Taken while wandering a very quiet City when lockdown was relaxed in late 2021.

luckily no sign of the spider that did this but they have certainly been busy during lockdown!

Mick was down low taking a tree shot so thought I'd take this as something different

Back to the Old Corn Mill Weir in Pleasley. This time, a few super-fast shutter speed shots.

A few more pics from last weekend's trip to the Carrs and Church at Church Warsop.

A selection of birds from my walk yesterday. Really love a crisp winter's day.

Some nasty stuff out there

Grass Parrot says "leave me alone"

Some light at the end of the tunnel or around it, who knows.

Russell Square tube, 15/05/2021

I love the way this turned out. The focus is actually on the maskless man in the cheeky shorts. He seems happy with himself. The man in the mask in the centre of the frame just walked into shot. My left eye was aware of him and I needed him for the shot. The rain that had just stopped made everything glisten and there was that spirit amongst people to go walk the wet streets and tingle in the freshness.

People-watching is a universally enjoyed activity and during lockdown the desire to watch the world pass in front of your eyes has become more heightened. It hasn’t been so easy to interact and so we watch.

Only yesterday, I asked a lady if I could share her table outside a burger bar and she replied: “But I’m smoking and I don’t have my mask on.”

“I don’t mind,” I replied.

“But I do,” she said nervously.

I took this shot standing under the awning at the exit to Russell Square tube. The light and the colours; the mask wearing, non-mask wearing; all caught my eye. The light drenched the rain-soaked Bernard Street as the people left the tube to swim the luminosity.

When it's raining outside, there's usually something to have a snap at indoors!
