Sherborne In Bloom - Cheap Street In Bloom

Sherborne Castle, home to Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618 (beheaded)), a favourite of Elizabeth I and one of the founders of modern America

Saturday 23 June 2007 - Cheap Street In Bloom

At last Cheap Street is starting to bloom!

Most of the shops have hanging baskets and some also have window boxes. Photographing the baskets can be difficult because they sometimes don't show up well enough against the contrast of the buildings, but get the right angle and the picture can be composed to show the spirit of Sherborne In Bloom.

I went shopping this morning and took these happy snappies:

These photos show that the shopkeepers are making the effort and this is what we want to capture.

The Half Moon is now returning to last year's glory. Can someone go and get a shot on a nice day with people sitting outside drinking beer? Today was raining

so no custom!

Even the banks are anxious to show how well they spend their customers' money...

See you next Tuesday, usual time, usual place.

About This Blog

Sherborne Bradford Abbas Camera Club are supporting 'Sherborne In Bloom 2007', our town's entry in this year's prestigous Britain In Bloom competition.

Members of the club will be roaming the town taking photographs of the gardens, containers, shops, pubs, restaurants, allotments, open spaces, private spaces - in fact, anywhere where they can find spectacular blooms!

The photographic entries will be displayed in the town in judging week (mid July).

This blog is primarily for the photographers to keep in touch with one another and to monitor progress as we shoot the town's flowers!
