It is peaceful and quiet today, none of yesterdays drizzle and we had a good long walk this morning. The birds are singing and it has the feel of spring.
There are so many squirrels about that even I am managing a few shots but non are as sharp as I would like them to be.
Everywhere I look there are snowdrops.
Birds are singing, this is a Thrush.
Lichens, Old Man's Beard. This is starting to make me think of macro again.
Last night and early this morning I had another play with Audacity. I am pleased how clean this sound is but far less happy with my performance. Whatever, have a good week.
Sweet photos all. I wish there were more snowdrops around here. Even when the weather turns, I seldom see snowdrops. Speaking of the weather turning, the snow has almost gone from the backyard. Still a bunch out front where it gets piled up by snow removal from street and driveway.
ReplyDeleteThanks John.
DeleteLove the poems and the photos. Just stay away from that mixer!
ReplyDeleteFrances, O, the mixer, how I wish life were that simple. It's echoes and reverberations that cause the trouble.
DeleteLove the photos. The squirrel isn't bad at all. They are hard to get because of their squirrelly movement I find.. The poems were great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie. I will try upping the shutter speed for the squirrels as they are usually in half light.
DeleteFor years I used to listen to Poetry Please with Roger McGough but got out of the habit. Now we have our own home brew version to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I will think about a poetry slot once a week Wimes on Wednesday perhaps.
DeleteNow if you could combine the first poem with a picture of Trump..... Actually, I really did enjoy these. Well done. Oh yes--- So were the pictures. I remember doing live radio in San Francisco for years-- reading live commercials, breaking in with ad lib new reports, etc, never a mistake. Now--- if I tried to read those poems it would be stumble city. I'm too used to being able to edit. Anyway my thanks for the smiles this morning.
ReplyDeleteBill, I think it applies to all politicians......Is Trump a politician?
DeleteI recorded this three times and then cut out dead space and stutters and dropped in the best bits from another track. I then couldn't resist messing with reverb. I will try and get it off pat for the next one.
We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives. Gary Zukav
ReplyDeleteDaliana, very profound and also true. Congratulations on your composites, I did enjoy them.
DeleteSuper photos Adrian and my sincere apologies for not stopping by your blog until now.
ReplyDeleteIan, it's good to see you back.
DeleteGreat photos of the squirrel and bird!
ReplyDeleteLinda, not great there is room for improvement, I'll have another go when it gets light.
DeleteEnjoyed your sights of spring as autumn slowly creeps in here. Thanks for the poem, I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeletePauline, I'll have to look into electrocution lessons. It's been very good here for a few weeks now.
DeleteLoving your photos Adrian. It must be nice to be able to get back out and walk. The weather is a-changing.
ReplyDeleteLynda, back to cloudy today but slowly it is getting brighter and things are coming back to life.
