253/366 Another Doctors Pond Sunset

252/366 The Flitch Way

251/366 Backlit Elijah

You know I’m struggling when I have to fall back on one of our cats…still, this fella had his hair cut this week and this is probably the only angle I could photograph him without revealing his completely bald back. Unfortunately, as he is a thug, he has to have

Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea)

Spotted this fella in Rowney Woods – dragonflies may be bigger than damselflies, and you would have thought they would be easier to photograph – you have to be lucky to get one resting like this – normally they are permanently in motion patrolling their area, damselflies must get tired

244/366 CDs

Can you ever have too many? Probably not, and whilst I do download plenty of music direct onto my PC I do still buy Cds…I like to have the artwork and lyric sheet, you tend not to get that (sometimes you do, I know) downloading. It took me long enough
