Leighton as Wendy Darling.
Imagine Wendy a grown-up, she wants to go back to Neverland because she wants to see Peter again, so she uses Pixie Dust to try to fly.
A candid street portrait captured in hard afternoon light. The contrast between the man’s imposing figure and the tiny dog tucked under his arm creates a quiet moment of humour and companionship within the everyday flow of the street market scene. Shot in black and white to emphasise texture, expression, and light.

I know that I should have tried such techniques before, but for some reason this was my first attempt at a photo merge. Two bracketed shots were taken of the priory, one over exposed and one under. Given the time of day and the fading light I feel that this merge is a true representation of the light at the time.
I should consider myself lucky to live just a couple of miles from Nostell. It is a location and estate that we take for granted, but a most worthwhile visit. This house was built in 1733 on the site of a much older priory and house and since 1953 it has been in the care of the National Trust. I'm not particularly interested in old furniture, however for those interested the house has a superb collection of Chippendale furniture that was made for the Winn family (the long time owners of the house and estate).

Sorry I am not being active lately, best wishes for everyone´s week and enjoy the beauty of being alive dear friends :)
As many of you have pointed out, I have tortured and abused Peeps in the most vile ways. Let it be said, I did so with the purest of intents, in the name of science, and let us be done with the incriminations. I have tried my best to study these squishy little Easter creatures to find out what makes them so appealing. They are cute. They have longevity, with the power to reappear year, after year, after bloody year. They are slowly taking on every colour in a sixty-four box of Crayola crayons, which as a side note are quite edible, even though one should not eat their crayons. If you find yourself shipwrecked at sea, enough of them tied together could be used as a flotation device, until you are rescued or eaten by a shark; the shark having the good sense to eat only what is edible, leaving the peeps raft behind. As one last experiment, I prepared a salad and before I could finish off my greens, I doused it with my favourite ranch dressing......still, it is totally inedible. Sigh.....
Disclaimer: No Peeps were harmed in the taking of these images. Well....except for the one I hacked apart with the knife AND the one I squished with a brick AND maybe this one drowned by ranch dressing, BUT no others.....trust me.....
Happy Easter, Everyone :-))

Basildon Park is a country house situated 2 miles (3 kilometres) south of Goring-on-Thames and Streatley in Berkshire, between the villages of Upper Basildon and Lower Basildon. It is owned by the National Trust and is a Grade I listed building. The house was built between 1776 and 1783 for Sir Francis Sykes and designed by John Carr in the Palladian style at a time when Palladianism was giving way to the newly fashionable neoclassicism. Thus, the interiors are in a neoclassical "Adamesque" style.
Never fully completed, the house passed through a succession of owners. In 1910 it was standing empty and in 1914, it was requisitioned by the British Government as an army convalescent hospital. It was again sold in 1928 and quickly sold again. In 1929, following a failed attempt to dismantle and rebuild the house in the US, it was stripped of many of its fixtures and fittings and all but abandoned.
During World War II, the house was again requisitioned and served as a barracks, a training ground for tanks, and finally a prisoner of war camp—all activities unsuited to the preservation of an already semi-derelict building. In 1952, a time when hundreds of British country houses were being demolished, it was said of Basildon Park "to say it was derelict, is hardly good enough, no window was left intact and most were repaired with cardboard or plywood."[1]
Today, Basildon Park is as notable for its mid-twentieth-century renaissance and restoration, by Lord and Lady Iliffe, as it is for its architecture. In 1978, the Iliffes gave the house, together with its park and a large endowment for its upkeep, to the National Trust in the hope that "The National Trust will protect it and its park for future generations to enjoy.

This was a very special moment for us at Birnie loch this morning. We have hand fed robins before but always put our hand on the ground for them to feed off. On this occasion this little guy flew very close to us and sat on some branches looking at us. Wendy held her hand out and he flew right on to it. He sat quite happily eating seed. When someone passed by he flew off but returned again several times. A fantastic experience especially for Wendy for the trust this little guy showed in her. (made explore #1 on 26/11/08)
Slimbridge Wetland Centre is often referred to as the birthplace of modern conservation. The founder, Sir Peter Scott, was the son of Antarctic explorer Captain Scott. In 1946 Peter set up the Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge as a centre for science & conservation. There are now 9 Wetland Centres in the UK open for the public to enjoy nature.
Excellent places to visit to see captive birds from all over the world plus thousands of wild birds.
No words could describe the feeling that came over me the first time a chickadee delicately landed on my hand at the Mer Bleue Bog.

markham trusts his daddy.
this image is slightly underexposed - captured on a very bright sunny day - but i love it nevertheless. it speaks volumes to me.
This was an experience while on holiday in Scotland unlike any other when the wild birds trust you sufficiently to take food from you. Robins I know about but Coal Tits demonstrating such trust and boldness! :)
I particularly like this shot having managed to capture the activity of the other bird in the background, just a shame the wings were out of the frame (uncropped image).
Special moments!
