Day 353~366

For the past 3 years we’ve had a pair of Robins visit our garden and The Happy Eater tree, but this year have hardly seen them.  Today though Phil spotted this little robin jumping from the car window ledge onto the mirror back and forth, we think he thought there was another robin in it!   He seems to be alone so am not sure if this is one of the pair and the spouse has died or if this one is a different one all together.

this next one’s a bit out of focus but you can see his reflections in the mirror and window,

Day 342~366

This took forbloodyever!  Haven’t been writing much as am getting my photo’s done quite late, inspire of it getting dark early. Also lots of shenanigans going on as the Ipernity website is shutting down in a couple of months and the challenge group on Sundays that I help run is needing a new home.  It’s  very difficult to find somewhere that works for us, and we’ve whittled it down to either Facebook (urk) or Fotoblur, neither of which is ideal.  I  have a Flickr account that I use now and then, so all is not lost regarding saving photo’s, just that the lead admin of the group can’t use it, so it’s not an option for the group, which is a bummer as it works for everyone else in the group. We’ve been together for a long time, and become virtual friends, and whichever site we choose, we’ll lose people, as some can’t bear Facebook and others just don’t want to start in a new place. But that’s the nature of the internet, and plus ca change and all that.

Day 292~366

Not the best weather, again it’s been cold with wind chill, but a blue sky later this afternoon, which turned grey 10 minutes after we set of to go train spotting.

On the way Frego noticed the sunshine sparkling through the tree branches and leaves, ‘I’ll get some of that bockey stuff’ said Frego, ‘Do you mean bokeh?’ I asked, ‘That’s what I said!’ she said.

Day 121~366

Faffing about today.  This is a shot of sequins on a table, through a water droplet on a glass sheet suspended 6″ above the sequins.  Took ages to focus on the water drop. Happy shiny Saturday wordy peeps.
