Had a little walk round Kingston Lacy this afternoon – gave the new camera a bit of an outing. Very pleased with the results; relatively easy to take decent photos with it, although I have a lot more exploring of its functions to do…
Just returned from my first exercise class in years. Zumba for -ahem- older people. It was good, back trouble notwithstanding. Plus I managed to fall over when doing some weeding yesterday, twisting my ankle, elbow and shoulder. So, my movements were slightly restricted. 😇
Beautiful display of rhododendrons at Exbury Gardens, in Hampshire, today
Lovely sunny day & one of my favourite walks completed: May Beck to Falling Foss & back.
The beautiful colours of a peacock. I may have taken a lot of photos of them today…
The makers of my favourite pencil sharpener have just launched their new Kickstarter. I backed it. Of course.
Lovely birthday day out at Fountains Abbey. The weather wasn’t brilliant, but the scenery was still impressive.
Visited a nature reserve today, run by the local water authority. Several large reservoirs & lakes, with hides dotted around. Saw lots of birds, most of which were difficult to photograph, unfortunately. Did capture this striking-looking fungus, however.
Positive thoughts, day 8: a lovely day out at the Washington (UK) Wetlands Centre, with my best friend. They had a Lego exhibition, with giant animals & birds dotted around the area.
Positive thoughts, day 7: a relaxing afternoon spent sketching some crown imperial fritillaries. I really am no artist, but I think they are recognisable.
