Morning walk
A bit of a catch up!
I have been working hard behind the scenes to give the Pixel Chef a bit of a make over hence the severe lack of posting of late. The good new is that I successfully complete the Dryathlon raising £230 for Cancer Research while the charity is looking at having raised nearly £5 million – which is…
Read MoreDryathlon day 9: wet,wet,wet
What a week it has been. Rain, rain and more rain with some hail thrown in to boot. I could have chickened out of my walk this morning but having been thwarted earlier in the week I strode out regardless. I’ve said it before but I quite enjoy walking in bad weather. There’s nothing like…
Read MoreDryathlon day 6: Back in the groove
After being a boozy couch potato over Christmas I was back out in earnest walking the lanes this morning. The weather was rather dull and uninspiring although it is still very mild. I took my usual route out of the village and up into Cuckoo Lane. Once again I was disgusted by the way that…
Read MorePuddled thinking
On wet dull days I find myself looking down for pictures. This morning in the aftermath of the heavy rain that we had yesterday the roads were wet and covered in leaves and detritus. As you may have spotted I love taking photos of puddles and the reflections in them. There is a very powerful…
Read MoreMorning walk: 7 October 2013
We are truly lucky with the weather at the moment. Once again this morning was glorious with crystal blue skies and warm sunshine. It was also very still and it was just amazing to hear two swans as they flew over head – see if you can spot them in one of the pictures below!…
Read MoreA key lost in mists of mellow fruitfulness!
Following my last post writing about the end of the summer, the start of Autumn has brought us some lovely warm sunny weather. The early mornings have been very seasonal with gentle mists of mellow fruitfulness and it’s been lovely walking the country lanes. Yesterday morning I was in my usual Monday daze and I…
Read MoreWalk with a purpose
We just about in the middle of the school holidays but sadly we’re not going to be able to get away anywhere this year for a lot of reasons. There is a lot to keep us here this week. Firstly my daughter Reya is in the middle of getting her braces fitted. So far this…
Read MoreMorning walk – 22nd July
It would be fair to say that I haven’t been very motivated to write and post much just lately. I’m still walking in the mornings and taking lots of photos on my new “phone friend” as well as driving every one nuts by taking pictures with my lovely 6D 1.4 50mm combo in the kitchen…
Read MoreMorning walk with new Windows 8 phone!
Finally on Saturday I got my phone upgrade which means that I can take photos on my Morning walks by actually seeing what is on the screen! After doing lots of research and being tempted by an older iPhone, I opted for a Nokia Windows 8 phone. No they are not the most desirable thing…
Read MoreHit and miss phototography
I’m counting the days to my phone upgrade as my existing one really is on it’s last legs. It has really served me quite well over the last couple of years and I’ve taken loads of photos with it – especially when out on my morning walks. However now the screen is virtually impossible to…
Read MoreAnother murky morning….
I set out this earlier today on my walk with grim Monday morning determination. Once more it was cold and once more the weather was grey and miserable. My spirits were lifted once again by the song of the skylarks – who were singing in spite of Spring’s determination not to appear. It was however…
Read MoreGoing, going….
After the glorious day earlier in the week it’s gradually getting colder. This morning the sun tried to break through but failed – only the Sky Larks gave a promise of spring. It’s set to get colder and maybe even snow again next week. Now we really don’t need any more of that… Read on…
