Lost photos – Scarecrows!

The Frog Prince

For some time now I have been transferring all my photos onto my external hard drive and copying them all onto disc, then eventually getting some of them printed up in photo books. I thought that I was doing ok but checking through my old memory cards I found the whole month of May 2011 had been overlooked.

I am so pleased I realized, as some of the missing photos are those shown here. Every two years the village of Wingham in Kent stage a ‘Scarecrow Trail’ which my friend Pauline and I went to in 2011. The scarecrows are just amazing, perfect photo subjects, and we had the chance to look round some of the beautiful gardens in the village which are usually hidden from public view.

The Royal Wedding – 2011

The Archbishop

We had a really lovely afternoon, including tea and cakes on someone’s front lawn, and we promised ourselves that we would go again the next time this event was staged. To my disappointment we missed it this year, I never heard a thing about it (and I work in a Library!) and only found out that it had been on when one of the customers in the Library told me how lovely this years event had been!

I will make sure I look out for this in 2015, it really is a lovely idea, and makes a very interesting day out.

Finally summer has arrived in this part of the country, and guess who manages to get a horrible chest infection, which so far has lasted over a week, but is thankfully now getting better each day.

I haven’t been anywhere much to take photos, but I realized that I do have quite a lot of flower photos, and if I don’t share them in the summer, they won’t get shared at all.

I am doing a photography course this Thursday evening in Sandwich with a professional photographer, which I am really looking forward to, I hope to learn a lot. I will let you know how it goes, and will share the photos I take if they are any good!
