Photographs of mine rescuers always fascinate me. This colourised close-up from Monk Bretton, Barnsley is compelling in its detail and impact.

Love the work of George Large (b1936) because of the way he portrays working people. Stanley Spencer & cubist influenced.

Trees once bare in winter are daring you to ignore them now.
Before the pink confetti falls, take time to notice the fleeting beauty of blossom where you are.
