My Bears
I've looked after these bears since I was a young 'un. At the moment they are sitting on a bookshelf near my writing desk.
55 years ago, the larger bear (Big Ted) was sat on my Nanna's settee, comforting yours truly.
The smaller of the two bears (Little Ted) was brought home by my grandfather, who worked at British Rail - the furry fella having been abandoned at his station's Lost and Found.
I am quite happy with this image of the two bears and am minded to start a new foto-project exploring the remains of my childhood. Watch this space, as they say...
An Early Morning Harvest of Sunshine
Monday, August 23, 2021
What a glorious morning :) Within minutes of waking I was out down my local woods to harvest some images:
Passenger Seat (3)
I have a particular soft spot for the above image. I just wish the cow had turned her head slightly towards me as I took the short. Ay oh.
~Passenger Seat~
The first image from my next photography project- Passenger Seat:
As you can see, I am still a fan of low-res imagery. There are lots of reasons for this, which I will try to put into words over the course of this project :)
Zephyr
Well, the concept behind this story really has been stuck in my head for a few years now. It was just waiting for a suitable storyline to accompany it. In quick flash of inspiration today, this has now made itself known to me. Set in London, all I need now is a bit of spare time to do a little work on it...
Given the setting of this folk horror tale, I think a timely sharing of an audio recording I made a few years back in the London Underground:
Ogmore-by-Sea
August 15, 2021
I spent a much-needed day at the seaside over the weekend, choosing Ogmore-on-Sea as my destination :) The weather was grey and overcast, with the sun struggling to make to make an occasional appearance through the clouds.
I spent the day exploring the plethora of interesting pebbles that populate the sands here, and picnicking along its numerous banks that overlook the shore.

| Having a Picnic, Ogmore-by-Sea |
The seagulls at Ogmore-by-Sea were in a particularly boisterous mood, pressuring the more sedate human visitors to the beach for snacks. Settling down to a well-earned portion of rustic chips, purchased from the mobile cafe, these seaside gulls swooped and whirled around us in a storm of feathers and squawking beaks:
I really enjoyed my time at Ogmore-by-Sea, a rare day out these days to be sure. And the seagull's antics as they made their want for my picnic physically manifest really was the icing on the cake of my daytrip. I will end this post with a short video of the various seagulls. And honestly, they really were after my chips, despite the tongue in cheek title of the video.
