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I try to recycle as much as I can. At least those old paper carrier bags, plastic bottles and cardboard cereal packets can be used to make something else.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the <a href="http://writteninc.blogspot.com/search/label/Thematic%20Photographic">Thematic Photography</a> this week the theme is DISPOSABLE. So here are things I dispose of but try to recycle. Apart from the wipes, of course, they go in the really and truly disposable bin! </span><br />

Street signs are everywhere, we probably only see them almost unconsciously, but they can be found all over the world!</span><br />

Who sits there? Have they just gone, just coming or what? Over on <a href="http://writteninc.blogspot.com/search/label/Thematic%20Photographic">thematic photography</a> Carmi muses about a single seat, and invites us to post our seating photographs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I took the following photographs when we visited Mallorca a couple of years ago. It was the shadows and the unusual canopy that first intrigued me, and I wondered what on earth was going on. When</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> we came back along the other side, I could see that rows of chairs were being put out fora concert that evening. The whole set up was fascinating, especially the shadows made by the canopy, and the rows of empty seats, except for the man doing all the hard work!</span><br />
