For several days my wife has been watching the long distance weather forecast with an intensity that isn’t usual – unless there is an outdoor Women’s Institute event scheduled, which there was, a driveway sale. We had everything in place, during the week members of her branch have been bringing contributions. Every evening would watchContinue reading “115/366 The weekend”

114/366 The Starlings
Oh dear, what a dilemma. I am in the lucky position of having three blog posts lined up. It’s not that any one of them is time critical, it’s the excitement in the anticipation of writing them. I suppose the first thing I should say that although the post title is Starlings, the photo isContinue reading “114/366 The Starlings”
23/365 Street Photography
We were out for a walk today, following a treasure hunt tour of Gosport, with a series of clues. With a dry run for the WI. We reached the halfway point and had to stop because the car ticket was going to run out. We went back on to the high street o get lunch,Continue reading “23/365 Street Photography”
13/365 A dramatic Sky
Monday I overslept, Tuesday it was rain, this morning even though slightly breezy it was dry and so I was able to get out for a walk. My reward for bothering was a lovely sky over Portsmouth. I love mornings like this. Mind you, I like a clear blue sky as well, but that isContinue reading “13/365 A dramatic Sky”
12/365 The Bird Table Redux
The bird table is at the bottom of the garden, I can’t see it from the office, so I miss out on activity on it. I installed a Neos camera and bought a cheap tablet to watch it. I haven’t quite worked out how to get photo’s from it to my collection – easy withContinue reading “12/365 The Bird Table Redux”

9/365 The Pumpkin Fairy
We have a pumpkin growing in the garden. We’ve had some marrows in the past that got to a reasonable size. I wonder how big this will get? It is always interesting to follow the progress of these things. I had to do a little bit of scrabbling around to get a picture. I wentContinue reading “9/365 The Pumpkin Fairy”
8/365 The Morning Ferries
IT looks like they’re going to collide doesn’t it? They aren’t. It’s a very well coordinated dance. The captains of the Gosport Ferries are very skilful. They know exactly where and how to direct their ships. The Harbour Spirit here is just being lined up to continue the crossing as soo as the Mon StContinue reading “8/365 The Morning Ferries”
7/365 Butterflies Again
You might get two photo’s tonight. I had lunch in the garden, There were three or four whites. Of course I was rushing because of work so didn’t do a Big Butterfly Count. When I finished, There were still a couple of whites flitting around time to do a count. My reward was to findContinue reading “7/365 Butterflies Again”
6/365 A Rainy Day
It’s a thing that I don’t go for walk if it’s raining. Of course, I would expect your response to be “Well, wear a rain coat then”. I have a threshold – sometimes there is just water in the air, in which case I do walk, on the hope that it doesn’t get worse. IfContinue reading “6/365 A Rainy Day”
