The best things about Trinity by judithg

The best things about Trinity

Crocuses and Porters with bowler hats. Last year the weather was too cold for a really good crocus display behind Trinity but today it is looking magnificent. About 30 trees have been executed along The Backs - some I think to make room for bigger neighbours but it's still a lot to go at the same time.
Still desperately trying to catch up on work and not making great progress.
Monet, is that you?

i LOVE this... it's like Spring is in the air... beautiful!
February 21st, 2012  
Lovely shot
February 21st, 2012  
Beautiful Spring shot! Have you ever seen the crocus display at Kew! A really magical experience it lasts for about a week!!!
February 21st, 2012  
@moirab Never been to Kew - would love to go though!
February 21st, 2012  
A really cool shot Judith!
February 21st, 2012  
Beautiful, so spring! Love the pov and he's curious what you are doing...LOL

Beauty! The gentleman adds to it most definitely, fantastic :)
February 21st, 2012  
Fav! So beautiful!!! Like a painting!
February 21st, 2012  
wow, great capture, love the gentleman with the bowler in the background
February 21st, 2012  
Great capture, love the blanket of Crocuses
February 21st, 2012  
lovely shot, and the touch of the bowler hatted gent looking in your direction makes it!
February 21st, 2012  
This photo has a very nostalgic feel to it! I like how the trees and the grass line frame the gentleman.
February 21st, 2012  
One day a camel...the next so traditionally English! This is fabulous and so much more intersting with the passing porter......the rise in temps and a bit of sun has opened the crocuses today......a def fave Judith!
February 21st, 2012  
Really pretty. Love how you';ve captured the man in the background
February 21st, 2012  
Fav of favs. A total winner of a shot. The colors are super and so is everything else.
February 21st, 2012  
Lovely shot, Fav. Reminds me strongly of an old painting.:)
February 21st, 2012  
Beautiful Judith. fav
February 21st, 2012  
It does look like an old painting. It's the background. Has that old canvas look. Perfect timing catching the man, just adds to that timelessness, nice to see the crocus.
February 21st, 2012  
I think this picture beats work any day! Well done!
February 21st, 2012  
absolutely lovely!
February 21st, 2012  
It reminds me of a song - 'And along came a bloke in a bowler which he lifted and scratched 'is 'ead' I think it's from Right said Fred (not the modern one). Love the shot.
February 21st, 2012  
Absolutely beautiful. Fabulous composition, DOF and colours.
February 21st, 2012  
Judith, thank you for your comments today. Your photos are so wonderful. We're back in Cambridge some time in May - if you were around for half an hour it would be great to meet for a coffee.
February 21st, 2012  
Sorry re the tree execution. Years ago we came upon a tree graveyard on our hike...looked like a battleground. It took a while before I could go back. Since then, I am looking at it as "it's a done deal and you might as well enjoy what is here. And the view of the ocean improved with the clear cut" I love the way the crocusi and the man seem to be dialoguing
February 21st, 2012  
@cgould Oh yes - definitely!!
February 21st, 2012  
Great pov and lovely crocus! Fav....how very English :)
February 21st, 2012  
Cool!
February 21st, 2012  
I love that the focus is not on the man and that he's merely part of the background. This is definitely a fav!
February 21st, 2012  
Lovely shot , made human by the bowler hatted figure in the background.
February 21st, 2012  
What a great shot!! Really loving this!!
February 21st, 2012  
Wow that a display! Love the look of the porter - he's probably thinking 'oh blimey that womans back from her holidays...there'll be no peace now....'
February 21st, 2012  
Love it!
February 21st, 2012  
@fueast That's only a small part - I might try and take the proper display if the sun's out tomorrow. He was smiling so at least he wasn't thinking, 'That dog's on the flowers!'
February 21st, 2012  
@judithg refering to Monty presumably?
February 21st, 2012  
@fueast You've been working hard today - very quiet - just not quite quiet enough! I'm supposed to be doing a VAT return....
February 21st, 2012  
@judithg aha you missed me! Yes I have worked hard today. Really good day for a change - nearly finished draft 1 of the review, interesting meeting at the Council. You feel worse because of the contrast to last week. I feel better cos last week was awful!
February 21st, 2012  
@fueast You're right there - and then there's the piles of washing and the people STILL messing about re the group travel I'm supposed to have finished organising for now etc etc. Good job on the review - references - yuck!!
February 21st, 2012  
Lovely spring pic - and loving Mr Bowler.
February 21st, 2012

February 21st, 2012  
This is terrific. You POV is perfect. Love it.
February 21st, 2012  
I wonder what the porter thought as he walked past..." not that wild women again,should she not be taking pictures of bicycles. "...lol..take care, glad you had a good half term holiday...
