Rainy day

I had good fun today.

I had a lovely walk in the rain, with a big, heavy, golfing umbrella to stop me from dissolving away. And I took  some nice photos, on my second walk of the day, to collect Meg from school!

I have been inspired recently, by some photography pages on Facebook, and am enjoying getting back into photography, and doing something with the photos!

Mind you, I nearly damaged my camera, trying to get too close a close-up of a big drop of water, hanging off a leaf!! Just as well I always carry tissues in my pocket!!

I think that photography is quite a mindful pass-time. I certainly find that I see more when I go walking with my camera. I could sometimes go for a walk and arrive home having seen nothing, as my mind has been working over-time. Not good! So, taking the camera helps me to quieten my mind and look around me, to be more in the moment.

So, today I am grateful to Thomas, who's camera I have commandeered since mine got broken, and to Kieran, who's golfing umbrella I found by the door when I thought I was going to have to stay indoors for the day!!!

Gratefully yours.
