My upload for a weekly challenge I'm doing with a group of Flickr friends. This week's theme is Spring.
By the end of winter, I'm totally over having washing strung up all over the house to dry. We've already had a few isolated spring-like days when it was just perfect drying weather. Bring it on !!
Time to give the local artwork a spit and polish. Little Lonsdale Street at the back of the St Francis Church near the Caretakers Cottage. HFF
There was so very much of it but, it was so sparkling white
and made everything look so clean and new. Now it's beginning to melt and make way for spring and, mud season. That's a nasty part of winter we don't talk about to those who live far south of here. The mud gets on everything everywhere. Especially your dog and car, which, in turn means all over the house. That's why
we have spring cleaning afterwards.
Remember how my main bookshelf looked nearly 2 years ago?? I spent the last two weekends rearranging my room, and this was the result! The shorter shelf was newly purchased just for my fabric stash - this means I can actually step into my walk-in wardrobe now! Yay for floorspace! X3
Everyone is spring cleaning.... time on their hands.

Excuse the appalling English.
Oh that pudding top!
How casual can one go?
Great for doing that springclean though.

1 skip + 1 garage full of junk = decluttering Saturday!
Having said that, still needed to fill the car and go to the tip as the skip could not eat all my garage rubbish......and will need to go again tomorrow!

Having a rare chance to look down at a spruce tree's branches during spring, I got to see this, for me, unknown scene of growth. Some weird shapes budding up here.

Whilst having an October "Springclean" of one of my PC's, a creaking 4 years old AIO desktop I found a "LOST" Image file. Long forgotten but the moment of taking was rekindled in a moment.
Just sharing a photo of my favourite space at home with Flickr friends!
(Sorry if the photo's badly stitched! >__< It's hard to take a photo with the entire view of the space!)
I'm actually really happy of how my room looks like now - I tend to like to move the furnuture around a lot just for variety, but in a small space, it's hard to come up with new arrangements! :D I think it'll stay this way for a while.
Only side of the room not visible is where the door is, and also where the wardrobe is. But quite a lot of my loved posessions are found somewhere in this photo! ;D
Condensation icicles - "The North Wind doth blow and we shall have snow"
We are due to have some heavy snow in the next 24 hours, as it moves across the country and today the winds were so cold that, high up under the eaves on the north elevation, the condensation from the bathroom extract fan froze into icicles, which stayed there all day.
I have never seen this effect before, so I thought it was worth a quick record shot.
The wind chill factor only adds to the problem.
The sea actually started to freeze over at Bembridge on the Isle of Wight today.
(Having seen the black mould high up under the eaves, through the telephoto lens, guess what has just been added to the Spring "To do" list!)

Blue tit moves into a spring home. Mum inside building a good nest. Will keep a close eye on the box and try to capture the day the chicks emerge!
Another image from my archival springclean.
This from Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson. The Cathedral has some spectacular stained glass windows - this one of the contemporary works.
Freshly pressed: horsetail, stinging nettles, cleavers and wheatgrass for our spring cleanse!
The younger daughter, the bravest of all of us, drank it without making a face. Mom was the second bravest... the rest of us followed...
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is one of the most diuretic plants. It is also effective in removing lead accumulations in the body. It contains silica. Silica helps to fix calcium, so that the body can store more of it and then use it to repair bones, collagen and other body tissues. It is also recommended for anemia and to treat deep-seated lung damage, inflammation or benign enlargement of the prostate gland and the removal of kidney stones. Its toning and astringent action make it of value in the treatment of incontinence and bed-wetting in children.
Stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) are the best blood purifier available and have an influence over the pancreas. Stinging nettles also assist in lowering blood sugar, treat anemia, arthritis and rheumatism, respiratory and urinary problems, eczema, asthma, sinusitis and rhinitis, enlarged prostate, protect against hair loss, kidney stones, allergies, hay fever, osteoarthritis, internal bleeding, uterine bleeding, nosebleeds and bowel bleeding, protect against enlarged spleen, diabetes, endocrine disorders, stomach acid, diarrhea, dysentery, lung congestion, cancer, wound healing.
Cleavers (Galium aparine) promotes lymphatic flow and lymphatic drainage of toxins and wastes so that they can be excreted via the urinary system. It is also excellent for skin problems, including eczema, psoriasis, acne, boils, abscesses, urinary infections. urinary stones and gravel, arthritis and gout. It has anti-tumor activity, particularly when in the skin or breasts, and the lymphatic system.
Wheatgrass is used for removing deposits of heavy metals, and cancer-causing agents from the body and for removing toxins from the liver and blood. It is also used for increasing production of hemoglobin, improving blood sugar disorders, preventing tooth decay; improving wound healing; and preventing bacterial infections. Wheatgrass helps in treatment of urinary tract and prostate, gout; liver; ulcerative colitis; joint pain; and chronic skin problems, cancer and arthritis.

