A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Bluebell Hill Picnic Site - Sept 2020 Hollibobs

Mooched along to the Bluebell Hill picnic site again today as an off day in my week's leave. Went via the crematorium and laid a rose off of Julia's rose tree at my Mum's tree and had a "chat" whilst we were there. Now the picnic site car park is open it was surprisingly busy for a weekday with lots of cars and me wondering where everyone had some from! There was I thinking I'd have the place to myself ;-) Had a wander along the path as far as I dare to go, which let's face it isn't that far, I'm not scrambling through the bushes and brambles for anyone! Took the Goldie along this time and it worked OK given that the weather wasn't quite as bright as suits infrared but bright enough that for the most part I could barely see the back screen for the reflections of Moi in it. Talk about point 'n' hope. Amazed that it is still happily running on the recharged AA batteries I put back in it a few weeks ago, obviously technology has moved on since the AA battery digital cameras that I first owned and swore I never own again. However with many already converted infrared cameras sometimes you don't get too many choices on the cameras that are available. And as I have learnt, no two cameras ever seem to produce the same kind of faux coloured image. So for now I'm hanging on to my little "chunky monkey" of a digital compact.
