I thought this rural B&W photo might be a fitting post considering our surging gasoline prices. I came across these two old farm tanks in a farmer’s field near Panora, Iowa, and photographed this scene with a Holga lens on a digital Canon camera,

I will still be mostly off for awhile. My wife’s surgery went fine, but she is still in the hospital recovering and will likely be transferred to a rehabilitation center within the next few days.

Down south

We’ve travelled down to Norwich, Norfolk.

Burnley play here tomorrow and kick off is at 12.30.

We’re going to be in the Director’s box for the game… a first for me.

I’ll be watching the game with my pal, Nic, whilst our wives go exploring around Norwich.

We’re staying in the Holiday Inn which is at the football stadium.

A Great Blue Heron delivers another stick to the nest!

There are at least a dozen active heron nests at the GB heron rookery, and I counted 16 herons perched on or near their nests.

The local birds know that our garden is guarded by cats, so they wisely stay out...

We did something that we have been talking about for years, that is, stop the car and take a photo of this bus.

Not been for a while now....so maybe it's OK to have a look back

While on Caldey Island I was lucky enough to see this beautiful red squirrel hiding up in the trees. It was quite dark but I could hear him chirping at me to leave as I was too near to his feeding station so I knew he was up there somewhere! It's not the best focus but I was happy to get a shot as they are a rarity these days.
