Right place, right time

R and I decided to brighten an otherwise dull day by going out for lunch in Stratford, which was fun. Afterwards I took my camera and went to the river, but I was frustrated in my search for dragonflies: there … Continued

Despite having all the good equipment, yesterday’s mammoth gardening effort left me too tired today to want to do much. I pottered around with the camera for a while, but I couldn’t seem to apply myself even to that, and … Continued

“What are you looking at?” said a voice next to me. “A Migrant Hawker,” I replied, still leaning way out over the bridge rail and peering downwards through the camera viewfinder. But hearing him hiss, “What did she say?” at … Continued

I had to go to Stratford this morning for yet more blood tests – that’s three sets in four weeks, which I think might be some kind of record – and I decided to reduce my angst afterwards with some … Continued

One of R’s oldest friends came to call today (that’s to say, they’ve known each other since school, rather than that he’s in any sense geriatric), so I left them to their boy talk and went off to Stratford to … Continued

Unexpected

This was a surprise. With L and H both due home for a quick visit I knew I wouldn’t have much time for photography today, so I went out early to my neighbours’ orchard pond, and found both yesterday’s fresh … Continued

Pale frail male

There was very little going on in our garden this morning, invert-wise, so I took a walk along the lane. After being farmed as a hay meadow for a number of years, and supporting the best population of butterflies in … Continued
