Helping is difficult – we have all seen the joke about the boy scout helping the old woman across the road – with the denouement that she didn’t actually want to cross it in the first place. In ‘real life’ not only do we find situations exactly analogous to that, but we also find that the ‘old woman’ simply resents the fact that she had to be helped.
George McConnell
Slaughterhouse Five
An author that I have not previously read – he has a style all of his own – and I am enjoying reading this.
Where’s Wally
These pictures started by accident – but now I admit to sometimes doing it deliberately!! They each contain (at least) one person I know – but the subject of the picture is something else – the people are only there ‘by chance’.
This album will pop to the top of the list each time new images are added.
Bournemouth Air Show 2014
Although I was only able to get to the last hour or so of this year’s air show I did manage to get one or two good pictures. Not taken from the ‘ideal’ position – but some of the planes came close enough.
A Visit Home – Private
A Visit Home
After a four year gap we finally went back to Glasgow – this time doing the real ‘tourist’ bit within the City itself.
Photo Bombed By Birds – Private
Photo Bombed By Birds
It seems that in so many photos I end up being ‘photo bombed’ by birds. Sometimes you might expect it, but often it is quite a surprise – certainly in this selection I rarely chose to include the birdie!!!
This album will pop to the top of the list each time new images are added.
A Visit to Mottisfont Abbey
We visited the Abbey on 8th August – I must admit that the pic of the horse is an interloper – that was actually taken the following day at Danebury Iron Age Hill Fort.
