Season’s Greetings

I thank everyone who has visited this blog over the last year and especially those of you who leave a comment. I wish you all a happy, safe, and healthy 2023 in which we can all create more blogging memories. I haven't blogged a lot on here this year simply because I haven't been out of Cornwall that often so most of my blogging takes part on Cornwall in Colours. Please join me there.

winter sunlight

Winter is all about light and contrast. Winter sunlight is always changing, being weak in November but stronger by February. The sun tends to be lower throughout the day providing good light. Dusk and Dawn can be longer too. In photography look for strong contrasts between subjects and colours. Backlit leaves and flowers, coloured stems of shrubs, warm winter skies and snow. Long shadows. Sunlight sparkling on snow or frost…

sunlight on alice on a winter’s day

I wanted to begin the month with a scene all too familar to me as I look out of my bedroom window. The green pastures of Trink Hill where the Trink Dairy Holstein Friesians and Herefords graze providing some of the creamiest milk you can find. On a typical winter afternoon with dark clouds moving in from the west, sunlight appears and lights up the Cornish scene all too briefly.
