Catching Up – Variety Post

I’ve become consistently inconsistent in my posting, partly due to fewer opportunities to spend time out with the camera but also because I am becoming a touch more picky about what I do post. Anyway, here’s a selection from the first week of April (8 days a week?)

I spotted this skylark on a fencepost at Sheepcote Valley on my way in to work.

    Nice week review. I have some photographs from our day trip to Bowen Island last week but they are still in camera, waiting to be downloaded and checked.

      Darko, thanks! I’m being a little more disciplined than in the past… taking fewer pictures and spending less time processing the ones I won’t use for anything. Checking always takes too long. These days I scan quickly for the ones I’ll use and ignore the rest. Trying to work out what to delete is far too much work (far too many to delete!)
