11/365 A meal out

We booked a meal out at a decent steak restaurant. We were celebrating two birthdays and Anniversary which we had saved up over the lockdown. We felt quite safe there. The tables were a good distance apart, and only the one waitress came anywhere near us. No something we will do very often, but itContinue reading “11/365 A meal out”

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?

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.

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”

Really, this is all about Street Photography. Wonderful landscapes are of course a joy to behold, but people add the interest to a lot of photographs. Like a lot of things, I can’t explain any of my obsessions, and street photography is certainly among them. How much have I done? Possibly a dozen pictures, notContinue reading “4/365 A lady in Red”

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.

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. A Bumble bee will have a lifetime of anything from 2 – 6 weeks for workers, through to a year for a queen, the workers can be seen daily busily movingContinue reading “Photo 2/365 – A Deceased Bumble Bee”

I come from an era that pre-dates digital. I’m not sure if those of you who have only ever known digital are at an advantage over me. My first experience with a camera was my sisters Kodak Brownie 127. I was only ever allowed to play with it when it had no film in it.Continue reading “Photography”
