Weekly Stills: Brown


1. My Poppet, climbing a dirt pile. She's the Queen of the Dirt Pile!
2. Deep in earth.
3. The light falls on her feet. Socks and gumboots were quickly discarded.
4. A caught feather.
5. A marsh reed.
6. A wooden angel at my desk.
7. Pen and writing book, at my desk. I write differently, long hand. (And I don't just mean illegibly, although that too.) The words seem to come from a different place. I write differently at my desk than I do slouched in bed...
8. Quince blossom from the garden.

Joining with the lovely Em from The Beetleshack for weekly stills. Once I shot the photos of my Poppet in the dirt pile, I couldn't resist a 'brown' theme for the week, celebrating the rich tones of earth and wood, one of the delights of winter.

    1. For sheer happiness you just can't beat dirt! (Well, okay, sand and sea is pretty good!)

    1. I think brown is very underrated! The desk was my great grandfathers and I love it - although it has a lot of secret locks and I keep locking myself out of all the draws!
