Friday, February 2, 2024, 6:10:44 PM- Assume

I done my first full week at work in 7 weeks, same again next week and then I have a week's holiday.

I saw the little dog, that I really wanted today, more beautiful each time I see her, that dog would have featured in so many pictures for me, it would have been the best documentary work, I would have done.

I did actually take some dog pictures today, a collie was herding some sheep , it once was a common thing , but now, I would even find it hard to think of 5 farms, that still have a dog of any description.

I had a whole day at work yesterday , with no phone, I never even got withdrawal symptoms once, only thing I kind of missed was not having my kindle app to read, but I was glad to see it lying on the bed,rather than maybe having lost it when cycling to work.

I got asked once again, if I wanted to move into an office job, once again refused. Could I have done it yes, do I need the stress , nope.

I took a hit too the broken rib area, the pain went from very manageable, to I would have liked my liquid painkiller, but now back to being ok, I cope and just get on with it.

Tomorrow I have nothing planned, will just see, what the day brings.

I have always fancied getting the picture of sheep below tree's not sure why, but I like the idea, I got this last week, but it just does not work for me, for some reason, the balance of the picture is not right, I just never seen it properly, so a chance missed.

Sunday, January 28, 2024, 9:43:27 AM- From destruction

Back to work tomorrow, the patient dismissed me lol..

Life is what you make it or it can be, I use to think that we control our own path, but sometimes, it just does not work like that.

I went down the street yesterday, for a few supplies, I bought a scratch card, now I might buy one or two a year, sometimes none, I scratched it and won.

I walked over 8 miles yesterday, most in a very long time, and as I write this no extra aches or pains.

I started a new project, a documentary series of pictures of an area that has been cleared of it's pine tree's the destruction was hard to take in, for all I have seen it before and I even have cut down a lot of tree's,, this just seemed more real.
It was even hard to get your bearings, trying to work out, where was where, there was a lot of nice path's through it and now a muddy mess across a few.
Mother nature will take it back and she will give me views to try and work out, what is the best she wants me to get.
But once you take it in, you stand and look around and you see, scenes, that in the 50yrs, I have walked there, was hidden before, some of the views across the gorge are into beautiful woods, and I get to work it all out, to stand and look and seek.

In the end, I seen opportunity, I took a video from one spot, my first with the phone, I hope each year to stand in the same spot and do the same, I took 20 pictures with the phone, for all I had my camera, the phone, was my choice, it gave me the right lens, next weekend, all being well. I hope to be there for sunrise, a new dawning for another new start.

So as you can see destruction, but look at those beautiful trees in the distance. The first picture of the series, that I will be doing, I have one place picked where each time I go, I am going to see what I can get. But next time, I really do need to take my flask. So from destruction, let's see what we see.

Friday, January 26, 2024, 9:28:22 AM- Again

I cracked my rib again yesterday, once again taking pictures, lying on the ground, rolled over forgot, I had a macro lens for the phone in my pocket and felt the usual thing lol, lens is fine though.
I really need to get a new camera, with a screen that flips out, so I can get down low angles, without lying on the ground in strange positions.

Thursday, January 25, 2024, 8:44:00 AM- Snowdrops

As soon, as I see the first snowdrops, it is a day for smiles and to thank mother nature for this and all the other beauty I will get to see from her.

I got out, a little walk yesterday, the aftermath of another named storm. I took some pictures, I sat at a little spot and let some thoughts run through my head. Would loved to have spent longer but had to get home.

I had got all the hoods up, the rain was on, your head does stay really warm with a beanie and 3 hoods up.

Wednesday, January 24, 2024, 11:14:26 AM- Spring clean

The patient is feeling better, said that I can go for walk at some point today. We will see.

I had a bit of an early spring clean yesterday, I had 6 pairs of dress trousers, that were of no use to me, various sizes from a 36" to 42" waist, I comfortably wear 30" now, the most stupid thing I ever did, was putting so much weight on, as I did, never thought on the long run on that one. I am very thankful, that actually losing it for me, was no problem.

Spring cleaning comes in many forms, I went through a box where I just through things in, got a bag and started clearing it out, probably just to be refilled over the years, old phone cases right back to when I had a HTC Desire, still got that phone, but I still have the last 5 phones that I had and I ask myself why, but it is all the little cables you gather, I will have a guess that I chucked out over 20. There was also 3 mini tripods in it, which means, that I actually have 6, why, eh I have a confession, I am a comfort shopper , I see it, I buy it, it arrives, the old one, gets put in a box, the new thing gets used till it gets replaced.

I have decided to change one thing, before I started to do it seriously, I saw that the money I would have thrown at it, can be used better for other things, that I know, I will be able to do.

