It`s only the end of January here in the UK, but already the signs of spring are popping up, are our seasons getting more and more out of sinc? I can see early bulbs starting to pop up? from were the snow was only a few days ago, lucky here on the south coast of the UK in that we normally get mild winters, but on my return from India this year it didn`t feel that mild, will we be seeing spring flowers early this year I wonder? So this in mind, thought a touch of summer heat would be nice, well UK summer warmth is the best we`ll get here I think again..
Can these images of Summer be so far off, oh for the return of the sun . . .
I know it`s gonna end, I know it can`t last but just for once let me see the sunny side of life, I`m in a great job, please let it last for a couple of months.. Isn`t it odd, how in the little ladder we call life how we go up and down, some years seem to be full of down`s then one thing bump`s it up and we get months of highs?
Odd how you remember the good old days, when they weren`t really all good, is it just we crave the days when mum use to make the tea, rent was a thing dad paid each week, and the worst thing you could think of was not getting the home work done?
Do some people, like me, still expect to wake up and hope to be back in our youth? Do we all feel 18 till the day we die? who knows, I`ll let you know.
So at the moment life is great, work is great, good food and good wine, but sadly I have no one to share it with, full time anyway, which is sad, but then, life moves on..
Quick post best and worst buys of 2009..
Worst – battery pack for my IPhone from these people Mophie its a battery pack for my IPhone, at first worked great then after less than a couple of months it started falling to bits, and bits fell off, contacted the company they were great send me a new one, free of charge, got it through amazed at the quickness, and I`ll be blowed it didn’t work?? go figure, must sort out a replacement this year, some thing more reliable..
Best buy, my camera bag, guy in LCE in Portsmouth showed it to me sold me on it, got the best price I could for it and got it, with out doubt a bargain it s a Kata Bag and is a dream to use, and holds every thing except the kitchen sink.. look here very recommended by me.
Visited India over Xmas this year, hopefully the idea was that i get some good tiger photo`s, BUT no one told me that tigers don`t like armani after shave, and when they smell it they hide???? Well that’s the only reason I can think i never saw 1 tiger, hehehe, oh well, guess me and tigers are not` destined to meet…
Great trip round I`ll be putting some shots up, it was a great month touring Rajasthan, covered a huge number of miles, few shots I`ll add here and slowly add better ones to 20 years gallery, first set are some general ones I just started to work on, of the wildlife and forts..
Next gallery its all birds from Ranthambore.
Also have started to add the images on to 20 years as I said above see here for better quality. India Xmas pages
Have a great holiday, and here`s to a bright New Year
