It's exhibition time again

If you're in the Grantchester area this weekend, why not drop by at our exhibition and say hello?  Even if you don't like any of the pictures, there will be plenty of tea and cake available...

Grantchester Exhibition: All over bar the shouting

Back at work now, and the Easter "holiday" is a fading memory.  Friday was spent setting up the exhibition, followed by three full days open to the general public.  The weather wasn't especially kind to us, so the number of visitors was down on what we had hoped - especially Monday, which was very quiet.  It was great that Harriet was able to join us too, and her exquisite textile art was much admired by all the visitors.

Back at work now, unfortunately...

Grantchester Exhibition

There is an exhibition in Grantchester Village Hall over the Easter weekend, and I am joining forces with three other photographers, a textile artist, a jeweller and a painter.  Much of the last month has been spent preparing for the exhibition, which explains the pitiful number of entries on the blog during this period!

CCC outing to Grantchester

On a beautiful late Spring/early Summer evening, a bunch of CCC members went for a walk through Grantchester Meadows. There were, of course, the usual punts and canoeists (the example below looking particularly smug, as one of his colleagues had just fallen in!).



The insect life was abundant - especially damsel flies and mayflies. Being a camera club, people lined up in order to "have a go" at photographing them. Ann had the right idea, however: one of the mayflies had got itself stuck in a spider's web, and consequently wasn't going anywhere!



As the sun went down, the view through the trees towards Trumpington was amazing ...



... as was the amount of washing up which hadn't been done at the Orchard Tea Rooms. The results of a day's dedicated consumption were piled high, and the local chaffinch population was having a great time as a result. Being a truly dedicated photographer, I spent some time taking pictures of the devastation while others went down the pub. Outrageous!