You know the one thing, I would like just now a bar of chocolate, not even the whole bar, one little bit, that is enough for me..

Tuesday, January 23, 2024, 11:39:56 AM- Thinking of tea.

Breaks in the weather seem so few and far again today, I have walked no distance in 3 days now, my feet are itchy. I stood in the rain and tried to catch the mood as, it hit the puddles, raindrops were falling on my head. Probably no matter what, will head out later , i can manage a hour or so. I might try and do the coast in the morning, catch the tail end of the next storm. will be dark and moody.

I wonder if, I have lost anymore old friends from the storms, one came down the last time, it was a giant, but when you see the bottom, you have to wonder about so many of the rest,, I will keep it's memory in a picture and give thanks like, I have done before and will always do, after I record my memories of the world, that lets me share in it's beauty.

What was I thinking, when I took this one, I could do with a cup of tea lol.

Sunday, January 21, 2024, 11:08:17 AM- Unusual

Bit late with the Sunday waffling, had lie in, unusual for me, but not really had much sleep this week.

Not really much has been happening, keeping an eye on my Mum is a full time job, but she says or well told me, that I can get back to work middle of the week, we will see.

I got told, that I will be teaching the woman, that I mentioned in the blog about taking pictures, that was from her Dad, I just laughed at him. you never were one for listening were you Moucher, he said.

I got a nice little thing to try over this week, try and get 9 square pictures , all black and whites, might try ad get the story of walk..

I can see the nights getting lighter and the mornings, getting lighter earlier as well, I like the light mornings , It is my time of day, getting up really early and getting out, seeing the sun come up.

I have a similar picture too this one, that is one of my favourite pictures, I have taken, it is a tide dependant picture, I think I will try and do a whole serious of pictures here, for a tiny area, it does have plenty to offer.

Friday, January 19, 2024, 9:15:34 AM- Change

I am trying to get back into the habit of adding a title to each blog, when I was Whokens, I use to do that a lot.

Change was an easy one today, when I was out this morning it was 15c warmer than the day before, when I was out, it said it was -11c when I left yesterday and this morning 4C, next week, I think it is to hit 11C, but wet and windy weather.

I took a rather nice selfie of myself yesterday, just now it is in colour, but I might play in black and white with this one, not that anyone, will probably ever see it.

Here is another change one and it is a positive one.

You ever post a picture and think, that it would do great and it does not, I use to be like that, now I realise that , what I post is for me, whether, like on here, part of the story of a blog or on anywhere else, it only really matters to me. Sometimes, to really see a picture at its, best it really does have to be seen full screen , my Moon picture from the other day, is like that, as it is so dark, it gets lost at a small resolution, but full screen on the desktop it pops,

I bought another little case for my phone, it means I can fit a macro lens for close up, but it has a ring light built into it as well to light the scene up, how good it work, will see. I use to have a few ideas for shots of woman's nipples using my macro set up, just need the right model for that one. If nothing else, a you can have the dream.

As I walked out from the woods, heading home and you look round, a moment of smiles, as I watched the sky light up, another one of those moments, where I was glad to have my phone, that was like yesterday too, only difference was a snow shower showing in the distance and the sky more moody, next blog maybe.

Thursday, January 18, 2024, 9:01:35 AM- Assumption

I was laughing to myself yesterday, why, well, it just came into my head how pissed off Julie would have been to have gotten her bus pass before me, yes still a year, we would both have had to wait, but she was those 3 days older than me. Not that she would ever have used it. For all she done, I wish she was here to get it.

I could fill pages on our sexual adventures, we had so many, but we did do other things, we did have other shared interests. we both loved books, both had a thing about buying socks and nether of us, had white underwear, before, I had to stop running, we ran together every Saturday morning I was there and when we were together longer, most days, we done 7 marathons together. She opened my eyes to many things.

I think the weather gods are on the side of these blogs, keeping me from getting, that final image of a right dusting of snow on the road, the last blog, Plenty of frosty mornings, still -7c as I write this.

I have been off work this week, to look after my Mum, she is 81. I have to admit it, is stressful. But I am very happy, that I can.

I have my camera and well, when I look through the lens, it has never changed, that special moment, when all that you think about is, what you see. It has never been about the picture, but the process.

I have gotten to here and forgot this blog was about assumption. some people have the assumption that what they do is the normal thing that people do, short version answer for me, is thank christ I am not normal then..

I got this last week, but it looked the same this morning, except no colour in the sky and the little stream is frozen hard enough to stand on.

A little bonus blog, usually shoot the moon full, but this evening, the crescent, was looking nice, as I was coming home, more than happy with the result, it made me smile and smiles are in short supply today.
