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”

Bit of a milestone, No. 50. It is as much about the writing as it is the photography. On a Friday, we usually have a Fish & Chip shop experience, tonight I had sausage, saveloy and chips. It was very nice. Elayne rarely finishes her chips. Sometimes I finish them, sometimes I’m full as wasContinue reading “50/365 Fish & Chips”

Only a slight problem getting up this morning. No issues falling asleep last night, the issue was waking up at about 0330 and having trouble getting back to sleep, and then do I get so around 5AM ish, waking up at 0537. If you are with me on FB, you will see how waking upContinue reading “49/365 Walking with a tripod”

This is the only photograph I’ve taken today. I had problems getting to sleep last night, at least 2330 before my eyes felt like closing. I woke up at about 0610. The thing is, the way my mind works is that if I can’t leave the house before 0610 then I won’t have enough timeContinue reading “48/365 Not the way to do Photography”

Ok, I admit, not the most exciting picture. I set myself a little exercise this morning to photograph the streets or roads that I walk on during my normal morning route. This is Mumby Road not far from where I live. In addition to my morning walk, I need to do more exercise so I’veContinue reading “47/365 Out Walking”

It’s not so much writers block, it’s having a common theme that I can return to in the event that I can’t think of anything to write about. On FaceBook, I am well in to our fantasy holiday. I am wondering whether or not to do my next fantasy holiday here. That would ensure thatContinue reading “46/365 A morning sky”

There is a very obscure relationship between the picture of Knowlton Church and the subject of todays post. Recently, I wrote about being very excited at the prospect of starting to read Hubble Vision (2nd Ed, 1998). I was on page 51 and was reading about Hubble’s vision of Saturn, when I came to aContinue reading “45/365 Time Stops for no one.”

The photo has no relationship to the date or the title. Towards the end of February we were due to go to the Chinese Visa Bureau to get our visas for the holiday we had booked. We had to make a decision as t0 whether or not to bother. We didn’t and It was aContinue reading “44/365 Just before Lockdown began”
