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.

So this happened today...
Swim22 is a virtual swimming the channel challenge oner 12 weeks from 22nd February to 22nd May. There are 3688 people registered on the challenge leaderboard, although around 1000 don't seem to have any miles logged. (This might just be that they are not using the online tracker). To date 302 of us have logged at least 22 miles, and the guy topping the board at the moment has done over 145 miles, meaning that he's over 1/4 of the way on his fourth trip to Calais!
The facebook group has been very supportive, and we were all discussing having a croissant in "Calais" when we got there. This is mine, which kept me going over the last 20 lengths today, as the pool seemed to be filled with treacle. Those who are swimming the return leg, not including me, are promising themselves fish and chips when they return to "England".
If anyone feels able to support Diabetes UK on my behalf, I have posted the link to my JustGiving page below. Just the price of a coffee would be appreciated. My apologies for being rather absent in the group, but I've been concentrating on the challenge!
Went to Poole Harbour Museum with Liz because I wanted to see the exhibition there on the work of Jack Lowe with The Lifeboat Station Project.
This is the apron used by Jack to process his wet plate collodion images at each of the lifeboat stations he visited over the first four years of this project. His work is absolutely gorgeous, and I recommend it if you're in the area up to the 22nd April.

The Guggenheim (officially the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum). Founded by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1937 as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, it was renamed after it's founder's death in 1952.
The current building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) and built in 1959.
Camera Club photoshoot to Parham House and Gardens, to meet Elizabeth Zeschin. Elizabeth is the Artist in Residence, and has an exhibition of her cyanotype and Salt Prints in the Seed Room until the end of June. We had been invited to meet her, and she very generously gave us a "tour" of her darkroom a mile away. I say tour as 7 of us only just fitted in, with no room for movement!
Worth a visit, especially if you are RHS members, because entry to the Gardens (where the Seed Room is situated) is free on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Exhibition 2-5pm.
Bike ride on the Surrey Hills. Sadly I missed the hunt approaching, which would have made a better picture.
Part of rural life...
A trip up to London to volunteer with CafeArt's MyLondon camera handout to people affected by homelessness.
Afterwards, I went to the Saatchi Gallery to see an exhibit recommended by one of my fellow volunteers, the work of Ara Güler.
I remembered that the gallery was showing an installation called Fata Morgana as part of it's Kaleidoscope exhibition.
Going in the installation was somewhat underwhelming, but photographing others in there was fascinating.
A better one for the Treasure Hunt perhaps?
Poetry book published by the charity I work for, every poem has one of my photographs and I submitted some poems too that were accepted - been an amazing project
Our neighbour has hired a JCB to dig out his lake. He was helping on the dumper truck. His garden looks a bit of a mess now!
Another excursion, this time to the Russian Border. On the return, we stopped at a viewpoint, so I'm spotting these Western Jackdaws lined up...
Treasure Hunt 16: Bird on a Stick
Spent the afternoon emptying out kitchen scraps compost bin for the first time ever. Lots of lovely compost, and three lost peelers, sadly all rusted and useless. For the record, I found another the next day emptying the even older compost bin!
A wander around Bodø, I found this safety information by the harbour.

A day for recovering and doing the food shopping.
As I came out, the skies were fairly dramatic. I Have been meaning to collect some skies, so here's one for the infant collection.
It all started with two new OS maps, which wouldn't upload to the app on my phone. A call to the OS ended with a lesson in Android OS upgrade, from Jellybean, through KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo to Pie. The OS only support from Lollipop now, and I was on Jellybean or probably KitKat!
New phone day...
I find it fascinating how sizes go down, and are now going up again!
On the bottom row are all the phones I've ever had since the later 1990's.
On top, an oddity of Alex's, then Dave's phones, at least one of which was an Alex offload...
Dave and I went for a walk in Horsham to check out a possible CC photowalk.
This cat was so like our late Opal, but wouldn't wake up for us to get a full fix of fluffiness...
Instead, there was a slight squirm to curl up tighter!
#techforgood - this years team from JPMorgan who will work with us - MindMosaic Counselling and Therapy- to develop a client management platform. Great to be part of the team.
"A cat may look at a king is an English proverb that means even someone of low status has rights. A cat may look at a king implies that all people have certain minimal rights by virtue of being alive. Like many proverbs, the origin is unknown".
This is a neighbour's cat watching me on my knees capturing fungi in the field behind my home. She followed me later into the woodland so I hope she found her way home ok.
Simplicity shows us the true beauty of life—a bird flying in the open sky, trusting the wind, and exploring endless possibilities. Life doesn’t need to be complicated; it’s in simple moments that we find clarity and the courage to embrace new opportunities.

Eternal Impression-Photography by Huzzatul Mursalin
From a day with Liz at Brands Hatch photographing the BEMSEE test day.
This one from Clearways shows the general scene of the test day. Taken and posted as my 365 to allow me to look through the others at leisure!
I was trying to get the feel of the bikes at different angles. Ideally wanted three, with the front and back ones leaned right over.
Afternoon spent decimating rhododendrons, kept having to wheel the barrow around this little fungus, as I knew I wanted to snap it for the POTD.
Another lacklustre day, but afternoon tea with a piece of wedding cake cheered me up.
Treasure Hunt 13: Afternoon Tea
We went to Pulborough Colour Run, held as part of St Mary's School Summer Fair.
Spoke to the headteacher at the start, and she understandably wasn't happy with me keeping images of the children on my harddrive, so I have shared the ones with recogniseable children with the school via Dropbox. I've promised to delete any others with children in after a short period of time.
I've only shared ones with unrecogniseable children here, and have blurred any out that I feel are too close to being visible.
Here's a feel of the afternoon, which luckily stayed dry, although soon after we left there was heavy rain!
At his 90th birthday party, family friend Roy reads out his letter from Gary Cahill, the Captain of Chelsea FC. Roy has been a loyal fan all his life, and his eldest daughter arranged for this to happen.
I have known Roy all my life, since his family moved into our road the year before I was born.
Setting the camera up on the kitchen worktop, not to self, if you're going to bother to set the tripod up, it's worth putting the 100-400mm lens on as well. The 100mm macro wasn't really up to the job!
For the camera club Challenge 2019 topic for May of "Bird on a Stick, Fence, Rope etc".
This rather prosaic pigeon describes one of my favourite films...
After Monday's Macro image of one of these, I decided to document the whole collection from Alex's 10 year membership of Storm Force.
