071-365v5 Out The Back

This is a shot taken looking out of our garden across to the Florida Forestry area where, potentially we will be having both wind turbines and new giant electricity pylons built. It’s not yet clear (and planning hasn’t, yet, been given) whether these will be visible from our garden…but they

070-365v5 The Jess

Here’s the lovely Jess reclining on the bed. I’d accidentally left the 2 second self-timer on from when I was photographing the waterfalls the over day, so instead of firing the shot immediately the camera gave a high pitched count down…which really peaked Jess’s interest and so got some nice

069-365v5 – The Laced Remains

On the way back from my morning walk with Jess we found this abandoned shoe at the entrance to the Florida Forestry Track. I didn’t notice it as we arrived and have no idea why it would be left here with its shoe laces all neatly tied. Debbie reckoned that

068-365v5 – More Waterfall Action

I continued my walk up our Burn (Harden Burn) that runs through our garden and carried on up past the waterfalls I photographed a few weeks ago. I was initially looking for a couple of ponds that I’d seen mentioned on a couple of maps (although not the Ordanance Survey

067-365v5 – Some Hill Mist

It’s been a glorious day in Scotland today with temperatures up to a balmy 18°C and we have spent much of the day in the garden. On the morning walk with Jess I was aware of some mist rolling down the hill and hoped the sun would light it up

066-365v5 – A First Try

I’ve always enjoyed macro photography for many years, indeed, my first “proper” lens was my 105mm macro lens which I got about 15 years ago. Whilst I’ve enjoyed the lens, I’ve really only dabbled with the techniques, so, I am going to try and learn some more advanced techniques. Today

065-365v5 – A View From The Garden

I really do feel incredibly lucky that this is on my doorstep. You might think that a move from a (very lovely) small town where we lived on a main road just off the High Street in Great Dunmow would be quite a radical change to a country house 3.5miles

064-365v5 – Chucking It Down!

It poured for most of today – that rain that runs horizontally across the ground in clouds of rain. Except for a very wet dog walk early in the morning I was sat at my computer for much of the day and took this shot (well, it’s actually 3 shots

063-365v5 – The Handshake

I was trying to come up with a minimalistic abstract in the house this afternoon. This is the staircase banister in our home and it reminded me of a robotic handshake. Talking of handshakes…one of my favourite Bad Religion tracks is “The Handshake” (yeah, tenuous, I know). You can have

062-365v5 – Kielder Water

We visited Kielder Water today and took a pleasant walk along the side of the reservoir. As you will see from the picture, it was flat grey. What you won’t see is that is was really quite chilly as well!