As my old photo Frosty Grass Straws started getting a few faves without comments yesterday, I was wondering what was going on, as I hadn't promoted it in any way lately. Then I got a comment telling me it was in the "A Year Ago Today" column of the Explore page.
As this was one of the first batch of photos I uploaded, this means I've been at it for a year now! :-) Here's a mosaic of the photos currently considered to be my most "interesting" to celebrate it! :-) (Can be interesting to look back at this in one year... two years... :-)
For the record: A little over 26,000 views on my photo stream during this first year.
Thanks for all positive and / or constructive comments along the way - I appreciate all input!

Recycling ...in the New Year seems like a good way to start. Excesses after Christmas and New New Festivities quickly build up. Dont forget to recycle your real Christmas Trees too :)
On Saturday 5 June, I spent some time in the Goods Junction signal box giving it a spring-clean. Here are a couple of views from the box looking west.
Unser kleiner Schlafraum oberhalb des Wohnzimmers bekam zur Feier des Tages mein neues "Lieblingskleid" verpasst
This morning, 25 March 2013, Greater Manchester Police conducted a series of raids as part of a big spring clean operation intended to sweep offenders off our streets over the coming days.
Officers are working across Greater Manchester as part of an operation to ensure that crime does not peak over the spring holiday period. At a time where we often see an increase in antisocial behaviour, burglary and robbery we will be making sure that the area becomes a hostile environment for criminals while the good people of our communities are kept safe.
Part of the operation will be focused on working with partners to provide support for vulnerable victims. Officers from the public protection department will be targeting offenders of vulnerability crime such as sex offences in order to take positive action against them.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Wiggett said: “This operation is about cleaning up our streets and sweeping up crime. If you are wanted by the police, I would advise you to turn yourself in or you will find yourself a target for our spring clean.
“Today marks the beginning of an operation, where criminals will be hearing the sound of wham rams forcefully knocking at their front doors. Officers from every division will be targeting offenders who commit any type of crime and threaten any of our communities.
“At this time of year, as the days get longer and the weather gets warmer we generally see an increase in anti-social behaviour and acquisitive crime such as robbery and burglary – particularly through people leaving windows and doors open or sheds and garages unlocked after spending time outside. We ask that you look out for each other, you take care of your personal belongings and that you report any antisocial behaviour to your neighbourhood teams so we can deal with the problem.”
Officers from the tactical aid unit, traffic, ANPR officers, mounted police, dog handlers and special constables will be out supporting each of the divisions on seeking out their most wanted.
An ad-van will be out across Greater Manchester to name and shame offenders who have no choice but to turn themselves in.
Neighbourhood teams will be engaging with local communities and street cleaning projects will be taking place in some areas with partners and community payback teams.
Help to sweep up criminals by reporting anything suspicious to police on 999 or the non-emergency number 101 or report information online by visiting GMP’s website www.gmp.police.uk. If you have any information that you would like to report anonymously you can do so by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Fe em Brasil made me aware of Photojojo's Time Capsule. I signed up, and discovered my "most interesting photo" from a year ago was a poster like this - so its my Flickrversary again! :-)
These are the images currently deemed by Flickr as my "most interesting". I notice there's not anyone taken during the last year - probably because I've stopped posting images to groups with award icons etc. Generally not promoting my photos as much as I used to. :-)
Only four of the photos above were shot with a D-SLR, btw.
