At last, a picture that is at least partially related to the topic. How many times have laid on a patch of cool grass and just watched the clouds? Do you look for shapes in them? I quite often see dogs, especially Scottish terriers, and spaceships, I see a lot of them. Otherwise, I justContinue reading “318/366 Clouds and Pylons”

Out for my lunchtime walk, rain was threatening, but didn’t arrive. The sky looks very angry though, but it was OK, I enjoyed the walk. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted a model railway layout. It doesn’t have to be a big one, I keep on having ideas about what IContinue reading “317/366 Model Railways”

When I was at school, history was one of my favourite subjects. I suppose because it was easy to study, not like physics or chemistry, where you actually had to do things to find out stuff. After I finished school, I went to college and pleased to have history as a subject was not happyContinue reading “316/366 History”

Once again, the picture doesn’t bear any relationship to the topic. THe subject, a shopping trolley is in that position as the result of an act of vandalism. Why does it end up in a picture that I really like. That is incredibly frustrating. With the membership of a committee comes responsibilities. Now, I quiteContinue reading “315/366 Committees”

I said in last nights post, that I knew what I wanted to write about Astronomy. There is nothing in this picture that’s is in anyway related to Astronomy. It was just nice to get out this morning after yesterdays rain. There several moments in time when I realised I really enjoyed Astronomy. My Brother-in-lawContinue reading “314/366 Astronomy”

A picture from today; A picture from last week; The first picture was inspired by a website I follow called working pictures; http://workingpictures.blogspot.com/ He takes pictures that I don’t necessarily consider artistic, but are interesting. The second picture is of the wild area at RHS Wisely. I thought a low perspective would be good, andContinue reading “312/366 A quick walk”

OK, so I feel a little bit daft. I was walking away from Gilkicker Fort and suddenly realised that whilst I had shot a fair bit of video, I’d taken no stills – which considering that when I set out for my walk, I didn’t intend to take any video, but the decided it wouldContinue reading “311/366 A walk to Fort Gilkicker”

I am very aware that a number of recent posts have been me mithering about my inadequacies and reviewing the last weeks posts it hasn’t been too bad. In terms of activity, Saturday and Sunday were very good. I really enjoyed the visit to RHS Wisely. The Sunday walk was also very enjoyable. But IContinue reading “310/366 The Week”

There is nothing significant about today’s picture. Just two ducks swimming on the Cockle Ponds. I like ducks, I think they are cute, and would happily have one as a pet. I know I have too many interests. I am spread to thinly, and that means I don’t really have time to focus and developContinue reading “309/366 A surfeit of interests”
