Watching for Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth from the garden of land that was owned by Sir George Burns who formed the Cunard Line with Samuel Cunard and David Maciver. www.britannica.com/biography/Sir-Samuel-Cunard-1st-Baronet
I took so many images of the skies on Saturday and yet it was this one with the birds that captured my heart, they were soaring and calling to each other
In the pool with our son, his wife and the two grandchildren.
Oliver jumps in on Daddy, wearing his sharks fin buoyancy support.
A gorgeous warm pool for playing in, not so good for trying to swim lengths later in the week.
A trip up to London with Liz to see a couple of exhibitions. I'd been watching Breakfast TV on the BBC, and realised that the George Michael Collection was on show at Christies before the auction the same evening.
Some of the items were a little near the mark, but this was a Tracey Emin one, which sold for £347,250!
Treasure Hunt 49: Neon
A play with the Lensbaby on Lancing beach, trying to convey the backwash in a nightmarish way.
My way of a tribute to Keith Flint of The Prodigy.
I always say the 90's passed me by musically, but I always loved hearing this band. Never been to a festival or rave, but I have become quite taken with dance music as I've aged :-)

A quick trip to our son's, then on to Whiteley Shopping Centre to look for shoes for niece's wedding in February.
There were several groups of hare sculptures with scarves on. I enjoyed the way the little girl was looking over at them as they walked past, but have blurred her out more for anonymity.
Another day in London, this time with an early start for my annual heart check up. All was well, and I escaped to Postmans Park opposite St Barts Hospital for my lunch.
There was a whole wall of tiled panels as tributes for people who lost their lives saving others.
The day ended with chairing a Print Walk at Storrington CC (idea stolen shamelessly from Bognor CC).
A sub-committee meeting then coffee club at the Weald and Downland Living Museum's Waterside Cafe.
A couple fo shots of the roof in case I didn't get around to any more photography. The Lamp saved the day, as I'm not entirely sure what happened to the rest of it!

FCB 52 Week Challenge week 32 Symmetry
One that didn't go quite right, nor did our ride. My bike decided that it had an extra gear past Granny gear, so the chain kept jumping off between cassette and spokes. We stopped for Dave to adjust it. In fact I ended up with losing 4 gears from the other end, as well as having to avoid Granny gear for the ride. Not that difficult with a e-mtb though ;-)
We both have these squeaky yellow/orange duckies on our bikes to warn walkers of our approach. Many walkers ask "why don't you have a bell", and we explain that we prefer to call out Good morning or afternoon. The duckies are to replace a shout out. However, they seem to catch the attention of people's dogs long before the people respond!
The sun was shining through duckie, hence the total failure on exposure. The only alternative for the day was a wider view, with Dave's bottom in wide view!!
The top two show the scale of the problem... Lath and plaster gave up the ghost several years ago, and we have had these holes in our hallway ceiling ever since.
Bottom two show the end of day one.
Luckily it was a dry day for the plasterboarding, but still chilly with the door open a lot of the time!
Spent the day in the garden tidying up for the up coming camera club summer party. Realised that these wretched grasses (I have another, less polite name for them) were ready to start seeeding, so went around cutting the seedheads off. Thought I'd get away with shears, but no chance. Secateurs and careful loading into a bag to avoid more of these plants next year. This task took all afternoon. Why is my garden so big, and why do we go off doing things instead of gardening for 10 years at a time!
Taken this morning in a shelter below the castle in Aberystwyth when we went for a brief stroll before driving home.
Suffice to say that The Happy Wanderer is now home but very tired - catch up soon with my 365 group.
Popped into Storrington, and Mark Lewis here was more than happy for me to photograph him, and asked me to send it to the local free magazine. Here's a write-up in the local paper.

Storrington is a popular cross country cut through to get to Gatwick for traffic from Chichester and further west.
The air quality has been being monitored for a couple of years, with little sign of any changes.
Spotted this horse galloping through the Library car park at Storrington. The number of banks now open in the village total just 2 now, after the losses of Lloyds and NatWest. Pulborough has none though.
FCB's 52 Week Challenge Week 46: Car Park
This drinking fountain was first installed in the Carfax in Horsham in 1898 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
In 1947 it became a traffic hazard, and was removed, and remained in storage for 30 years.
In 1977 it was re-sited in Copnall Way for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee and an inscription was added to mark the occasion. In 1994 it was moved to it's present location in Chart Way. The original drinking mugs, once chained on, have long since disappeared.
Thanks to Horsham Photography for the information.
Finding the perfect wedding dress, no small feat, especially since it is the most important dress you will never wear! Once you start shopping for clothes the seemingly infinite possibilities is overwhelming, especially if you are a picky bride. But do not think that shopping for your wedding...
I really hoped this would happen this year, but is was fitting that it did so on Dave's first day of retirement!
A trip up to Buckingham to see this van, which we couldn't resist. Name as yet undecided, and we are to collect him/her on Monday on our return from a 90th birthday party in Solihull!
To be fitted out as a camper (as Dave says, after it's been used as haulage for our son who moves house soon, and wants to get rid of excess stuff).......
Treasure Hunt 47: Look What I Just Bought
Managed my penultimate swim for Swim22 (see next Tuesday...) at Burgess Hill's Triangle pool before heading off to the Sussex Photographic Federation's Print Championships. I probably smelt of eau de chlorine...
Storrington came a creditable 7th of 15 clubs, which is great as we are only around 30 members, and struggle to come up with work from 10 photographers.
Seen across the road from the Kings Centre in Burgess Hill.
:)
its 8/8/8!
and this is the closest to an 8 or an infinity symbol i could find from images photographed before my camera took a dive through the air.. :)
am sorry to have to be away from your streams
thank you so very, very much for your kind thoughts to us .. which are true soul nourishment
and saving grace
an abundance of blessings, good luck and love! today.. and infinitely *:)

A session on retouching using a Wacom at Park Cameras, there were several stands including Wild Arena, where these fungi were overheating a bit.
A few quick snaps...
I'd been racking my brains for one for the Treasure hunt Zodiac. The only thing I could thing of was Pandora, so I popped into the Horsham branch.
May have fibbed slightly that I was thinking of a Christmas present, and could I please take a photo?
Ta-daa, Zodiac ticked off at last!
I wish I could have found a Ford Zodiac, as it is the luxury version of the Zephyr I remember my Dad had in the 60's.
Treasure Hunt 75: Zodiac
A trip to Hever Castle. The Tudor Garden wasn't looking at its best, but came up with a Treasure Hunt topic, so I was happy.
Herbs for strewing were fragrant plants used in medieval times that were strewn on the floor to add a welcome scent to the room in a bid to mask bodily and other odours.
A very interesting place to visit, there is currently a display of costumes and photographs from various films shot there, including Anne of the Thousand Days, when Elizabeth Taylor was on set to ensure her husband's roving eye didn't settle on Genevieve Bujold.
