Wow! Two sunny days in a row. Allegedly this is the first day of spring, but with two sunny days in a row, it could be summer. Not the start of summer, but summer itself. Equinox be damned. Everything could go downhill from here. Despite the fact that the days are getting longer and the nights shorter, if it’s not sunny tomorrow then it’s a case of “nights are fair drawing in”. Still, in the spirit of spring, Scamp got the mower out and cut the front grass. This was swiftly followed by George across the corner getting stuck in and cutting his grass too. I think he was slightly miffed that Scamp had beaten him to it. I’d have cut the grass myself, but I know Scamp likes it done to her own formula and if I’d have done it, the stripes on the front lawn wouldn’t have been perfectly parallel, so I let her have first dibs. Such a gentleman me!
What I did do was take myself off to St Mo’s to revel in the inexplicable second day of sunshine. There weren’t many creatures to photograph. No deer, no Mr Grey, not even a frog pushing its head above the pond surface. What I did have was some low angle light to play with, so I shouldn’t complain. Took the “Big Dog” (Nikon) with me as Little Dogs (Olys) are getting tired of being the general ‘dogsbodies’. Managed to get most of the photos taken with ISO settings of under 2000. It’s amazing what you can do when you have directional sunlight. I was a bit concerned by seeing what I think was another ‘photog’ walking along the boardwalk. I don’t know who he or she was, or how they worked out where “St Mo’s” is, but they must know that St Mo’s is mine and mine alone. Yes, I’m willing to share it with others, but only if they write to me asking for permission first. So, if you are reading this, interloper, do the decent thing and ask permission before you trespass on my personal space. You have been warned.
Looking forward to see what tomorrow will bring. Hopefully more sunshine, I’m not greedy. Just one more day would be good.
