| Welcoming in the New Year, and saying 'goodbye' to 2010. Newcastle ^ |
As you no doubt know by now, I love taking photos... In this blog, I've included a photo I've taken during each month of 2010, along with words by Sara Coleridge. Hope you enjoy!
The Months

January brings the snow,
Makes our feet and fingers glow.
February brings the rain,
January brings the snow,
Makes our feet and fingers glow.

March brings breezes loud and shrill,
stirs the dancing daffodil.

Scatters daises at our feet.

Skipping by their fleecy damns.

Fills the children's hand with posies.

Then the harvest home is borne.

Fresh October brings the pheasants,
Then to gather nuts is pleasant.
Dull November brings the blast,

Then the leaves are whirling fast.
 |
| Cemetery, November 2010 |
Chill December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire, and Christmas treat.
And finally, an extra one, below, of Newcastle Quayside, taken in October
