What I wanted to do was to get the boat sat on top of the pole, I couldn’t go back any further without going over the side of the bridge, and I couldn’t move in the right direction to get the boat to line up. As it happens, I still like the picture, very much.Continue reading “294/366 Photographic Opportunities”

It’s been a strange day. Mostly I got everything done that I planned. The only trouble was whenever I sat down, I wanted to go to sleep. I sat down at about 2PM, and decided to just give in. I slipped in and out, and finally surfaced at about 4. Even at the weekend, IContinue reading “293/366 An Afternoon nap”

On my walk around Gosport today, I went to a part where I don’t normally go. No particular reason, it’s just not on my route. It’s along the waterfront at Gosport Marina, not Haslar Marina, the other one. It has been a gloriously sunny day, it was far too nice to stay in. I decidedContinue reading “292/366 Is this Gosport?”

I’ve just finished reading this months issue of country walking. There was an article about pieces of art placed in naturally beautiful locations. I acknowledge that I haven’t visited any of them. If I haven’t visited any of them, how can I possibly comment on them? Can I even ask the question is it appropriateContinue reading “291/366 Outside Art”

I caught this picture behind Trinity Church out on my afternoon walk. I’d had a good morning, clearing the birdseed out that the messy so and so’s chuck everywhere, but they are such a joy to watch that I don’t really mind. I had a bit of a stint on the microscopes, they are allContinue reading “290/366 Saturday”

I think I’ve realised the mistake I have been making with this photo. I’ve tried it several times, and although the reflection is excellent, it’s not as true as I can make it, because of the buildings in the upper part. I need to try it from a slightly different perspective. Learning something about aContinue reading “289/366 The Week”

It isn’t something that I’ve given any thought about. But I am excited to find that Gosport has several Sites of Special Scientific Interest. It’s quite likely that in the past, I’ve been near one. But, I’ve never thought of it before. It’s another positive thing for which Gosport should be known. I had aContinue reading “288/366 SSSI’s”

The picture is of one the Clarence Gates at the western end of the high street. I managed to get the sun through the glass globe at the top of the gate. I made a slight change to my route this morning, so that I walked the length of Spring Garden Lane. I am tryingContinue reading “287/366 Out and about”

Frustratingly none of the pictures I took on this morning’s walk really inspired me, this is perhaps the closest. It’s the blue in the sky and the water and the green of the grass. When I was at college I did geology. I’d never done it before. But I haven’t forgotten how much I enjoyedContinue reading “286/366 My Brain”

From the picture it’s obvious that there were some clouds about, but the blue sky was as striking a blue as the grass is green. It’s just sad that the tree is a victim of the winds over the weekend. The weather can really dictate how the walk feels. It was quite cloudy as IContinue reading “285/366 A bright, clear sky”
