Edward Elgar and his bicycle. Hereford Cathedral.
The composer lived in the town from 1904 to 1911 when he was at the height of his popularity. In many ways it's ironic that this sculpture stands in the grounds of an Anglican Cathedral - Elgar was a Roman Catholic and his choral work, "The Dream of Gerontius" was based on a Roman Catholic text and caused some disquiet in the Anglican establishment.
Note the conflict and clash of the 20th century in a 19th century setting. Pizza Huts are forever, but there may not be a lot of folks doing one hour photo processing anymore. The actual "Capital C" City of London is only about a mile square. The rest are the duchies and boroughs of places like Kensington and Chelsea that make up Metropolitan London.
turns out i'm pretty hopeless at 365 projects!
but my boyfriend says he still loves me anyway.
(to be fair i have been taking a picture each day, they were just totally uninspiring so i didn't upload.)

i might have accidentally gotten a week behind on this project, oops. my garden has grown heaps since it was attacked by the gardeners so i got some ideas flowing. this was more of an experiment than anything but it's better than nothing. thank you for everything <3

This is not a recent photo. However it shows me taking notes - something I do compulsively.
When asked what do you do in your "spare" time (ha ha ha) - or - What are your hobbies? One of my first answers has been "Writing!"
I don't claim to be a great writer. But the contemplation and act of writing does bring me joy. I've volumes to prove it.
In fact, if you were to ask "What makes you happy?" One answer for sure would be "A good supply of smooth blank paper, a pen I love, and four hours of guaranteed uninterrupted time." Heaven!
Some friends and followers are creative and accomplished writers. You can tell who they are because their comments are unique and meaningful.
Though all comments are appreciated - some are timeless treasures. Perhaps they will make an interesting book project.
Some comments are poetry, some are advice, some are unique points of view or twists on the obvious, and some are puns that make me laugh even thinking about them.
Some of you have sent me your personal writing privately to enjoy - what a treat!
Thank you all.
Though no promise of quality can be made, I'll do my best to respond in kind.

Local real estate agents mail these out on a regular basis (in hopes you will phone them when you list your house, lol). They come in handy!

Un géant de 4 mm ! Juvénile. Le peu de marques sur le corps m'avaient fait douter de son identité.
A solitary blossom of wild garlic (Cipura paludosa) graces the lawn by the entrance portal to the National Theater's Sala Martins Pena.
I'm actually believing that no one has ever even accidentally hit that in the past 50 years. Not even one of the Kennedys! Maybe Teddy Roosevelt was the last to knock into it.
on transience and self
This is a comment on the galleries 'kiss the pain away' and 'show us a smile, then', which I compiled from among some of your brilliant and interesting photos over the past couple of days.
The x-ray is from 2010.
(I'll catch up with recent comments and uploads some time soon.)
