Miscellaneous Monday #6

-
I was faffing around with my camera
in the gardens at my work
during a tea break in the summer
and I thrust the camera down into the foliage
pointing the lens skywards
and this was the result
a tad abstract

    Abstract, perhaps, Saz, but it is quite pretty!

    And quite lovely!
    Sometimes the best shots are the unconventional ones - the ones where we break all the rules and go for something we've not seen before. I love this - it seems to be saying, "Look up! Look up! You can climb through the foliage and break through to the blue sky!"

    The light you've captured here is wonderful, Saz, and so deliciously reminiscent of summer... Sigh... You have such an eye, my dahlink! xox

    A squirrel's view perhaps but very interesting for us humans. Thanks.

    Neat shot! What kind of tree is that?

    I just found your blog and had to look up "faffing." I love learning new languages. :)

    Isn't it amazing the photos one can come up with by looking through the branches of a tree? This is terrific.

    Sara- I always wondered what it would be like to be a rabbit. I'm too claustrophobic. ~rick

Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise.

Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
