Our dependency on others

I often wonder at the constant motion our world is forever in, not only the rotating aspect of the planet or the cyclical phase of the moon and stars but of those people who work tirelessly through the night to ensure our expectations are met. That could be anyone from the emergency services through to […]

Academician in the ascendancy

Of late I have started going backward, backwards that is as in the reverse direction to that which I normally pursue my early morning walks or bike rides. One sees things differently as the perspective is changed as is the light and shade. I don’t know why I have never clocked this as eye catching […]

Out of a dark place

The past six months have been very dark and not just because it was winter. We were the victims of a crime back in October that saw the perpetrator sent down for 3 years 6 months the week before Easter. During that time our focus was on our world and putting what was wronged right […]

Places and their vibes

No matter where you live or where you visit, everywhere has vibes, be they good, bad or indifferent. Being a visitor in a place as opposed to living in a place always offers up a different viewpoint , perspective or impression. Well it does for me if not you. I live in a town centre […]

Favourable light

Most things look better in favourable light. In my last post I showed some images of an Otter bitch and her cubs. This chance encounter was late in the day with the sun at an angle that I always find pleasing to say the least. This image was made as the three young ones circled […]

Antics on the Ant and suffering from the wind

I have been away. I knew my batteries were run down prior to this return visit to Norfolk in pursuit of both a busman’s holiday and getting away from it all. Mrs O had been concerned with me burning the candle at both ends before we went up to these foreign parts and I had […]

Light and light at Felixstowe

I went to a planning meeting today at Landguard. I collaborate with a group of nomadic photographers who exhibit the qualities of cats, and at times exhibit photographs. About the only time we meet up is when there is tea, coffee, cake or bacon butties on offer, otherwise we just do our own thing. This […]

Gummed up eyes does mean Spring is here

What an awful strap line but nevertheless very true. I could feel some changes coming on with my body all week and yesterday’s stroll and pause and stroll and pause along the Gipping at Barham manifested itself as reaction to tree pollen. The pussy willows were looking beautiful in the balmy spring air yesterday but […]

Of Labradors and Grebe

I went out this afternoon for a number of reasons; I needed a walk after too many hours testing website products on an agile project this week including this morning I needed to get my eye back in for wildlife especially as Spring is very much on its way I suppose it was seeing a […]

Perfect light between storms

It has been a wild week off and on with troughs ploughing from across the pond and it looks like a polar drift due next week. Topsy-turvy weather patterns play havoc with my wardrobe. One minute I am in Eskimo gear, the next I’m peeling off layers in sweltering in tropical heat, well that is […]
