Today was a chance for Jenny and I to catch up. It was pleasant walking conditions and we decided, as time was tight, to stick to roads rather than across countryside. We did a bit of window shopping at Kilver Court, the designer outlet on the outskirts of town. They always have fantastic plant displays...
We came across the cat shown above who was guarding the recycling with attitude! He didn't move, even when we got close to photograph...
Although it is now September, there were still plenty of beautiful flowers on display, although some were looking a bit past their sell-by-date!
By the time we arrived at Shepton Market, the setting up was well on its way. People have been taking advantage of the free parking on a Friday - there were few spaces left when I turned up to open up the One Craft Gallery at 10am! It certainly encourages better attendance at the market which can only be good for the businesses in the town. Just wish we could have free parking everyday of the week, like other local towns...
I have a thing about doors - I find them intriguing and mysterious - what lies beyond? What opportunities do they hold? They often appear in my artworks and sometimes, when I do complete abstracts, a doorway manages to creep in! As Ralph Waldo Emerson said "Be an opener of doors." In other words say yes to life and happiness will follow...
Here are a selection of doors and their surrounds that I photographed around town this morning...
