Daddy a pirate ship! I was on my way to the library to return a couple of books. I went past the Maritime Museum. There are all sorts of small ships and even a submarine. As I went past this boat a little boy calls out with excitement, ”Daddy it’s a pirate ship”. Dezzie Pirate … Continue reading Hiatus Photography – A Pirate Ship

Library in a Digital Age
I was uncertain walking through your doors. My parochial heart remembered silence and books. Vaulted ceilings majestic. Rarely visited. Much loved. Your world has since moved on.
