You know when you run out of time in the day because of your lack of planning ahead, laziness, getting distracted and also, of course, loads of work...

you end up staying on your computer til 6:19am doing something you could've done at a better time of hour... but oh well.

this is me, fiddling with some new aperture settings and photoshop techniques.

For a long time I had this tree inside the house. When I decided the tree needed more sun and fresh air I took it to the back yard and it started recuperating. Left it in the back yard in the planter for about two years and now I decided to put it in the ground. Found a spot in front of Monroe Avenue and looks a lot happier.

North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (NAFCo) (free event), www.northatlanticfiddle.com/.

Country: United States (Canadian resident).. Style: Traditional Scottish Folk & other styles.

Lineup: Alasdair Fraser (fiddle), Natalie Haas (cello) and guest: Galen Fraser (fiddle).

Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas are regulars at NAFCo (I saw them during my previous visit in 2006). I took photos of their duo in London four years ago (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/albums/72157649291735319/), plus each of them, at this festival and elsewhere, with other lineups (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/alasdairfraser,-al..., www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/nataliehaas,-alasd...). They were joined during their set by Fraser's son, Galen, whose Atlantic Folk Trio played before them (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/albums/72157698359110022/).

Cat on the fiddle

View to the higher moorlands from the top of Eccles Pike. Cat & Fiddle is the name of the road that runs through here from Buxton to Macclesfield. It takes its name from the pub at the summit (520 metres).

This file belongs to a group of 3 months worth of photographs lost when an old pc crashed - it really pays to back up your files!

Using Recuva, a free downloadable program, I managed to retrieve a few at least of the lost files.
