3/365 Windows & Phone lines

I was out delivering leaflets, when my I was taken by the line of windows. Along a street not far from me. When I read about photography, there is a focus on lines and shapes. I confess I’m not really very good at seeing them, but I am trying and looking. This line of houses,Continue reading “3/365 Windows & Phone lines”

Photo 2/365 – A Deceased Bumble Bee

I saw this little thing as I was walking along. It made me feel sad. They are so busy, and I love watching them.

Procrastination & Time Maangement

What could it be? 1. To get my full licence (I’m an intermediateContinue reading “Procrastination & Time Maangement”

What if I don’t have a narrative?

A horrible thought occurred to me; not only am I not particularly good at writing, what if i don’t have a story to tell? Do my writings have too be about me? I don’t suppose they do. So, what could I write about? Religion? – Too controversial, bound to upset somebody. Politics? – Too controversial,Continue reading “What if I don’t have a narrative?”

Birds, Walking & Churches

The bird table has been fairly active today. Magpies, Pigeons, the odd Sparrow and Starlings. No squirrels though, as far as we are aware – we haven’t watched the table all day. The starlings though, were well on form. One in particular did not want to share the table with any others, although happy toContinue reading “Birds, Walking & Churches”

Breakfast on the Bird Table

I looked out the kitchen window just as I was preparing my breakfast. I could see that the bird table was absolutely rammed with starlings. It’s not a big table, less than a foot square. I reckon it had about seven or eight starlings partaking of their morning meal. Were they preparing for their morningContinue reading “Breakfast on the Bird Table”

Recently I had another go, and this time it has gone a bit mad. Regular visitsContinue reading “The Bird Table”

It’s one of those I need to get it out of my system things. Over the last couple of weeksContinue reading “Railways”
