In The Garden Today

Thought I would spend the day pottering around the garden, having a slight hangover I thought the fresh air would do me good. It was a lovely sunny day but the wind was cold.

Reason For The Hangover!

 I really enjoy seeing this band they are called “The Moonlights”, and the venue had 2 beers I hadn’t tried before, well that’s my excuse.

It’s a bugs life

I used my Olympus EPL1 with an old Helios 58mm lens and extension tube. It was quite tricky getting the shots because of the breezy conditions and really narrow depth of field. It’s lovely to see the signs of spring well underway in the garden, not so good to see the amount of work I need to do.

A few images from my trips to town over the last few days

I took my Sigma DP1 with me on my walks to town over the last few days. It’s amazing what you can find left on the pavements and roads. I’ve gone all square for these images they just seemed to suit the format.

Solid Fuel and Me !

A load of Rubbish

At least they left it by the bin ! It was gone when I returned on my way back to home.

So Green

A sign of good air quality so they say.

Grass Cutting Time

Warm day today in my part of the UK, so after my walk to town for a coffee with an old buddy of mine I thought it was time to cut the grass. First cut of the year it looks so much better now. Here are a few quick images from around the garden taken with my Olympus EPL1 and Helios 58mm f2 lens.
