sprinkles

 

Yes those white spots are snow sprinkles reflecting the on camera flash that went off unexpectedly. It didn't spoil the stroll we took down the road towards Number 1 North Tolsta along with Keith the cat. We found the air was crisp and relatively calm after a cold snowy night. 

I have a plan to try and kick start Mr Toots into a photo project this year. I know it's like kicking a wall but I feel I want to persist. Toots has a thought to photograph trees for some reason that escapes me. So i thought I'd start the snapping the things to encourage him Only, I couldn't face going out to find some proper trees as there none near here and it would have a meant a drive the next village at the least and on slippery roads. So we went home and had a nother cup of tea.

This rare snap of mine was taken with  a canon eos 50, 40mm lens and HP5 film should you care to know.

2025

 

A very Happy and healthy New Year to my reader.

I made it to 2025 after a bumpy 2024. And I celebrate the day with a dig*tal snap by dearest Eve. Here I am pictured just before I staggered along the paths of the Castle grounds in Stormoway yesterday. It was wet. And lovely I might add.

We had been to the cinema the day before to see a 'documentary' about a bear in Peru which was a tad disappointing in the end. Surprised me that there were so many kids there for a subject matter as was, but by the end of the endless ads beforehand most of them were asleep anyway.

As you might imagine we painted the town red last night [in our dreams] and saw the new year in while we slumbered. such are the delights of old age.

I hopr 2025 is going to be peaceful and healthy for us all.
