I am now getting to the stage, where a little sun would be really nice and maybe around 15c or so, not really ask for much,, but still you can see how things are growing and greening up. Looking towards the woods and you can see the canopy showing change, each time I go there just now, it is like looking for old friends. This week at work, we started 3 people and by Thursday all gone, plus 2 others. One left from my dept, had been here for close to 20yrs. The place just got to him in the end. Life is a funny old thing we all, have a different one of course. Over the last week, I got filled in on someone's life. Parts I had known, but other bits as well, we had history from over 45yrs ago, my first kiss and my first hand job. Tomorrow she heads back over the border to her home, She has a house in a wood, really nice looking place, by the pictures she showed me. She is a major taker of pictures on her phone. Never seen so many pictures of things on a phone, I treat mine like a camera , where I delete most after I kept with what I want, she thought it was so funny. She does want one of my pictures and I gave her the file. I have always wondered what this one will look printed and one day I might. But as we talked last Sunday, it was when I got one of my favourites of all time. She asked me if, I had gotten any pictures and I just smiled. I had another good week, for I did get another view, that has now been added to my favourites or all time as, the folder is named, The Ancients, as I call them is the subject, daffodils I have one too post at the end of todays blog. Part of the challenge is that it is a climb to get there, very steep slope that I have slid down a few times over the years. I can shoot it from below, but getting close is what it is all about, I think this year, they are the best I have ever seen, I was lying here, taking the views in and I did think is Mother Nature sending me a message here in what she is sharing with me. I then just walked further along the slope, until I eventually rise to the top of the gorge, walk on the path and then head down to the river to cross. I sat for a while sheltered from the bitter wind. Then it is a case of cross the river and climb back up the gorge, I did think, I am the only person, who actually even goes down or up here . But one thing about this wind it sure does dry the land up quick.  Here is my Ancient's , I am thinking one day a little book maybe around 12 pictures only. The only thing with this one forgot to add my white border, that I have been adding I think that it makes the picture pop more, what does anyone think on that one. | ||

I have always gotten more pleasure seeing others happy. My being different from the normal, is what makes me normal. I have never went with the flow, done what most others do. Being a loner makes it easier, as you never really feel the need to fit in, I have tried that, but it just makes me feel lonely. I posted a picture and it got a negative comment, I just thanked them for the comment and well moved on. I always try to thank everyone and just move on. You see all over the internet people just posting a comment just to get a rise from the person or just to see if anyone does bite. I could play the game, if I wanted too, I know the pictures, that would get the numbers, views, likes, comments, call them what you want. But I am in a place, where I am in lucky in that I really have no interest in doing so. I am now down to all the extra premium, that I have gotten when I renewed each time, always waited for a deal and bought it. I have a plan in place now. I met a dog called Speedy last weekend, I was standing taking pictures and she came running up, stopped and just looked, I went to clap her and she came over , that lovely coat a Greyhound has, not a dog, I had seen before. But I recognised the voice shouting on her. By all account Speedy has never let a man clap her before. I ended up sitting talking for a while. I also got what is one of my favourite pictures of all time, that morning. It has to be top 3. I never blogged my usual Sunday, to be honest, I was only going to blog every other month, weaning myself away from NN only blog on even number months. I was looking at my naked self in the mirror this morning and thought, not too bad for my age, my butt has quite a nice shape about it lol and my legs with all the cycling and walking I do. I have always been a body confident person, even when it was closer to twice the size.  The best I have ever seen her this year, weather must have been right, but 6 days later, the flowers, were past there best and a sadder looking sight. But I have that memory in a vison now. My little area of woods, give me so much and I always grateful and say a little thanks to her and mother nature.. | ||

Daylight before 7am now, my time of day now, I enjoy being out early and the earlier the better. I was only going to check some things, but took all the gear, in the end, used the phone as I walked, then found a nice little spot to just sit and listen to the woods coming alive. After the week, I had at work, this soon just makes the world better. But I stay positive. Just smile and think, one day.  The sky popped a little bit this morning, but the light catching on the water running down the road, is what it was all about for me, just noticing the things, that most never see. | ||||

