Sorting through stuff in the garage, lifting and twisting at the same time. I should know better at my young age

:-( feeling your pain mate. I think I’ve put my back out today. Will know better tomorrow

Well with the weather so miserable it’s best to stay in and re-energise anyway. A good time to plan some outings

Hope you’re fighting fit soon mate!

It’s a brilliant image - deservedly awarded. I read the story, I can see why the image means so much, irrespective of whether it won the award.

Another image taken on that lovely morning in Northumberland. Losing track of time - must be a fortnight ago? 3 weeks?

Either my typos are getting worse or AI autocorrect is becoming ever more intrusive 🙄 a new task it seems: proofreading the bot

Taken a few weeks ago, at Findhorn, where I just have spent at least half an hour faffing about in the dark, trying to get these colourful hits to line up with one another without other huts photobombing the image frame.

Thanks - yes the moon was important for scale and realism as it was so dreamy and abstract

Pretty decent start to the day on Thursday at Loch Ard in The Trossachs.

wandering about…….aimlessly 😊

A bit of a mash up on Friday night in the capital, attempting a bit of street photography with @scottjessimanphoto.bsky.social and @bulloch.photography and @andrewlanxon.bsky.social

Aw just saw this!! 😊

Nice image - not sure I’ve got any to share 🤣 too busy chatting and bumping into people

A slightly nice morning in The Trossachs. Obviously not sad at all about having to leave at 8.30 to get back to the day job

A dreamy quality - it definitely works

I don’t often meet folk when I’m out and about so I tend to remember such stories. I think you said it was blowing a gale and could barely stand. Not sure when I’ll get back up there but really want to visit again next year

Thanks Mark. I was thinking today about the Harris Hills and snow for some reason. Didn’t you practically lie down in the snow for a shot??

Thanks Dave - never had much joy at this location before

Thank you - good to give another platform a try although it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep track

Thanks Sam - always debate with myself there about the beach or the rocks. The low tide suited the beach more

Not forgetting the week of leave we had and the continuous murky stuff

Gorgeous sunrise at Bamburgh Castle last Saturday, witnessed by @scottjessimanphoto.bsky.social and I. Loving winter light.

Softness and quietness. Sums up Buttermere mornings!

I wouldn’t even know how to watch TV any more lol. Seriously, I fall over when it comes on with its black screen and options for HDMI etc. I seem to get all I need from YouTube.
