After a couple of weeks of having my morning walks disrupted. I must admit it was a bit difficult last week to get up and go for any walks, I just didn’t feel like it. It was a case of I need to do some exercise. This mornings walk was a different experience. I wasContinue reading “717 – The Morning Walk”

Here’s a thing about YouTube. Why would you post a video on YouTube and not want as many people as possible to watch it? So, you put up a video, how do you get that to happen? It’s all to do with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). That’s “tuning” the video that you post, so thatContinue reading “716 – YouTube”

When it comes to photography, I am neither adventurous or inventive. I take a picture, and if I am lucky, it is a good picture. I might even take a picture deliberately that turns out to be not bad. I think the header picture for this post is one of my “not too bad” pictures.Continue reading “715 – Frustration”

It was strange today. I arrived at the waterfront just as the Normandie was coming in through the harbour entrance. The thing was, it took me a bit of time to realise that it was the Normandie – it just looked a lot bigger than what I recalled. It took me by surprise. I supposeContinue reading “714 – Lunch time walks”

It hasn’t been the easiest week for morning walking I’ve pretty much had to force myself to get up for the walk. The frustrating thing is that once I am up and out, I enjoy the walk. So, it isn’t the walk so much as the getting up. But then I do get up. TheContinue reading “713 – Out for a walk”

It was a real struggle to get up for the morning walk. IK really didn’t feel like it. I usually make a joke about my brain and my body disagreeing about going for a walk, but they were both in unison this morning. Strangely though, I did manage to get up and go for aContinue reading “712 – Tired”

I changed my route by only a few yards. I wanted to have a look at the trees near the Cockle ponds. They are out in the open. Apparently, trees that are exposed to the wind develop their roots a little bit differently, building stronger roots on the side from the direction of the prevailingContinue reading “711 – Nature”

There are a number of channels that I follow on YouTube. Mostly, I have found these accidentally. Others through things like the magazines such as B&W Photography. I’m going to write about Teo Crawford, he is based in Austria, he releases a video about once a week. If you were to take a look atContinue reading “710 – YouTube”

It’s nearly a week since I last went for my usual walks. My intention in the morning is to go, if I am awake in time and feel OK. I probably won’t do my usual full walk which in the morning is usually around three miles. I’ll see how I feel, as the tiredness hasn’tContinue reading “709 – It’s Nearly a week”

I want to do a couple of posts about photographs taken by other photographers. You know I receive B&W photography every month, I make a point of reading it from cover to cover every month. I quite often talk about how a particular article may make me stop and think. But, I have rarely (indeed,Continue reading “708 – Photography”
