Yesterday was a good day for my newly-planted vegetable garden (six large pots and a bag for potatoes!), but not such a good day for anyone who doesn’t like getting wet. You can just see a tiny raindrop bouncing off the back of this poor wet wood pigeon’s head. Bless him! I might add this [...]

Snapshot of my afternoon.
Posted in photos on Apr 23rd, 2009
This afternoon I walked to and from my acupuncture session, and took my little point-and-shoot camera with me. These are just a few little snapshots of my day. Spot the heron! (It’s worth clicking through to the larger versions of this one – you can see his face ever so clearly!) Terracotta elephant on [...]
Well, I asked for feedback on yesterday’s flower photos… and the feedback I received was “where are the birds?”. So, by popular demand, I now have some photos of birds for sale on Etsy!
I’ve decided to try an experiment, so I’ve listed half a dozen of my photographs on Etsy. I’ve chosen two sizes which are easy to mount and frame – 12″ and 6″ square. I won’t be selling mounts and frames with the photos, because of the difficulty of sending the frames in the post. I’ve [...]
We spent this morning at a garden centre buying three Trachelospermum jasminoides to grow up the back of the Shed. Hopefully our neighbour will prefer looking at Trachelospermum jasminoides than my Shed wall, although it might take a year or two before they’re tall enough to peek over the garden fence! We spent the afternoon mooching gently [...]
This afternoon we took the cameras for a walk around Dinton Pastures. I was only happy with a few photos of the fifty or so that I took, but it was Paul’s turn with the 300mm lens, so I played around with the 200mm. I lost quite a few pictures to the very shallow depth [...]
I had been planning to work on a new dress today, but a slight difficulty with an incredible shrinking lining swiftly followed by an unexpected power cut sadly put paid to those plans! While the power was out, I did something which I’ve been putting off for ages, and tackled the garden. I spent a [...]
Yesterday I had a sudden flurry of excitement when I realised that it was still light at 5:30, so I went for a wander around the lake with the camera. I took Paul’s new zoom lens (75-300mm), and had a play. The photos are here. Mostly the pictures are of Things Up Trees, including a tiny [...]
Paul and I went out for a walk with the cameras today, and it was the first time in months that we haven’t been swathed in layers of hats and scarves and gloves. We’d set ourselves the challenge of finding evidence of spring, and although we’re a few weeks too early for most of the [...]
Because they didn’t have one that said “wool money”…
Posted in inspiration, photos on Feb 10th, 2009
My local Post Office & Newsagent has recently revamped itself into a sort of a gift shop. Every time I was standing in the queue to post a parcel I found myself staring at these little ceramic money boxes, trying to convince myself that the best way to save a bit of money was not [...]