I The nights are drawing out now and the dawn is just getting earlier, cycle of life. Do all you do, is take pictures pretty much, I replied. I was down at an old favourite again, third time in 2 days, twice on my own and once, with the apprentice. What do I take a picture of, she asked, whatever you want. In the end, I set a shot up for her, let her see, what I would have done, how sometimes, before doing so, just take out your camera and phone and wander about, higher lower, closer further away, It is all different. What do you do with all your pictures, she asked me, not a lot, I replied, I did tell her, that I have ones sitting aside in project folders, that one day, I will make into little books for myself, that I had just started another new one. But that it was like taking the picture, sitting at the computer, trying to work out, how, you want it too look. It calms me , I have started spending a little bit more time. When we walk to where we are going she talks all the time, I think, I know her life now, she said to me, a few weeks ago, why are you so easy to talk too, why does she share what she does with me. her two sisters tease her about her new boyfriend and she just plays along, before anyone thinks anything, there is nothing like that going on. But a bit like me, a camera is changing her life and it is giving her a life again. happiness through a viewfinder. I am in a place in life, where it changes with the seasons now, that is the meaning of life too me. I have been sitting typing this and only wearing a pair of Star War themed loungers and fun fact for the day, I have never seen any Star War films ..  Next step in the change, first Daffodil, I have seen in flower in the woods, I lay on the ground looking up and for that time, nothing else happening in the world mattered. | ||

Courage comes in many forms, the other night, courage for me, was listening to a song. the song Drive by The Cars. It left me, with damp cheeks. For me, it was just another step in the process called healing.  Full moon last night, grabbed the camera and took a few pictures, tomorrow night, I might even set it up on a tripod and see, what I can get, when you do this, you see, how much it actually moves in such a short time. | ||||

I was walking in the rain this morning,, must have used that line a few times before.. I find it strangely relaxing. I tend to do more thinking when the hood is up and looking through it, the clothing equivalent of a camera viewfinder. 1 thought was, when did we stop calling a phone a telephone, taking a picture on the telephone, just does not sound right to me, I vision an old handset being pointed at a picture and then wondering, where is the shutter butter on the dial. the simple joy of dialling that number, listening to sounds of the dial , far better than, what we have now, yes, probably an app for that, but nah not for me. I was actually going to blog about dreams and courage was to be another topic, next time, just saw the time, a visit to the doctor calls.. happy days..  I nearly forgot to add the picture, this Tree is a puzzle to solve, not sure, if the right angle will be ever found, for what I have pictured for it, but then again does it even matter. | ||

Back to work tomorrow, I had been on holiday for a week, that might be it till around the end of May, I know, I will have days off before then for when I get my eye injections. Julie's birthday was the 12th , 2 days before mine and it really pissed her off, when I said, I was her toyboy, I was wondering what it would have been like, as she would have been 60 next year before me by those 2 days.. She never forgot my birthday card, but i never ever got a Valentines of her,strange the things, that come into your head. A real man never shows emotion, never says I love you, what a load of shite that one is, but it was how I was brought up, that was my world, to show anything was weakness. It took a very fine lady from here, that came into my life, for me too see things, so different. So on Wednesday, I sat on a beach and had a good cry, sometimes, when the tears start, takes a while to turn them off. I started back using my Wordpress site yesterday, nearly 4yrs since the last time I wrote on there, but I aim to write at least once a week on there, but will give it ago, future planning I guess.  On the beach, the pictures I like are more often the ones, that most don't. | ||||

It was my birthday on Wednesday. My reason for standing on the beach at dawn, just another new start for me. The only place, where I have been posting pictures has always been Flickr, a bit more recently than in previous years to be honest, I have always still added to groups on there, but that is going to change now as well. When I first started on there, I just put up my pictures and for the most part now, that is what I am going to do again. I actually have more pictures, that I have blogged on here, all the way back to the very early days, it was just hosting site for the blogs, they were what it was all about, my journey , my soul searching, my moaning, so much, I was open about, the habit of blogging every day, thinking that it was what people wanted. People have always be so kind about my pictures, I have never thought what I take is better than what anyone else takes, that is just not my way, I am a very humble person.  Selfie on the beach, it never stopped raining, it was not the warmest, it never mattered | ||||

I stood on a deserted beach yesterday morning, it was raining, but no wind, the sea was calm, tiny waves lapping onto the shore, no more than a ripple, this was day one, this was where I decided for it all to start. I walked for a mile along the beach, as close to the waters edge as possible and most of the time in the sea. In the distance it was murky , it made it look like fog and if I had taken the camera and long lens, I might have gotten something special , but this was not really about that. I just kept stopping watching and seeing, the slower you take things, the more you see. I suppose, I have never really lived a fast paced life. but that suited me fine. I prefer the beach at this time of year too the summer, I love stormy days, sitting somewhere cosy watching waves crash, trying to take in the power , mother sea is a force that we might think we can control but never will.. I have seen people being caught out by that rogue wave, I once was told count the waves and you can work it out, but then you look out and you see it, that one, that comes from nowhere and moves so fast. it is upon you and then you might be gone. For a hour or so, it seemed like it was only me, higher up the beach the dog walkers, the odd runner were all there. I gained a bit of life back yesterday. I then, walked back, stopped at what seem a nice spot and left the little bit of cake. Some things, I will never work out and accepting that is a step. After all those years. | ||||
