P365 – Day 191 – winter

Here are some photos I took today while we were out driving in the winter weather. At Hamilton Styx River overflowing at Bushy Park That is snow falling on the windscreen River Derwent...

P365 – Day 190 – puddles (9/7/2011)

In the depths of a wintery afternoon, feeling like I might never shake this state of melancholy I have recently found myself experiencing,  I had to get out of the house. Freezing, windy and wet. Not anyone’s idea of a good time to take a leisurely Saturday afternoon stroll....

P365 – Day 185 – winter trees

It’s winter. The trees have lost their leaves. I feel I should write some evocative words about winter and bare trees and overcast days, but after another day of trawling through files for answers I don’t think I’m going to find, the words aren’t there. Maybe I need to...

P365 – Day 180 – closeup #3 – ice

Well if yesterday was cold, today was freezing. I didn’t check the temperature outside when we left home, but a reasonable guess, based on the weather report, was about -2 degrees. This is the ice on the car windscreen. I like this one. It reminds me of the moon....

P365 – Day 175 hand cream (24/06/2011)

One of the suggestions for doing a 365/Photo a Day Project is to take photos of the little things that are part of your life that you don’t really pay much attention to. So here is the hand cream that I have on my desk at work. The skin...

P365 – Day 174 washing, washing and more washing

P365 – Day 165 school holiday fun

This is the second week of school holidays. Because Juniordwarf is only in school three days a week, there’s only three days we have to cover each week, so Slabs and I each have taken a day off work and my mother has kindly agreed to look after Juniordwarf...

P365 – Day 164 there’s a hill under there somewhere

Today was cold and foggy. This is a normal winter morning view of one of the hills behind our house, from between two trees. You can just make out the trees on top of the hill through the fog. The tree in the foreground on the left hand side...

P365 – Day 152 working from home

One of the things I like about my work is that, even before Juniordwarf arrived, I’ve had a lot of flexibility in terms of shorter hours and opportunities to work from home. It’s been great as I’ve been able to work part-time and spend time with Juniordwarf, which is...
