Spring Sunshine....

It is true that the sun does not always shine brightly in Yorkshire. And often when it does, it's still very cold. So we decided to go looking for sunshine on a morning out at the Spa Gardens. We looked for everything sunny. Millie enjoyed pretending to be a daffodil (she thought it was hilarious) and we had tea and cake in the Sun Parlour Café, which was even sunny on the inside!

This is a great photography challenge... pick a colour and photograph all sorts of things, no matter how uninteresting they may seem (the couple sitting at the table by the yellow children's chairs thought I was pretty weird I think). As a collage they look great together though...

 

The yellow bike is homage to the fact that the Tour de France will soon be coming through Ripon. We've spotted many a middle aged man in Lycra who probably shouldn't be (on a bike or wearing Lycra - yeeeessh!)

 

The Spa Gardens also had a fabulous exhibition of Alice in Wonderland chainsaw sculptures. Lewis Carroll was said to have spent time in Ripon and was inspired to write the story of Alice falling down the rabbit hole after seeing sink holes here.

Perhaps we'll go on a hunt for Alice inspiration soon...

Challenge yourself to take photographs of a certain colour... or maybe the whole rainbow
