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

Faded Glory
Poor moth-eaten rose. I bought some reduced price flowers at the supermarket yesterday. With this weather, it’s good to have something to shoot in the “Studio”. It’s amazing how the camera shows every flaw – so happy this is not my face! Experimenting with flash coupled to low light long exposures for saturation. Photography is …
Some experience needed
Purl 15 together – no fun
Just messing
Mr L is cooking me a special dinner today and I am banished from the kitchen end of the house. I’ve been spending my time taking photographs for my blog at Sanday Spinners. I really ought to be thinking about what to do for [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/nybblets]my 365 project[/url] but I have not got that far yet. …
