Bagged another 4 sacks of flotsam, jetsam and plain old fly-tipped waste today. Today’s Belive It Or Not star item is… a pair of fisherman’s overalls!

365:105 Treacle’s Eye
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Shaw]Percy Shaw[/url] was born this day in 1890. I can’t go out and photograph a line of cat’s eyes down the middle of the road because I live in the back of beyond and we don’t have any. So here’s a peek at the kind of inspiration that possibly galvanized Percy’s marvellous invention.
Whole lotta bruck goin’ on
Four more bags of bruck collected today. It’s not really an activity conducive to photography. Anyway, a better day for it today with sun and less wind. Today’s unusual find was a toy cement mixer. I often stop to wonder where on earth these things blow in from. 11 bags collected in total so far. …
365:104 Four Feather Falls
Gerry Anderson was born this day in 1929. He featured large in my childhood and I was entranced in turn by Twizzle and Torchy and Four Feather Falls, long before the great hits of Thunderbirds and Stingray etc. Four Feather Falls was an especial favourite and when I saw that today was the anniversary of …
Bagged
We bagged two more sacks of “bruck” today. It’s often interesting, what washes up on shore. Mr L found this plastic bird. I should have liked to set up a more interesting shot but I was being buffeted by the strong wind and this was all that I could manage. The bird is now safely …
365:103 Bang. Bang… my baby shot me down
Today is the anniversary of Guy Fawkes’ birth. I spent much of yesterday taking high speed shots of exploding party poppers. Today I was going to take more, but using a different technology. The technology failed to provide a single useful image. So here is a shot of the aftermath instead. Some of the rubbish, …
Nell’s new toy
Nell found herself a new toy yesterday when we were collecting bruck. Suzie also found a new toy, a deflated football, but was not prepared to pose with it today – it’s hers and we can’t have it. Just goes to show, one man’s bruck is another dog’s treasure.
365:102 A life on the ocean wave
That’s the[url=http://www.greatglenshipping.co.uk/vessels/] MV Burhou I, belonging to the Great Glen Shipping Company[/url], tied up at Kettletoft. I know it’s a carp photo but it was taken with the extreme zoom of my P510 and in a F7 Near Gale. I really just wanted to fathom out what the big boat was, as we see so …
100 percent collie
There’s no doubting Nell’s heritage, is there? Busy day today: up and out to the GP for prescription collection; picked up a few groceries at the Community Shop, and some carrots from the box outside N’s house; took the dogs for a run at Cata; called in at the Ranger’s house for some plastic bags …
365:101
I did not have 101 Dalmations to hand today, just one and a half collies. Unfortunately I only got one in the frame at any one time. The morning was a bit bleak but we had to be out and about running errands. Mr L is on his holidays from today so we were able …
