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”

The picture is of a display by an artist who was showing his work at Wisely Gardens. The higher rock is balanced on the lower. I know it’s real, I watched him do it. There are places where people go to do this, pretty much for the fun of it. Fascinating to see. In andContinue reading “308/366 Balancing Rocks”

I didn’t see this initially. It’s a long net, presumably lost by one of the little trawlers. I can’t help wondering how they managed to lose it, and why they didn’t make an attempt to recover it, or perhaps they did, and it has become too entangled for them to draw it back in. IContinue reading “306/366 Along the Water Front”

I went out for a walk. Leaving Home, I headed towards Alverstoke Valley, this is a nature reserve. On the way out to the reserve, I passed the memorial to Nat Gonella, a famous musician, who came from Grosport; I had a very strange feeling as I approached the bottom end of HMS Sultan, ItContinue reading “305/366 A longish walk”

Our first long trip in our electric car. 60 miles. It was fine, obviously, we had enough charge that we could have come back, but they had charge points there, so we used the opportunity to top up. One reason was to compare driving styles. Mine is more conservative, but at the end of bothContinue reading “304/366 RHS Wisely”

It is quite likely that over the next 63 days you are going to get fed up with me. That’s because I am probably be going to be doing a fair bit of self analysis of my writing between now and then, and what I may be dong when 366 comes to an end. SinceContinue reading “303/366 Writing for Locality”
