Guest Photographer ~ BT the crafty gardener

WINDOWS (& wheels!)

These pictures were sent in by my mum, 'BT', formerly known as Bakewell Tart and otherwise familiar as The Crafty Gardener because of her blog, named for her two favourite pasttimes gardening and crafts.

"having a smoke break at Council Offices" (Milan)

"another courtyard, see lady up at the window" (Milan)

"Galway boat" (complete with skulls in the windows!) by BT's husband Jim!

...and just in keeping with the skulls theme, I spotted this on the road myself!

I hope you enjoyed the 'guest spot' by BT, check out her own blog as it's filled with fascinating tales and photographs from her life, gardening and crafting in their own wonderful home in Ireland.

Don't forget to 'follow' my blog if you're watching it!

Bolsover Castle ~ 13th March 2009 (post 2)

ARCHES

Post 2 of 2 from our day trip to Bolsover Castle, this time some of the fabulous arches we found on our explorations!

My favourite shot of the day, this girl simply lost in the atmosphere of the place

The impressive arched doorway to the riding stables

Doorway 'arches' among the ruins, one after another...

Some of the incredible scenery we saw, through another arch, naturally!

A pair of children posing for their parent's photograph, 

draws ones attention to the sheer size of the arches

That was my latest Enchanted Glimpses... time to show me yours perhaps?

Bolsover Castle ~ 13th March 2009

WINDOWS

A wonderful day out at Bolsover Castle (post 1 of 2) to show our American guest 'Q' some English heritage. We had a lovely time, the scenery up there is amazing and the castle itself, from the ruins to the riding stables and the pleasure 'keep' itself are well worth the time to wander at leisure.

You can see the rest of the pictures if you like over on Flickr as usual if you've a mind to.

Q taking in the magnificent scenery

The pergola at the very top of the 'pleasure palace'

Beautiful old wooden windows

Glorious sunlit shot in one of the many decorated rooms

Hope you enjoyed a few more 'enchanted glimpses'. Don't forget to send me yours for inclusion!
