This is the first year in a long time I can remember that my Dad's tomatoes have not looked great! Probably still tastes good, though! :)
Guess who's turn it was to clean the kitchen. But chocolate milk and cigarettes were begging for consumption first!

The only crazy little thing I could come up with on short notice was Papayahead. White Sands Resort, (not-at-all-like) Mombasa, 25-Mar 2007.

Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.
Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.
And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
I miss you more.

Well 2023 is nearly over and it hasn’t been great for me personally. What with a trapped nerve issue in January with pain dominating the first 3 months of the year. Then the health of my ageing doggies took over my thoughts and concerns, losing Oscar in June and nearly losing Toby in July. So I’m hoping for a better things in 24, less pain and sadness would be a nice start. One thing that has kept me going this year is the kindness show to me from you, my friend on Instagram and Flickr. When I was at my lowest and pouring my feelings out in my posts the replies were fantastic. Not only were you lot keeping me entertained by taking fantastic photos and stories your kind responses were second to none. So my deepest thank you goes to you all, and I wish you a happy new and hope your camera’s capturer the great magic and beauty. If we all wish harder enough we will see the back of the Tories and we can hope to see polices and deeds that start the healing, but we have a long way to go. Todays photo was snapped at the start of this month with my little pocket Sony, I’m amazed I grabbed it.

“In my own worst seasons I've come back from the colourless world of despair by forcing myself to look hard, for a long time, at a single glorious thing: a flame of red geranium outside my bedroom window. And then another: my daughter in a yellow dress. And another: the perfect outline of a full, dark sphere behind the crescent moon. Until I learned to be in love with my life again. Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and over again.” - Barbara Kingsolver
Part inspired by the Flower Fairies illustrations, I grew up with these as a kid and always identified with the Blackthorn Fairy most, because she looked totally badass! Climbing on thorns, tattered clothes, my kinda fairy.
Today has been lovely, I woke up pretty shattered from yesterday's wedding and went to do some couple portraits about an hour's drive away - I'm able to sing in the car again (loudly) and I feel like this last week I've felt really grateful to be alive again.
That was one of the hardest things to get my head around after he died, I had no idea how I was going to ever WANT to be in this part of my life again. I read somewhere that life is only ever comparisons - the state of oneself with an old self, circumstances with other circumstances, etc etc. I loved life SO much before him, with him, that I couldn't see how it would ever compare. Letting go of the idea of comparison has been huge, moments are only ever moments, so if I want to sing loudly in the car then I will damn well sing until the moment comes to an end. And as my collection of wonderful moments grows, hopefully so will my overall perspective on the "enjoyableness" of my current present! Boom.
And yes, I was totally naked in a boggy moor on the roadside, here. RIP, my dignity.
Good thing SRG and DK were ahead of me, I never get over on this side of the Twin Cities. I would have been totally lost without being able to follow them around.
In some of the nicest light we had all day the coal train notches up as it pulls a slight hill.

Having struggled with Elements 12 for god knows how many years and only upgrading to Photoshop CC late last year I thought it was about time that I tried to get to grips with it properly as most of my uploads follow the same tried and trusted process flow.
So one of my many 2018 New Year resolutions is to try new things and see where it takes me. I'm not tying myself down to a 365 or a 52 week project but will post images in the hope of some good tips from you all. So here's my first attempt... I don't know if this is colour popping or selective colouring but it was far easier than I thought although I'll have to go back to the videos and make notes as I've a memory like a sieve or is it a goldfish... see I've forgotten already!
About the picture, we were just on our way for coffee and cake when Mrs R spotted this pink taxi... that's a bit different! Out came the camera and no sooner had I taken the first shot the taxi driver spotted me and wound his window up and turned his back on me... must be shy I thought! I rushed off to catch up with Mrs R who was on a mission to find the biggest cake, but checking my framing in the rear screen I wasn't happy with the symmetry (you know me) so went back for another go. Oh boy, was that taxi driver unhappy with me... he got out of his cab, shouted something, waved his hand in an ungentlemanly manner and stormed off to the pavement - that's him on the left.
Well... if you want to go unnoticed... don't paint yer cab pink!
First thing you might of noticed was a fantastic maze that was hand drawn on the beach using a stick and a water bottle as a
measuring tool.
The rest is the "Strand" beach in Morro Bay, ca. on a September evening.

A build/figure a long time in the making. Longer than I think I realize. I’ve been brainstorming on how to make a good looking Swamp Thing that didn’t make use of a big fig base as I wanted him to be more scaled down than the monstrous stature that is a big fig. I feel like this is a good middle from a normal figure and a big fig. The build, with how the legs are posed, stands only a head above a normal figure, giving the build a menacing look. I have plans to use this base for future characters which will be fun to figure out.
I know everybody is doing thing but
1. I forgot my tripod at my moms
2. I saw somebody do this months ago but my scanner didnt work so... (#hipster)
On the rare occasions I get to photograph this view there is always something in the way! A couple of years ago it was a flock of Geese. This year - the big green thing!

Somehow this started as a picture of trees and wound up as a Bird Thing. I try to go where the image takes me and hopefully it works out. You don't want to see the one's that don't.
Selfie in an old abandoned water tower plinth. This is a structure which once supported a huge water tank as used in the age of steam.
Shot with a Sony 14mm G Master lens tilted way back towards the sky and a top tip for making yourself look considerably slimmer than in real life ;-)
I heard on the grapevine that there was a couple of otters in the local lake, so I thought I would go see..
Sadly they were nowhere to be seen, but I did manage to shoot this "Big Bird Thing...
Think I could get into this wildlife photography lark...
This Male Smew was photographed at Dungeness RSPB . Where he has been keeping his distance whilst sheparding two females around , this image was taken as he flew back to them . He has taken to feeding on one of the small lakes first thing in the morning .
Around one to two Hundred Smew Visit the UK each winter only around 30 to 60 of these are Male .
