My ramblings, my photos, photography, image editing, etc.

  • April in Robert’s Park

    We haven’t had to wait months for these photos to appear. They are from today. As often happens I had a walk round Robert’s Park today and along part of the Leeds Liverpool canal. This is one of a pair of Jays seen in Hirst Lock Nature Reserve at lunchtime. They were both collecting nesting…

  • An Ingress Trip to Hull

    This posting is out of sequence because my trip to Hull was in February 2017 but who’s counting? A trip to Hull has to include a view of The Deep. I have yet to go in but I have heard good reports about it. If I ever give up Ingress I may actually get time…

  • More trips. Nottingham, Marsden and Salford

    I have been wondering whether I should be putting these on Google+ which is more related to Ingress, but though Ingress is the reason for the trip it is not the subject of the photos. So I’ll keep them on my WordPress site. These trips were in November 2016. Nottingham on 12 November Marsden on…

  • Two more Ingress trips in December 2016

    A trip to Norwich You might think that Norwich is a long way to go for Ingress but I did have another reason for going. The two reason together made it seem a sensible thing to do. Honest. A view of Norwich Castle with a poster advertising “Fishermen to Kings” – an exhibition of Olive…

  • A couple of Ingress days out in 2016

    I still have several sets of photos that I am thinking of sharing. They are from days out for Ingress. Here are 2 of them. One to Marple and another a First Saturday in Stockport. Others will follow – going back further in time – Nottingham and Norwich are coming hopefully. As usual you can…

  • A few photos from March 2017

    I have many photos to catch up on, many of them going back to Ingress days out last year. But here are a few from last month. This is a shot of a couple of Cormorant at Rodley Nature Reserve. This man-made structure might look a bit boring at the moment but later in the…

  • More Little Birds from Thompson Lane

    Here’s a couple more photos from Thompson Lane, Baildon. I mentioned Sparrows in my last post so here is a photo of one this time. I often think of Sparrows as being drab brown birds but they actually look quite smart. And here again is a Chiffchaff obligingly close. I’m pretty sure it is one of…

  • Chiffchaff on Thompson Lane

    I have not been carrying my camera around with me much over the last year. Today I took it to work with me. When walking back to my car in the evening I spotted a few Sparrows flitting about and unpacked my camera. I didn’t get close to any Sparrows but I did stop, listen…
