With a zoom lens into the sun, this image is a bit grainy, but you can still pick out the handsome, unflashy church up the road from us. It was surrounded by majestic cedars until a couple of years ago, and this view would have looked very different. They became unsafe and had to be chopped down. Taken from the other side of the valley on Berkhamsted Hill, above the castle.
Covid-19 Lockdown boredom. A couple of weeks ago I decided to stop shaving. Anyway, it's a beautiful day here in southern England so have been out in the sunshine. It was warm enough for me to just wear my West Ham shirt and shorts,
Prunus spinosa, blackthorn, early blossom. This is an amalgam of five hand-held images, focus stacked in Photoshop. (I think this is a dogwood but it could be another variety of Prunus.)
during the lockdown , minimal activity along the main roads of metro manila that would normally be busy with vehicles, as media would refer to as "signs of the times"
As the COVID-19 lockdown gets tighter I'm only going out for exercise and food shopping and not taking the camera out as it's difficult to maintain distance living in London. I'm starting to miss it so things like the houseplants and contents of the fridge are starting to look more appealing but it's also a chance to shift to a slower and more deliberate style of photography which I haven't done so much of in the past.
at work during covid 19 lockdown
I had just returned from collecting samples from real patients when my eye was drawn to the teaching lab. These stuffed model, "toy" dogs are used for teaching but just now sit idly awaiting the return of our students.

Went for an early morning walk the other day in the glorious weather. I'm not quite sure what this is, but would guess Blackthorn - anyway whatever it is - it is very pretty. Haven't seen this flare artifact before - but quite like it!
Taken in Dereham, Norfolk.
during lockdown the best time to commute using the bicycle, hardly any cars on the road . just remember to bring plenty of water and food supplies as there are few food establishments open

Cleaning out some old folders tonight - found the folder "bees in lockdown' from 2020 - from one of the many walks I'd made over the road into Blackbutt Forrest ..
Took these with the Sony RX10MKIV a quirky camera that can give some pretty decent results ...

Keep safe everyone!!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
A Young BLM protestor makes the message clear.
Six weeks ago, I was standing in this exact same spot in Trafalgar Square when it was virtually empty except for homeless people waiting patiently for food handouts (elsewhere in my Photostream).
Today could not have been more of a contrast although photographers and police seemed to far out number any protestors at times.
Lockdown 30 Day Photo Challenge
I've randomly selected 30 subjects from a list of 150 suitable things to do during this lockdown period.
I'm hopefully going to post one a day for the next 30 days and all goes well I'll select another 30 after that
According to their latest newsletter, activity has been fizzing at the Sunnyside allotments. People are desperate for some freedom beyond these pesky restrictions; and allotmenteering is so good for mental health and wellbeing. Not mine though. I used to have a plot just beyond the church at the back of this photo. I couldn't take the stress after rats ate my carrots, badgers snaffled my sweet corn and fallow deer trampled my fluted pumpkins. Tsk.
The Mill Bridge over the River Leam in Royal Leamington Spa is awash with padlocks, locked on by members of the public. Looks great.
Every couple of days this Little Sparrowhawk would come to our birdbath, and take a vigorous dip.. Splashing water everywhere...
Being confined to my home and garden means I have to look both inward and outward for pictures. This was taken on a Panasonic GX8 with the 12-60mm Leica Panasonic zoom.
Anyone remember Shillingbury Tales? A gentle drama starring Robin Nedwell and Diane Keen back in the 80's. It was filmed here in this 'idealised English village'. The pretty settlement has a pond, stocks on the green and two (closed) pubs. It has also provided the backdrop to episodes of Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse and The Avengers. This pic is from Ashridge on our epic 12 mile walk this morning. My feet are humming.
