Thank God for all our fantastic friends at 'Flickr'.

And thank God for all fearless photographers and photo journalists.

Caption Competition...

It's occurred to us that we've not had one of our caption competitions for quite a while.

Also, since we've lately been enjoying some amazingly, unseasonably hot April weather around here, we've been out & about a bit with our battered old "Brownie Box".

OK, so we've fibbed a bit about the Brownie, but when did we ever pass up absolutely any chance to mega-milk almost any kind of elongated/extended "alliteration" opportunity -- at all?

Anyway, coupling those first few sentences with our (so often, so obviously), shameless personal narcissusism, we've decided to display one of our own photos this time.

Over to you.

Our latest semi-absence excuse

Every so often we become convinced we simply must sod off somewhere else ~ and kick our keyboard completely into touch for a time.

Hence, the recent scarcity of sightings of ourselves.



So for better or for worse, depending upon how you feel about blogging old Brit buggers such as ourselves, we sometimes just sling our cameras over our shoulders and set off to see some more of real life ~ as opposed to the virtual type ~ whilst it's still possible.



It's sometimes so easy to forget that when the crooked, thieving, lying, politicians and powerbrokers can't be seen to be constantly conning, killing, etc, that there are still so many super-special places ~ almost within spitting distance of our own front door step.











See what we're saying?

Leastwise, attempting to.



But nothing lasts for ever.

Neither well earned breathers nor absolutely necessary breaks.

Eventually, it's inevitably time to head for home and get back into the blogging business.



Incidentally, isn't our friend 'flickr' fantastic? We don't know what we would do without out.

Friday Photography Blogging ...

Oh, boy. What a week. Are we bloody beat - or what?!

Believe it or not though, the blogosphere isn't the be all and end all : not even for yours truly.

So what other sorts of stuff do we do when we want to relax for a while?

The clue's in today's title of course.

































Okay, we know. You're bored now.

Enjoy your weekend everyone. We know we will. We've got plenty of freshly charged batteries and a wonderful weather forecast for tomorrow.

G'night for now. Sleep tight.

(Btw, all above pictures are our personal property. We own the copyright. Right?)
