me...

I'll probably get killed for this...

but I like the photo!

Would you trust him with that?

What was I thinking!?

Its a power piddle!!!!

I just had to post these two...they crack me up everytime...just look at his face in the second one!

Water fight

My little brother had a water fight with some mates of his the other day...so naturally I took photos...I am a little concerned though that like Timothy I'm beginning to like the desaturate button a bit too much!

I really like the above photo...mainly because of the water droplets...what do you think?

He deserved it!!!

And we're back to the buzzards...

They are slowly getting better...but its still quite hard to focus on a bird at 12x zoom!

Electrical storm

I would love to say that the above picture was a firey sunset which preceded a massive thunderstorm...but that would be a lie. However it was a firey sunset I few days ago...not unsimilar to the sunset last night. The only difference was by the time the sun was going down last night a massive thunderstorm had already broke and then lasted for well over two hours. And of course I couldnt jus sit there and let it pass. So out came my camera and it took me a while to find the right settings, but when I go it right...well see for yourself! The last photo is my favourite for obvious reasons, the first two are of either sheet lightening or forked lightening just of the photo (my view was limited as I was taking the photos out of my window, I was not going to risk getting fried by standing on the garage roof!) The second to last photo is one of the previous photo but I used ye oldie desaturate button (as tim called it) and I cant decide which is better the desaturated or colour version...any thoughts? Anyway hope u like them let me know what you think...

I'm at it again...

Yep I've been taking photos of midges again! Usually Im waving them away, but occassionally Im flashing bright lights at em!

Yet another sunset picture

I can't help it, Im sorry. But where I live now we jus keep getting beautiful sunset after beautiful sunset and tonight I jus couldnt stop myself! So what do u think? and also can u give it a suitable name? I think the telephone cables lead your eye quite nicely but what do u think?

I can see!!!

Well I can finally see the hills out of my window, u see its been raining all day and hence the view has been obscured from my sight by endless sheets of rain. However its stopped now so I might head outside in a bit, I'll see. Anyway this would just happen to be my 300th post, I can't believe I've actually writen that many. And any I thought I'd post a few more photos of my house and the surrounding area, well actually to be more precise surround wildlife

Frustration

Im bored, very bored...its raining, and there's nothing to do and I cant go outside cos I'll get wet...so I can't work in the garden, so Im sat in my bedroom writing this. So how are u all? Im good, yet bored. I want it to be sunny again...I mean when was the last time it was properly sunny? I mean a good week of pure sunshine? It was years ago (thats how it feels anyhow) so yh basically I wish it was dry. And I would go on however I have just received word that I need to go and set the dinner table. So you've been saved. However I might write another post this evening, when I've finished doing some painting in mum and dad's bedroom.

Unfortantly I havent had chance to edit any photos recently, so I can't post any for you to admire. However I will say one thing. There's at least 2 buzzards in the locality of my house, and yesterday I managed to take some shots of them, however they were a bit high up, but hopefully soon I'll be able to get some of them lower down. In which case I'll shove them up here. Also I might be doing a bit of climbing 2moz so I might also post some photos of that.

Now Im off to make lunch

Full flippin beam!

Livin in the country does have some disadvantages, one of which being everyone drives past ur house with their lights on full beam...which means everytime a car comes past in the night, my bedroom is floodlight for half a minute as the car approaches our house...I mean u get used to it...but the first night when I didnt have any curtains up...it was a little awkard...anyway here's what it looks like.

The Road

The Midge

Imagin the scene, it was dusk and I was out photographin...and of course being in the country there were millions of midges out...and by the look of things they liked me....there was a huge swarm just behind my head....so I thought I'd get my own back on em and flash a bright light at them....and this was the result...what do you think?

The evening

The View

All these are of the view from my bedroom window

HELLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hey Everybody! Im back online! Yep I finally have the internet on in my bedroom...however I need to help with some angle grinding...so Im posting one photo of my new house and I'll post loads more later on tonight

Tuesday....

Yep today is tuesday, and its 9:24 which is far too early to be up, however Im moving house on thursday so I haven't really time to spare. However by the end of today I probably will have pack my computer into boxes....therefore this is likely to be my last post from manchester...its a bit of the end of an era really...oh well where I'm moving to is much nicer than here...so I'm not really that bothered! lol But come thursday morning we'll all be packing boxes into a very large van. Ready to drive down to a house in Shropshire...one rather brillant thing is Im finally back on the car insurance! So having not driven for 10 months im now back on the road :D Anyway Im short of things to say so one small thing which I noticed then Im off....

As the rivalry between this Blog and Tim's (rather good) blog is pretty high...I thought I'd point out that last month I posted more posts than him! And he prides himself on how many posts he writes! So yh Timothy I win....however his blog is very good and u should go and visit it!
