This was what the moon looked like tonight. I took this with the Nikon D80 and a 300mm lense.

28-AUG-07

Looking down over clover.

27-AUG-07

Last minute adjustments for the majorettes at the Parkend Carnival.

26-AUG-07

Another place you wouldn't normally see but where a camera can squeeze in. Fascinating!

25-AUG-07

Looking across the river Severn at dusk.

24-AUG-07

There are places you just wouldn't want to stick your head in, like a public bin! But with a camera can see the hidden world, at a safe distance.

23-AUG-07

Now this is what I call bangers and mash! The sausages where beef and Guinness, hence the Guinness to accompany it in the background. Mmmmm.

Ahh, look at him, as if butter wouldn't melt, but 5 mins earlier he was barking for no reason and it was about 11pm so he was in the doghouse!

This is a real window display in Lydney. Now the thing that amazed me, was the way they casually display pants and a bra with a handbag and shoes!!! It's just wrong, but it did make POTD.

A common site this time of year. This was taken just before Minsterworth on my way home.

Water wheel at the Dean Heritage Centre.

Some cats have it all.

Life through a pint of cider and black.

Another beautiful sky shot.

14-AUG-07


I was out walking KC and we saw this frog. It was too dark for the camera's auto focus to work, so it was a case of point and shoot. I was amazed it came out in focus.

13-AUG-07

It's fruit smoothie time again. Strawberries prepare to be mushed.

12-AUG-07

Decided to make POTD the shadow from the hanging basket outside the front door. I thought it made an interesting pattern on the wall.

11-AUG-07

K took me on a mystery day out... to Prinknash Abbey in Gloucester. They have a bird park there and this was one very curious guinea foul!

This was one of those last minute, end of the day shots. It's a bench, but I didn't want to use flash and so had to rest the camera on one end of the bench and use a timer to avoid camera shake... So now you know.

9-AUG-07


Cycled over to the "Taurus craft center" where we saw these sculptures, but it was the light which made this photo.

08-AUG-07


Johnny parked his car so badly it looked like it was the cause of an accident. So we got him to do a suitable pose.

07-AUG-07


It's funny what you get in the post these days!

06-AUG-07

Apparently this is a male wolf spider. I didn't really care what it was... all I knew is that is was too big to be in the same room as me!!!

05-AUG-07

Did you know they grow packets of crisps on trees in the Forest. Here is the evidence!

04-AUG-07

The guy that owned this camper was fishing in Lydney lake... I wonder whether he was trying to catch the fish or rescue them??

03-AUG-07

Heidi and I took the opportunity to work outside since it was such a glorious day, and when I looked up I noticed a rainbow... without the rain.

Another photoshoot and I found this scene quite amusing... Photographer trimming the grass with scissors.

01-AUG-07

K and I were messing about with the split screen setting on my camera and this is the result!!! Top half is K and bottom half is me. Freaky!

Today I went to the funeral of Fred Stubbs, who was the man who resprayed my camper van. After the funeral I met K for lunch and this bench just caught my eye. It made me think of Fred who was always there, he had friends who would visit him, but he was also on his own.

30-JUL-07

This was a test for a photoshoot I'm doing next week.

29-JUL-07

Finally the rain has stopped, so since it's starting to feel like summer again, it was time to have a ice cream. Actually I just really liked the ice cream with the sky background.

28-JUL-07

I had to mend a leak in the van and replace the carpet with lino as it's more practical to keep clean and it looks good too. Kacy is the must have accessory for camper vans!

27-JUL-07

I not sure what's happening to K, but today she was making ginger bread people when I got home. They tasted great too. I think she might be turning into a domestic goddess.

26-JUL-07

This was the first time K cooked a bolognese on her own, from scratch...and it was delicious. mmm.

25-JUL-07

Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink... Well this seems to be the case at the moment. There is plenty of flood water but the water supply has been cut off and so everyone has to either get bottled water or collect it from the water bowsers. I guess it's one way to get us to appreciate how precious our water is.
