Barbara, first of all, I need to say that I found you via your insightful, and spot-on, comment you made on "The Friande's" blog review of Hardy's "Far From the Madding Crowd." I just completed a long comment too, that is much in the same vein as yours. I adore all things Hardy, and believe that he was a tremendous writer, and an even better poet.
That being said, I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering your blog. Like you, I am an amateur photographer too. I largely do landscapes, and use some of my photography to illustrate my literary musings on my blog. I love this black and white photograph you've posted. I probably convert about 50% of my digital photography to black and white.
Anyway, I am glad that I found you and your blog. I look forward to spending some time here looking at your offerings.
By the bye, I love the photograph of your bookshelf that you are using as your header. We have many titles in common. In fact, I am desperately trying to find a copy of Ted Hughes' translation of Aeschylus' "The Oresteia." I have heard that it is magnificent. Cheers! Chris
