OK I know that I probably should have written 30ºC and climbing but 90 seemed much more emphatic and emphasis was my goal, yesterday anyway!! Monday started out as a normal Monday. Maybe this is a contradiction in terms, what Monday is ever normal? This one by all accounts should have been. You see it […]
I took a photo walk today in the cemetery. Since I’m leading a photo hike on a retreat this weekend, I thought that I would try to get some pictures which follow the basic rules of photography. I managed to find examples of two of them. Framing: I love this tree. It reminds me of
Left hand turns, while driving, a car can be tricky!! I remember chatting to people who had just learned to drive and laughing at the circuitous routes they took to get from A to B, in order to avoid a left hand turn. Driving is supposed to speed things up. I could have walked there
