This was a part of a wood panel making up one of the shops of Trentham village, but these panels hads more intricate spirals than on any of the other shops. I think it feels like a bit of an optical illusion, as well as the likeness to an eye.

Some rivets and a letterbox on a big old door in Cirencester. The edges are exactly lined up but it still feels oddly crooked to me, I think someone put the rivets in squiffy.

My worst nightmare came true yesterday and my dSLR took a dunking in some water which has fried the electrics and it's now totally kaput. A friend has very kindly offered to let me borrow their spare camera but in the mean time I'm stuck with a couple of temperamental compacts. This was taken with an Ixus 850, which is a good quality camera but has a power issue and doesn't last many photos. I'm reasonably happy with this photo though, although I have no idea what they are!

A little something I'm working on (the object, not the photo).

Time to get the caterpillar spray out in the greenhouse! It's a shame to lose a potential butterfly, but on the other hand I don't want to lose my aubergine plants either!

My intention today was to walk into Durham from my friends' house and have a look at the city. It's meant to be an hour's walk down the country lanes but I got repeatedly sidetracked by butterflies, bugs and barley, and it took me 2.5 hours to get there, by which time I was parched and hungry! I didn't mind the diversion though, since the aim had been to find something to photograph, and I found plenty, even if it wasn't the urban experience I had expected! I was quite taken with these lines through the barley field.

Sticking with the experiment on simplicity. Let me know what you think.

I'll freely admit this was a bit of a disaster. I've been looking at some other people's photos and thinking how I'd like to work on simplicity. However the time to do this is possibly not by taking any old photo when heading out. This is neither suggestive, artistic, nor does it have interesting light or subject, but it's still a lesson to me!

I had a bit of a nightmare with photos today. At lunchtime I tried (again) to take a macro shots of my own eye - my laptop crashed and I ran out of time. I tried again in the evening - a series of errors (dead batteries being the final one) meaning that I failed again. Then I left my camera recording a star trail while I went to Asda but there was too much light pollution to make a decent photo. So instead, here's a photo of my lounge lampshade! I'm actually quite drawn by the pattern, and can be found staring at it when the TV is boring.

This is the Millennium Stone on Derwent Water, installed to commemorate 100 years of the National Trust in the Lake District.
There are some lovely photos of this online such as this and this, but given the conditions at the time I visited (which was a quick recce on a dull day without checking tide times or realising the direction of the outlook, which happened to be into the sun) I'm happy with the result.

On a little ride around on my motorbike today I stumbled across a museum that puts on free lunchtime concerts, and an adjacent park with aviary. I don't know what type of bird this is, some kind of finch, but it was lovely and soft and delicate, and still characterful with its bright red beak and spotted underbelly.

I just liked the way these pots were stacked. Can you spot me? This high ISO was a mistake because I didn't change it from a previous photo.
