ABOUT ME

I live in a camper van with a West Highland Terrier for company.
My passion is creating images but it is a work in progress.
I am always willing to share what knowledge I have and can be contacted through the comments on this post or e-mail ADRIAN
ALL IMAGES WILL ENLARGE WITH A LEFT CLICK

MY HEAD IS SPINNING (27/10/11)

I was awake and full of the joys of spring at three thirty this morning. I have been ploughing through old images. They are from a few weeks either side of this time last year.

Why?………….it’s wet and cold……….not freezing just totally dismal, the dogs wouldn’t get up, they can hear the rain. I was late to bed, a lass pulled up next door yesterday evening. Her two daughters wanted to take the dogs out. Fine I said but don’t let the little bugg…….blighters off the lead. Ten minutes later the eldest returned in tears. I’ve lost the dogs………..don’t worry………..No, they have run away……….don’t worry. Off I toddled, persuaded her to shout …….DOGS!  Shout as loud as you can. Two goes and two minutes later they appeared, muddy, wet but happy. Little buggers!

I was down to my last bottle of lager……..Mum agreed to share it with me. She was impressed with my relaxed attitude……….the beauty of a new acquaintance…..little does she know! I didn’t enlighten her but she was away by ten this morning. So perhaps has the innate intuition I associate with ladies or possibly rendering River Deep and Mountain High on the flute was not one of my better ideas. I can also play Mull of Kintyre and lots of hymns, I’m not religious but I avoid tunes with lots of sharps and flats, most hymns fit that bill.

On to the trawl through the bin.

Lets hope for views and clement weather tomorrow.

  3. Hi Adrian...I do believe perhaps the Lass was able to read your mind..; } and I believe that the little diddy on the flute really sent here of early...I have no more to say about that...lol
    You have some funny experiences on your travels!!

    The fourth and fifth photo's I especially like!!

    Hope your weather inproves ..

  5. All such beautiful shots, I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favourite. I'm glad the dogs returned safe and sound.

  6. Those are breathtaking, all of them. Looks like a productive rainy day to me.

  7. You old romantic you!..... half a bottle of lager and a quick toot on a flute...I can't see a problem with that, it should work every time!!!

    Excellent set of images Adrian, I really like the last one it's a beauty (maybe a little tweak anticlockwise?... to stop the water running out the bottom right!)

    Hope you have a better day weather wise tomorrow (it rained for most of the day here too)...[;o)

    Hope you don't mind the criticism!

  8. Terrific images Adrian, all of them by my favourite are 4 and 3 and the last!
    You seem to have recovered your "spirit"! :)

  9. I like most of those. Favourite would be a toss up between autumn colour and Wastwater sunset.

  10. Norma, thanks.

    Trevor, the fourth one should be looking south from the south end of Derwentwater. A lucky shot.

    Grace, she was away anyway. Nothing happens for days then it all happens at once.

    Bob, thanks it is a beautiful place.

    Hilary, they always come back when they are ready.

    JoLynne, I hate sorting images but it's amazing what I find.

    Trevor, I don't mind at all.......I did straighten it........I'll try pulling it with free transform.

    DeeBee, I am okay thanks. I just need some cold frosty weather.

    John, thanks........Wastwater is a wonderful if generally gloomy place.

  16. Jay, half are unpublished or were. I end up with several similar images as sunrises/sets are always a waiting game.
