As always the photographs are not mine so please click on individual links below to see each artist/photostream. This mosaic is for a group called My Meme, where each week there is a different theme and normally 12 questions to send you out on a hunt to discover photos to fit your meme. It gives you a chance to see and admire other great photographers’ work out there on Flickr.
The weekly Flickr meme currently has a seasonal theme. This week it is SPRING! Here are my 12 photographs on the subject of spring. (And I still have to catch up on last week’s Winter Meme, too.)

Today I went for a trip on a train pulled by the fantastic new steam loco, Tornado. Yes it is a completely new build but to the original A1 design from 50+ years ago – the last real A1 was scrapped in (from memory) 1966. There is more on the building of Tornado at www.a1steam.com. It is a fantastically big brute of an engine, but incredibly graceful too; and it runs like a dream.
This shows 60163 standing at Platform 1 of London Paddington at the end of today’s tour.

Scan of an A3 collage I did from odds and ends of retail ephemera for the Thing-a-Day Project. Scanned in two sections then joined and tidied up in Photoshop.
Sunrise on Tuesday 9 February taken through my study window. Composite panorama of two shots. For those who know the area this is looking east towards Horsenden Hill (the trees on the horizon at right).
Having seen chrishoneybee’s Thing-a-Day entry from last week and her reference to Ola Helland’s 1 million giraffes project, I thought I should contribute. So here are three giraffes which will shortly be winging their way to Ola. It’s just a bit of fun!
This is part of the roadworks by Pett’s Hill railway bridge not far from my home. This work has been ongoing for over two years as they have had to rebuild the railway bridge and at the same time reconstruct the roadways; and then there are delays because the railway line is the boundary between London Boroughs of Ealing and Harrow, so there are three organisations (Network Rail being the third) providing funding and trying to agree what should be done! An interesting conglomeration of the usual construction site mess.
