It’s starting to melt now - I think it will be gone by lunchtime.

Morning! It was spring yesterday but winter this morning. At least the thrush sounds happy & the curlews have stayed 😃

Love this, Donna. It’s like a contemporary, photographic Lowry.

Always a pleasure to hear @dedalusdenaries.bsky.social speak about his writing. So thoughtful and fluent and rich in consideration.

Here he is in conversation with John Brannigan at the launch of Late Heaney @hodgesfiggis.bsky.social this evening.

Thank you so much. I have the windows (slightly) open & I can hear the thrush, curlews & lapwings. This morning on the moor, the skylarks are returning.

As far as I’m concerned, it is Spring!

(Although I wouldn’t rule out snow in these parts within the next week 😊)

Absolutely! I used to use this camera for holidays & then portraits of my children when they were little. It’s the camera that started my journey. The film is described as ‘budget, student & beginner’s’ - I think I needed to go back to basics.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. It’s quite nice to go back to the beginning isn’t it?

Thank you, that is so kind. This camera has always been my trusty friend but the autofocus is temperamental & when I focus it myself, I struggle because I need reading glasses and & can't work the camera with them on - so most have this v. soft focus - but I like it - it works for this project.
