[England 2014] Cleethorpes and...surrounds. Oh and Hitchin.

Towards the end of our trip we were seeing a lot of Simon's family,
and he hails from Barnetby, and he has family and friends in Messingham,
and their local ocean stomping ground was Cleethorpes and such.
It was cold, despite the blue skies (actually colder, because there
were no clouds to hold in any humid air or warmth)
but it was a good day.

[Photography] Macros (Monday batch one)

More from the garden.
These were my first attempts.
I'm using an Olloclip, which is a small phone attachment
that attaches to the iPhone.
I have a ton more but I'm trying to do these in order.
Man I actually have a lot of photos to put up in general so if you find these tedious
or unwelcome, you don't have to follow me <3

[Photography] Macros (Monday batch two).

I like macro photography,
it recalls my early childhood,
when I would spend hours just staring at small things in the garden.
And now I have an excuse to stare at small things again.
It's rather wonderful.


Sneaking up on a sleeping fly.

[Photography] Moet and Maybe 2013 Part I

Life conspired against me last year, and
subsequently I was still taking a lot of photos
(mostly on my iPhone actually, for convenience)
but I wasn't processing them or putting them up.
But everything is processed now, and so...
I'm catching up on some old journalling habits.


Get a cat today! Convenient remote control holder!

[Photography] Moet and Maybe 2013 Part II

The last part.
These two continue to rock my socks,
even as I type this out and code it all
Moet is lying on the chair next to me.
Katt expressed surprised at just how social they were the other day,
but I take it for granted. They like people. They're good for us.
And I like to think we're good for them.


Lazy days. And for those of you who knew Maybe from the beginning, you'd know what a treasure it is to see her able to relax her body like this.
