Afternoon walk, early daffodils

 

Daffodils up close 
The weather has improved over the last week and there has been some sunshine in the afternoons so as I’m on a rest day I thought I’d try and get some pictures of early daffodils in the sunshine on the way to a nice walk around the lake in Blackpark. 

I found a small section of roadside where they were springing up, it was facing south so had the full sun all day. I took one shot on the way up just an experiment and then continued up to the park.


Old mossy log


There’s not much there to photograph as its yet to come to life, I was able to get a close up of a moss covered log but they all look pretty much the same and once you’ve got one in your portfolio you’ve got it covered. I went for a quick walk around the lake and because the weather was nice it was busy with lots of families walking around. 

I wanted to head back and try to get some more shots of the daffodils with the aperture open. I think I went a bit too far and next time I should dial it back a few stops to give more depth of field. I’m learning. So I’m crouching down by the side of a busy road taking pictures of flowers and obviously people driving past are being nosy and looking, suddenly there’s a skidding of tyres and loud horns but lucky no crash. 

I’m glad I went out I’ve learned a little bit and I can apply it next time, I’ll have some daffodils coming out in the garden soon so I’ll be able to practice a bit more and hopefully get better. 

Have fun stay safe 👍🏻

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Windsor farm shop, local gangster and afternoon walk

  Windsor farm shop It was a lunch time visit to Windsor farm shop to get some treats before the weekly food shop. The car park was extremely busy as there’s a fish monger who’s there on Pop up fish monger   Windsor farm shop Thursdays between 11-2. He must have some good stock for sale at a good price because there was a very long queue st his pop up stall.  Wexham Gangster  What did we get from the far shop, well I picked up a beef and Stilton small pie and an old Windsor pasty for tomorrow after work and we also bought a chicken smd mushroom pie . I have to say the beef and Stilton pie was extremely rich so be warned. The chicken and mushroom pie was very nice and I’d highly recommend.  Passion flower     After lunch had settled it was out for a walk I picked up the WeWard cards I was missing and along the way bumped into Wexham’s new gangster a cute cat who’s taken residence on Mirridor Crescent . It was a walk up Rowley footpath and 21 golf...
