This is stunning photography! I wish I had taken this photograph and wish even more I owned these ponies!

Love this photograph. (As soon as I decide on a new theme of work I see photographs that already “do it”!)

You just don’t see paintings like this every day! From the moment I had an email from Ika with her link I just spent over an hour looking at all the work. It is very interesting - it is VERY good!

Love this artist - he specialises in Body Art. His painted Animal Hands are just fabulous!

Heading North to Yellowstone Park through Montana and Idaho, West to Oregon,
down the coast to California across Death Valley and back through Arizona, Utah and Colorado.
5000 miles with a dog to keep you company... Lucky for Ollie, he was Pete Kelly's dog!

This is a series of landscapes taken in the American West, starting in Kansas City, Missouri.

At the Atkinson Art Gallery in Southport you can see the Annual Open Exhibition of Photography - its a top event! My two favourites - Rikki Oneill's "Cruella" and Dianne Owen's "Red Heart" have really inspired me. Simple and "there". Thanks.

The opening of the 61st Annual Open Photographic Exhibition was held today at the Atkinson art Gallery, Southport. Congratulations to all the young people who entered the competition! It's great to see such talent at this early stage of their photographic careers! One such young photographer, Katie Kolita, was very proud of her three pictures that are on display. You can also see the winner of the Young Photography section here - along with Katie's Guinea Piggyback in more detail!

Destandosi un mattino da sogni inquieti, Mario Pischedda si trovo tramutato, nel suo letto, in una pecora domestica...

My New VIDEO posted on YouTube by Mario
(Testing Testing - how to get that vid off YouTube and right in to my Blog)

Mario Pischedda asks "can u make a human mouth only 4 the black cavity?" - Yes it is a pleasure! In return I send him one of my new "Expressionist Horses" pictures. He will post the two picture on his Blog I think. http://mariopischeddainmovement.blog.tiscali.it/

Manchester Pride is the gay and lesbian festival held annually over the August Bank Holiday in Manchester. The atmosphere there was fantastic! Being early at the assembly point of the parade it was a great opportunity to take photos and soak up the carnival atmosphere. The colourful costumes - and the great characters who wore them made for a very happy day! Thanks!

Liverpool BATALA Community Samba Band were playing at Notting Hill Carnival last weekend - surely the highlight of the year! They met up with other Batalians who came from all over the world - "An epic weekend!" Arrived on Saturday -a four and a half hour non stop parade - and then back in Liverpool on Monday for the 800th birthday pageant on Tuesday morning. If thats not enough they played again in Hope St before and after the fireworks Tues evening! Exhausted? Wow - but so happy! heh Patsy! - and thanks to the photographer who took those fab pics at Notting Hill!
