Some more tweeters in the garden

Another good test of the Pixel 4 and taking photos of the stars

Sparkly Trees

First photo taken with the Spectre app, pretty good even if I do say so myself

Crimewatch photo of the prowler in our garden

Next step in the all electric journey, the old Nissan Leaf served us well over the years, but the time has come to move on #zeroemission #ev

The elephant guardian of Bedford Way

Risks - #DearJune - Seems like every day we take risks with even the most mundane of things, you wouldn't think driving to work should be risky, but every day it is because of people who don't give the road their full attention

Forgetting - #DearJune - Happens more and more as I get older, 15 years ago I knew everyone in the building, what machine and software they required for their work, nowadays I need the support of technology to remember to do almost everything, if it's not on a task list or a document somewhere, then I don't know about it, crazy how times change

Not a bad start to our holiday

Testing out my new camera

Night sight on the Pixel 4 is better than iPhone low light

First bout of Archery for a couple of years, not a bad effort, 48 from 5 arrows in the Personal Best game

Misty morning walk

Built my first PC in years, fully silent, no fans, I'm sure there's a Craven Cottage joke in there

Travelling - #DearJune - I'm one of those odd people who doesn't like travelling, but I like going new places and exploring, it's just the getting there bit that puts me off, if I could go anywhere right now, it'd probably be Venice

Music - #DearJune - So my favourite gig of all time was this, seeing Green Day on my birthday, don't think my feet touched the floor the whole time they were on, it was rammed in there, decent price too!
... And yep, still have the ticket :-)

Beginnings - #DearJune - This was my first car, the one where it all began, it helped cultivate my love of driving, which then led us to an area where we could afford a property bigger than a shoebox and gave us the freedom to explore the UK on various road trips, to places we'd likely not have been able to visit without wheels, some of the best things in my life have been made possible from this humble beginning.

The reception area at Eagle Brae, even the duck house on the pond is in the style of a cabin

Monday

Back for our annual Bath ............. trip

Little tweeter in our garden today, part of a family learning to fly, this one struggled but I’m sure it’ll get the hang of it

Another decent attempt at a night sky photo, need to work out better settings to get the moon in properly

iPhone 11 better at capturing the night sky, but still room for improvement

The Annual Bath

Sea - #DearJune - one of my favourite places, St. Ives in Cornwall

Lightning - #DearJune - Always a big fan of lightning storms, unfortunately I've never managed to get a decent photo of it, definitely prefer being inside when it comes about, always disappointing when the weather forecasts a nice storm and it's just rain

Yellow - #DearJune - An awkward one being a Fulham fan, but this was my first ever football shirt, when I started watching it, I didn't have a team, I just liked watching Gazza play, then I think it went David Seaman, David Beckham and then Fulham, once my Dad started to take us to the Cottage regularly
