It’s a quiet day today and very calm. The island looks very beautiful – with the sea a pale aqua beneath a flat grey sky, and scarcely a ripple to be seen on the water. Oddly there’s nobody about. We went to the bottle bank in Kettletoft and I seized the opportunity to grab a …

The horns of a dilemma
In the post today, a set of 3 stainless steel shoe horns (yes, I have reached that age). I have been playing with them as I am sure there must be some photographic potential. I shall keep trying as I am sure I can do better than this. Also in the post today, tools for …
Flagging it up
The sun has returned today but we have a strong breeze that made it a challenge to gain the capture that I wanted today. When we arrived here the garden was an acre of wilderness, four feet high. We have tamed it gradually, mostly by dint of regular mowing. The conditions do not favour cultivation …
The dog’s OK
I went to see the GP last night as my injuries, at 2 weeks old, seem little improved and some additional swelling has entered the equation. She sent me for an x-rayin the expectation of a cracked patella, and thus I was to be found awaiting the community bus at 07:00 this morning. Not my …
A change in the weather
It has been a stunningly beautiful day thus far, and I have been stuck in the house. Now that I am ready to go out and play, it looks as though the weather is on the change. I think it may be time to go round closing windows and battening hatches.
Nailed it
After something of an absence, I took my camera to town today. I had much fun at Jewson’s just playing with patterns and textures. Lots of material today but this box of something to do with cavity wall building made the cut due to the myriad “selfie” reflections that emerged when I looked at the …

I had a fall about a week ago and hurt myself quite badly. It knocked the wind from my sails a bit and the camera lay unattended for a while. In short, I blobbed on my 365. [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/plumbum] I’m shutting up shop here and will continue to post on my paid account. [/url] I’ll do …

No themed pic today. Inspiration deserted me. I had wanted to do something for Peggy Lee’s birthday but how do you represent “Is that all there is?” I have the red and white flowers still, so I picked a red daisy to shoot. I can imagine that the variety could easily be called “Fever”, couldn’t …

It’s Geek Pride Day – which is also Towel Day (for DNA) and the Glorious 25th of May for Pterry. Of course it takes a bit of a geek to refer to Douglas Adams as DNA and Terry Pratchett as pterry, but I guess for today we take pride in knowing where our towel is …
365:144 Bah Lamb
You’re not wrong. That[u] is [/u]an odd photo. I did my 144 research yesterday. On this day in 1830 – [i]The nursery rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb” was first published as an original poem by Sarah Josepha Hale[/i]. Easy peasy. Today I would go forth and happily photograph lambs for an hour or so. …
