Buds

"When daisies pied, and violets blue,
And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
“Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo!” O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear."

1905

1905 days of continuous posting of a picture a day has come to an end.... like most "good" things do

1905 days in which I've stuck to my guns and taken a picture that has been posted in my picture a day galleries - admittedly some not posted on that day due to holidays.

1905 days from December 19th 2004 to yesterday, March 7th 2010.

1905 days I have enjoyed - mostly.

1905 days is over 5 years of continuous posting, and it is about time I deserve a break. Its not the end of me photographically, I'm going to move onto other photography projects, of which more soon!

So long, but not goodbye!

The Travel Cold....

I've been away for far too long but now I hope I can stay here with some commitment!

Travel does help me relax. Oh, let me clarify that - the "being there " helps me relax, but in this day and age the getting there is less relaxing. Whether by car, train or plane, I'd much rather be there, and also get home quickly, then undertake the travelling itself.

Not for the first time I have returned from travelling with a bad cold. This time, two weeks on a cruise ship, followed by a 14 hour flight home, I am not that surprised - I did all the right things, trying to prevent it happening, yet still it has happened. Oh well, I hope to get this out of my system and start afresh next week.
