Faraway places, with strange sounding names
Briefly: been to town, brought Treacle home, found mammoth photographic disaster in my studio… it may be costly, even more so than the vet bill (which was large)
Getting Closer
This arrived in the mail yesterday just as I was getting myself and Treacle ready to go catch the ferry. Needless to say it is not yet out of its box but certainly am looking forward to trying it out. I know that it is a compromise but anything longer than this 200mm lens was …
Bus Stop
Treacle went for a ferry ride to the vet today. This is he, waiting at the gate for the Community Bus to collect us and take us to the ferry (we couldn’t take the car due to Rodent Incursion Damage) Unfortunately, Treacle has not come home with me this evening. He is having a little …
More of the same
Another chill but sunshiny day today. I had forgotten to get my anti-Rook device in after the bin man came yesterday so I grabbed my coat and mittens and the camera and walked down to the gate with the dog to get it back. I fitted the polariser again and tried dialling in a couple …
Monday Outlook 2/3/15
Sunny, not too much wind, quite chilly, tide around half way. Can no longer shoot towards Elsness as the sun is now in the wrong position at rubbish time. Took two sets of images today, having been inspired to dig out my polariser. This is “with” and I like the way that the clouds come …
Cause and Effect
After a very fine three course celebratory meal last night, we sat by the fireside and shared a bottle of malt, listening to some of our favourite albums and trying to come up with an all-time Top Ten. Some of us may have drunk more than others. At least one half of the team is …
Too much Feist for me
Treacle is a feisty feline. True enough he lost all of his feist last week but after a ferry trip to the vet and a couple of shots whilst he was there, he was soon returning to normal. Unfortunately those shots had to be followed up by daily dosage of an antibiotic suspension, administered by …
Magnum
Much as I fancy an ice cream this evening, the only Magnum on offer is this one. We are having a celebratory weekend, by reason of the letter from the bank which says that come Monday, our house is all [i]ours.[/i] It has been a long, hard road made punishing by our personal choices. The …
Denali WiP
It’s Thursday and I wanted to go out and photo some derelict cottage or other. Alas, it was weeing down – the sun came out later when I was busy elsewhere – and all that I have to share is the pic that I took for my Ravelry project. Here’s my Denali throw, about 1/3 …
