Daily photo #133 how bad are city traffic jams?, originally uploaded by johnfitzg.

Not too bad in Norwich, though the streets were jammed with shoppers.

Daily photo #132 sleeping beauty, originally uploaded by johnfitzg.

I’ve been woken recently by the sun streaming through the blinds just before 8. This shot is a counterpart to daily photo #125 – a shot of me at the end of a long day. Here we have the opposite angle, and the opposite end of the day. Luckily Mrs F is a more elegant sleeper than I, and was untroubled by my early morning shot.

 

#131 each to their own, originally uploaded by johnfitzg.

Went for something simple with a mobile phone camera today. Mrs F has a penchant for ‘NoCaff’, a supposed substitute for real coffee. I am determined to never to let a drop of NoCaff pass my lips.

Mrs F says this is dogma on my part; I should taste the wretched drink before condemning it. I argue that I am allowed to dismiss certain beverages a priori. The suspect NoCaff brew is seen to the right left [thanks to Mrs F for clarifying this point] of the photo. Note its suspiciously foamy surface. My more orthodox and tasty coffee is to the right. Each to their own!

Daily photo #130 illusion, originally uploaded by johnfitzg.

Out of the kitchen window this evening I saw a strange flying object. Fortunately, the word I was assigned for my weekly photo this week was ‘illusion’.

Daily photo #129 sunset, originally uploaded by johnfitzg.

A very similar composition to yesterday, but a different time of day makes for a very different shot. Great to see the sunsets getting later and later.

Daily photo #128 sky sun clifftop, originally uploaded by johnfitzg.

This morning we walked along the beach from West Runton back to Sheringham. Under the cliffs the sun was just peeping over at times, it is still very low in the sky.

Daily photo #127 marshy grasses, originally uploaded by johnfitzg.

Went for a walk on Beeston Common today, an SSI not far from where we live. Frogs were spawning on a little pond (exciting but unphotogenic with a short lens). Instead I went for this shot of what I rather loosely term ‘marshy grasses’. Special reward for anyone who knows their real name!

#126 blustery sea, originally uploaded by johnfitzg.

Back after a break of a day, I missed taking any photos yesterday as I was working on a design project until quite late. It was clear down by the sea today, but cool and blustery. Made my eyes water whenever I looked into the wind! In this shot I liked the movement on the sea. It was also nice to break the compositional ‘rule’ which says you shouldn’t put the horizon in the middle of a shot!

Daily photo #125 knackered by nine, originally uploaded by johnfitzg.

R and I spent the entire day driving back from Edinburgh to Norfolk. We shared the driving, but the long hours on the road took their toll. All I was left with for the daily photo was a self-portrait with my eyes shut! Despite the restful look, this shot involved a remarkable amount of hopping up and down to check focus etc… Good night!

Daily photo #124 Granny Kathy, originally uploaded by johnfitzg.

Saw Granny in Peebles today, she was on fine form as ever. A large amount of tea was drunk!
