I’m a little bit conflicted. If you follow me on Face Book, since before the lock down, we have been on initially a virtual and then a fantasy holiday. We should have been going just as the lockdown was beginning to become a reality, I like writing and decided that I would write about ourContinue reading “60/365 Fantasy Holidays”

In episode 18, I talked about my book choices, they were; Hubble Vision The Story of Art Britains Pilgrim places At the time, I was finishing off The Photographers eye, and couldn’t make up my mind which book to read, so decided that I would have all three on the go. As it happens, IContinue reading “59/365 Book Choice”

I started doing this aspect of the blog (x/365) coming up to two months ago. To be honest, I’m a bit shocked that; I’m still doing it and how quickly the days go. Most of my waterfront pictures are at present being taken in low light. This is a picture I took today, at aroundContinue reading “58/365 A day time picture”

I had always been a devotee of the iphone, since the first generation, it was in my view a game changer of a phone. Then, probably about two years ago Huawei released the PR20 pro. Whilst I liked the iphone camera, I was very drawn by the PR20. I used it for almost a year,Continue reading “57/365 What camera?”

It’s obvious from the sky in the picture that this morning it was cloudy, so I can’t say whether the moon caught up with Mars and what happens when she did. In fact, the walk almost didn’t happen, I really didn’t feel like getting up. And for a brief period went back to bed. Couldn’tContinue reading “56/365 It really is Autumn now.”

OK, so I think I got it wrong yesterday. The moon wasn’t chasing Orion to stop him from chasing Mars, having had his way with Venus; she was chasing Mars to batter seven bales of whatever out of him herself, having overtaken Orion, and continuing on full tilt. Hopefully tomorrow will be clear enough toContinue reading “55/365 The Morning Sky Part 2”

OK, so perhaps the photograph doesn’t even begin to do justice to the topic. It was when I walked out of the front door this morning. I was greeted by a very bright Orion and his hunting companion Sirius. Running ahead of him was a vibrantly orange Mars. Running along behind the trio was aContinue reading “54/365 The Morning Sky”

When I go walking in the morning, I nearly always follow the same route, it is very rare I don’t. This morning was the same as usual. I normally see the same people. There’s one lady who is walking in the opposite direction to me. We normally pass each other somewhere around North Cross Street.Continue reading “53/365 The Waterfront”

I took the picture yesterday at West Dean Gardens, an interesting bit of wood with a rotten centre that went the entire length of the trunk. The only link between the picture taken yesterday and today was that it was raining on both day. I just thought it would make an interesting B&W picture. Today,Continue reading “52/365 Walking in the Rain”

We escaped from Gosport today, going to West Dean Gardens just to the north of Chichester. We had a good wander around and followed the forest trail. Although the weather wasn’t perfect it really wasn’t that bad. We had an excellent day out. Whilst we were aware that West Dean had a college associated withContinue reading “51/365 West Dean Gardens”
