We went out for a meal on Monday evening. To the Jolly Roger. I had the Mixed Grill. It was very nice, we all enjoyed our food. After the meal, we went for a brief stroll along the water front. We were just about to turn around when we saw this Brittany Ferry. I don’tContinue reading “1686 – Guillaume De Norman”

Tonight I managed to get to one of the between-seasons Tuesday evening walk arranged by the Camera Club. Tonight’s walk was around the allotments that includes the ones run by the wife of Steve, one of the club members. The different style of allotments really needs to be seen to be believed. One holder growsContinue reading “1685 – The Allotment”

I was really glad that I managed to not only get out for a morning walk but also joined the #Breakfastclub which was nice. The walk itself was very pleasant T-Shirt & shorts weather. No wind. I’m thinking that it is getting near time to do another Vlog. There will be some changes. IK’m notContinue reading “1684 – That was the change that was”

About this time last year, we went to Thursley Moat, a nature reserve nearer to Guildford than us, with the objective of photographing dragonflies. I can assert with a high degree of confidence that photographing dragonflies without the right equipment, and lot of patience and even more time is pretty much impossible (the right equipmentContinue reading “1683 – Thursley Moat”

This picture is there for two reasons; It is a living creature, it is not a spider. I do have a picture of a spider in my collection. It’s one I caught with a glass. I had to get the lawn more out. To do that I had to move a couple of sets ofContinue reading “1681 – They’re at it again”

This walk will be a bit different because I have to organise it for The Gosport Camera Club. The plan is through the summer quiet period before the 25/26 season kicks off, I think in early September the club will suggest a few activities, including a number of walks. The next walk (not mine) willContinue reading “1680 – Another Walk”

There were two Egrets at the Cockleponds this morning. One of them a bit nervous, and flew off when I was within about 20 yards. The others seemed much less bothered and let me get about 5 yards away from it. Quite lovely. Definitely my reward for getting up for the morning walk. Parts ofContinue reading “1679 – A Walk”

There’s something about trains that I love. Pretty much any train is very photogenic (this is all my opinion of course). It doesn’t matter if they are in motion or stationary. If I’m on a station platform, and there are no barriers in the way, I enjoy walking the length of the platform. It’s justContinue reading “1678 – What is it about trains?”

I’m reading an article about a chap called Paulo Freire. Paulo was a Brazilian educator. He developed a “philosophy of education” . Based on his experiences of working with people in Brazil who had very low literacy rates. My very simple understanding is there there is conflict in conversation. Paulo talked in terms of oppressorsContinue reading “1677 – Sparking a discussion”
