It's a sickness. Lovely Daughter #2 may have inherited the door gene, too. In Cambridge on a separate visit, she photographed some of the same doors I did!

You are a photographer extraordinaire! (What camera do you use on these jaunts?)

p.s. "Back door, bins and bike"...and Blue!
Certainly have 'enjoyed the tour'! It has been an amazing, creative and unique view of England. What a treat - thanks! LOVED the doors, and your wonderful artistic eye was icing on the cake! (I have an old digital camera and wanting to upgrade -- what is your camera, and do you like?) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI use a Lumix 10x Optical Zoom? At least that's what it says on the camera case. It also says a lot of other stuff....And yes, I like, but I am totally untrained and would love to take a photo course to learn how to really put the camera through its paces.
