This is the old
coprolite workings on Quy Fen. Last winter this lake was full to overflowing. Last Sunday it was so low that the depth gauge in the foreground is now entirely out of the water. We need some rain. A lot of it.

On our walk this afternoon while I was taking this photo of Beth with my Nokia 6760 phone Beth was taking a rather better one of me with her Nikon D60.
Although she did clever post processing with hers when we got home: the clouds were good, but they weren't that good.

Quite how Beth first managed to get the parent swan to come over and sit so very close to her while she took photos and then for the parent to be so unconcerned when the cygnets turned up too and got even closer I'm not sure, but it was quite a thing to watch.

I was asked by someone yesterday what my favourite toy was when I was a child (it wasn't an idle question, it was work related) and so I sent them a photo. So let me introduce you all to Bobby. He was my first Christmas present so he was 49 years old last Christmas. I think he's a Chad Valley bear but I'm not 100% certain.
Up until the age of about ten when I blew the candles out on my birthday cake and made a wish I always wished he could talk. Sadly he lost his eyes at some point and he's a bit threadbare in places but he's not in bad condition for his age.

This is the view from the seventh, and top, floor of Addenbrooke's hospital public car park. The only level where we could find a parking space this afternoon. That's the Gog Magog hills in the distance but lots of concrete between them and us.

Today we went to Whipsnade for Beth's birthday (which was actually yesterday but the weather was crap). It was the first time either us had been to the zoo since we were nippers.

As I said in my last posting spring is here and it's glorious. We walked from Bottisham across Quy Fen to Lode Mill and back this afternoon. The sun was shining and there was very little wind. I couldn't stop grinning. read more ...
