Where I can, I try to use our own images, but occasionally I have to use a stock image to fit the subject of my post. Sometimes we just can’t get close enough to what I want to photograph or there is nothing that quite works. When that happens, I reluctantly turn to Pixabay for one of their free images. These are the images we can’t claim any credit for, other than finding them online:
- Where D has a bad day – cows
- Happy Days – hearts
- But the Prosecco is free, darling – Prosecco bottle
- War of the Weeds – dandelions
- Madness comes to Yorkshire – flower tributes
- The Big Reveal – chrysanthemums
- New Simple Life Mark 2 – all the images belong to Nina Jervis
- The Arrival of Winter – sunflower
- Rats! – blackbird
Not from Pixabay but also not mine:
- A Taste of Village Life – the chippy van. Image taken from www.hookedncooked.co.uk
- A Dry Spell – dancing girl animation. Image taken from www.animated images.org
All the other images throughout the blog are either mine or taken by D. Increasingly D is contributing photos to the blog, demonstrating his usual support of what I do. He has a real eye for framing a good picture – thank you D as ever for everything you do.

And here is my favourite picture of my own:
