Paula’s Thursday Special asked for portrait and landscape photos of the same motive. As I didn’t just want to crop old photos I took my camera for a walk, first in the vineyards around here and then in the local park Hermannshof, famed for its horticultural displays.

These photos are all from the castle gardens of Schwetzingen, Germany. Taken on a pre-spring afternoon.

Elephants – or rather their shape and form – are often seen in our streets. Here is a small collection.

Although Paula’s Thursday Special “pick a word” allows participants to pick only one word out of the five suggestions, half the fun is trying to find a photo for all five – and if there is something connecting them, all the better.
All my photos are from our British holiday a while back.
Branching: a directional sign at the canal in Birmingham.
Vigilant: a part of a monument on Sunderland’s sculpture trail about a father who every morning scours the sea for his missing son.
Pomp: A statue of Queen Victoria on Victoria Place in Birmingham.
Hooked: A seagull hooked by a fishing line around its legs.
Continual: Shakespeare’s coat of arms, as displayed on the house in Stratford-upon-Avon believed to be his birthplace. Not a kind of quill (without the feather) as I always thought but a spear as a pun on his name.
