About Me
- Linda aka Elemobe
- One evening in August 2006, I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Elements, loved it and for the next 3 months, was totally absorbed learning how to use such fun software . I quickly realised that whilst editing can do a lot for not so good photos (polite term for "crap")it was actually better to be creative with good images - and so my love of photography was re-ignited. This Blog is part of my creative journey. I have a lot to learn but the motivation of getting out there to tick off the themes gives me good practice. Please look through and feel free to comment, which I welcome and appreciate. Thanks for stopping by.

Lucky you, getting snow! In Devon, we got about 10 seconds' worth of flakes over Easter! What a view though, it's wonderful!
I have to go look up the word Fell. I've read it before but don't really know the meaning.
Pretty scene.
Julie, sorry about that - sometimes words are so common place locally, one forgets that it is not an international word.
Fell simply means hill. Used in Cumbria and Yorkshire, not sure it is used anywhere else in the country. This picture is of Rydal Water, and that is Rydal Fell behind - but the peak is High Pike.
Another local term is "Beck" which means a stony bed river.
Helen, Yes, a little bit of snow of the tops this year, but a bit of a climb to be in it.
My sister lives in Devon (Torquay), so I often get an update of the weather - warmer than here :-)
Yeah, probably a bit warmer down here than for you guys! It's still a wee bit cool in a morning (or at least at 7am when I leave), but leaving work and even walking home at 6:30, it was mild enough to work up a slight sweat and unbutton my coat!
Talk about a small world! (I mooched a book from someone in West Virginia, through BookMooch, and she had studied in Dartmouth for a few months, in 2003).
A lovely view which you have captured perfectly.
Stunning! The water is beautiful agains the snowcapped mountain.
Breath-taking scenery, with all the elements of a beautiful landscape. Surprised to see the snow - I sent that to you! LOL
