Life with cats, and other things…
07:00. 11th October 2026. The colour of the sky set the tone for the day. As Fall moves through its many phases, the world around us changes by the moment encouraging us out into the countryside, to see as much of it as possible. I looks as if I may never catch up with posting … Continue reading Wonderful and otherwise
10th October 2026 Things got off to a bad start because a gremlin had invaded my camera which therefore refused to focus. I'd made all the usual adjustments hoping to cure the problem, but sadly, without result. I was depressed. Just for fun, I'd looked up the price of cameras recently. A new one is … Continue reading Red wing chorus
10th October 2026 When it was suggested last Saturday (10th) that this was a fine day to retrace an earlier journey into Vermont, I was delighted to abandon getting acquainted with the new PC. While I am no quitter, there are times when to continue is foolish. Under stress, mistakes are made! It would all … Continue reading Crossing the border

8 days ago. Fall had barely got underway. It was the cloud I wanted to capture. Two steps forward, three steps back. Every time I think I've made progress familiarising myself with the new computer, I come up against another blasted password. Passwords, codes....oh for a world where they were not necessary. Adjusting to the … Continue reading Backwards and forwards
The canopy was opening up admitting shafts of golden light. This time of year, I view it as a crime to stay indoors while Nature puts on an ever-changing, glorious and utterly wonderful spectacle. It is rather like having a scant few hours to spend in a great art museum and knowing you cannot possibly … Continue reading Pushy people
A few photos from the end of September How long should a desktop computer last? I can't remember how long I had the previous one which eventually developed a problem no one seemed able to fix. It still functioned but as I worked, the contents of my screen kept rolling off to the right. I … Continue reading Getting backed up
