Hello Snail.

13/10/13

Today I had rather a long wait for the bus home from work (and there aren’t any buses to my new house on a Sunday, which is going to be awkward), so I decided to play around with the camera again while I was waiting. Hello snail!

Expecting my camera to be all “no, I’m not focussing anywhere you want, hahaha”, I was pleasantly surprised when it decided to prove me wrong.

(Yes, I realise my camera is inanimate. I don’t think that prevents it from having moods, or trying to thwart me at every possible opportunity.)

This little bit of lichen is about a centimetre across. About the same size as the snail’s shell, in fact. And today, my camera had no problem at all taking this picture.

Or this one. In low light, and in the rain, no less.

Goodbye snail.

So much for summer

Raindrops

Well, it’s the middle of July – the point of the year at which I’d usually be complaining about my Shed turning into a sauna, and my skin turning lobster-coloured.

Instead I’m sitting here in the dark, with the heater on, looking out at the rain.

So much for summer.

We’re still trying to get outside as much as we can though, dashing out for short walks between the rain showers.

Just as we were heading home last night, we saw two foxes in the fields. My camera couldn’t manage to catch them in the twilight, but it was lovely to watch them for a while.
