1938 – Let Sleeping foxes Lay.

For some reason, one of the local foxes, we think it’s a vixen. has taken a real shine to our garden. It seems able to be sufficiently relaxed that it it is happy to fall asleep for several hours. We’ve seen it curled up on the rockery, in the middle of the lawn, and hereContinue reading “1938 – Let Sleeping foxes Lay.”

1937 – Camera Club, U3A, No FB.

I got out of the house later than I intended this morning. Catching the bus down to the interchange. I paused at the waterfront I almost missed the Guillaum De Normandie completely, but was just able to see it go around the corner at the top of the channel. I had a quick chat withContinue reading “1937 – Camera Club, U3A, No FB.”

1936 – Out & About in Gosport

I managed to select and get printed my three photos for the next competition. The header picture isn’t one of them. I thought that it was time that I tried to get back to a normal post about Gosport, and that includes The Cockle Ponds. I had noted that the ponds were being emptied. IContinue reading “1936 – Out & About in Gosport”

1935 – Letter to Steve IV (Gilbert’s IV)

Hi Steve, The header photo really is a Grabshot, taken from the car as we went past. I’ve been looking forward to writing the letter this week. After I read Gilbert’s Letter IV, in which he talked about a local industry that focused on a local stone that is worked in the Selborne area. IContinue reading “1935 – Letter to Steve IV (Gilbert’s IV)”

1934 – A sunny Day

Most of the time, I really don’t mind if a day is gray. But, we have had so many gray days since the beginning of the year, that even I am pleased when the sun comes out as it did today. I didn’t even mind that there was a slight chill in the air. AsContinue reading “1934 – A sunny Day”

1933 – Facebook & Blog Cadence

I think I got a bit too enthusiastic with my FaceBook post today. When it came time to do this blog, I realised that most of the pictures I’d taken earlier today had already be used and it would be the case that you would be seeing a duplicate. This header picture is one ofContinue reading “1933 – Facebook & Blog Cadence”

1932 – Charity Shops & Books

Looking back through my posts, I was surprised to see that it is nearly two years ago that I commented on the closure of the British Heart Foundation Charity Shop in town. That closure continues to be a sad loss to the community in terms of books. Not only did they have a good selection,Continue reading “1932 – Charity Shops & Books”

1931 – I’m having a bit of a problem

I haven’t done any vlogging for a while, which I think is a pity, and not a situation that I want to be in. Part of the problem is that can’t think of topics on which to vlog. I have to admit, that I was a bit stuck on what my blog entry might beContinue reading “1931 – I’m having a bit of a problem”

1930 – The Letters to Steve

I’m not really going to talk about Steve, who he was, and why he was a special friend (no, not in that way). You might also think it a little macabre that I’m writing to someone who’s been gone these 23 years. In reality he is just a mechanism. But I think he would haveContinue reading “1930 – The Letters to Steve”

1929 – An unusual situation

The header picture was taken with my iphone 17,the picture information is 88mm, f1.78, 1/2577 of a second ISO64. It is unedited and deliberately so. Compare that with; This picture was taken with my Nikon, 52mm*, 0.3ev,f8, 1/640s *Actually, the lens is 35mm, but the Nikon reports it as a 52mm, because the D5300 hasContinue reading “1929 – An unusual situation”
