There are times that I need to stop thinking. of Saturday and Sunday as the end of the week, in some respects what day of the week it is becomes irrelevant. Why is that an issue? Well, it isn’t really. I just don’t need to stress about Mondays. Elayne went to London today, meeting upContinue reading “1885 – A morning out”

1877 – A Trip Out
I had a bit of a trip out today, It started really with breakfast in the local travellodge, which was very nice. I had arrived at the ferry terminal whilst The Spirit of Gosport was over on the Portsmouth side, so I had a few minutes spare. Now, I don’t normally take pictures of NavyContinue reading “1877 – A Trip Out”
1837 – Christmas Trees & Town
Today, there was a display held in St Mary’s Church in Alverstoke, of Christmas trees that had been put together by various parts of the community. There more than 70 trees on show from groups as varied as infant schools and estate agents. It was quite a delight wandering around the church, admiring all theContinue reading “1837 – Christmas Trees & Town”
1682 – A quick trip in to town
I took a weekend stroll in to town today. There was one of the special markets on, which was nice to see. My walk was at around 0900, so stalls were still being set up, so I hope they had a busy day – there was certainly the weather for it. I was pleased toContinue reading “1682 – A quick trip in to town”
1660 – I visit Waterstones in Portsmouth
Elayne said she likes this picture because it has the four tower blocks and The Trinity Church Tower. I hadn’t really planned anything particular for the day other than I wanted to walk in to town. But then I found the little notebook that I normally take with me, and read the last entry, datedContinue reading “1660 – I visit Waterstones in Portsmouth”
354/366 Litter in Art
It appears that there are quite a few artists that use litter in art. They will take it away to their studio and do something with it that turns it in to art. There have been three occasions over recent weeks where I have seen something that I have photographed, here are the other two;Continue reading “354/366 Litter in Art”
307/366 Which Napoleon?
In 305, I wrote about my trip out to the Alver Valley. I had every intention of going on to Fort Gilkicker, but didn’t get there because I decided my feet had had enough for the day (they had served me well). Whilst I was walking away from the Motte & Bailey, I asked SiriContinue reading “307/366 Which Napoleon?”
140/366 Sparrows
Yes, Yes I know. Definitely not Sparrows in the picture. But, I have a plan. A long time, well about 2 -3 months ago, I put a bird feeder on the edge of the patio. the intention was to attract the sparrows. Have they responded by consuming the very nice seed I loaded the feederContinue reading “140/366 Sparrows”
138/366 Street Photography Now
I took this picture in 2010 in London. It was a from-the-hip grab shot as I was walking along Oxford Street. I just pressed the button as I walked past her. Undoubtedly an attractive girl, looking worried on phone against a poster of attractive people. I do hope she was OK. It is, in myContinue reading “138/366 Street Photography Now”
137/366 Out for a walk
Yesterday, I wrote about being out of my comfort zone. I want to continue that for a bit (no more video at the moment, that was a practice). The forecasters were pretty much right, it had been raining all morning and was due to stop between 11-12, which it did. I wanted a change toContinue reading “137/366 Out for a walk”
