Pretty Pictures

I have an rss feed from the lovely site "Between the White Lines", which simply posts up lovely pictures of cars and car-related things.  I don't typically link the photos, because there are (frankly) too many good ones too often.

But I'll make an exception for this one:

The Photos are back

I've revived Patently Photographic, the blog where I sent my favourite photos.  It's been too long since I did anything with it, partly because there was too much other stuff going on and partly because the discipline of posting a photo each day gradually turned into a source of stress.  I get plenty of that from other sources, I don't need to create any of my own.

I was also never that happy with the presentational style that Blogger offered.  Its templates just don't seem to suit photoblogs, so I've gone for a hosted site running Wordpress and chosen what I think is a really nice theme.  Please do let me know what you think.

And in answer to Blue Eyes' question from long, long ago, no I didn't lose my camera - which means I do have a few photos to keep me going (although I probably won't put up one photo per day).

Oh - and the address?  Fairly easy to remember:

New Blog!

Over the year and a bit that I've been running this blog, from time to time I've posted a few of the photographs that I've taken, if I was particularly pleased with them.

That is something that I'd like to do more of; photography has been a hobby of mine for quite some time - not quite "short trousers" territory, but close to it. The tone of such posts is rather different to the rest of this blog, though, so I've set up a second blog to host those at:

Patently Photographic

The aim is that Patently Rubbish will be (mainly) words and Patently Photographic will be (mainly) pictures.

Do take a look, if you have time. To start it off, I'm posting fresh copies of the photos that have already graced the pages of this blog, together with brief notes about their content. I plan to try and keep a steady stream of both old and new photos flowing. Ideally, I'd like there to be a fresh photo each morning, but we'll have to see if that works out!

Autumn pt 2

The beauty continues .... King's Wood, High Wycombe this time.

Autumn

Is a beautiful month. Hughenden manor:

I quite envy Disraeli, sometimes.

The Joy of Summer

I've just got back from my summer hols.

Please, someone, explain to me why it helps to go on holiday when I now have to sit in an office trying to draft patent applications when this image is still fresh on my mind:

Or, when I can still remember the quiet time on the beach before the firework display:

Ah well .... back to work!
