… to all my blog readers.
I’m afraid I’ve been rather lacking in blog posts over the last couple of weeks, and any photos I took of the Christmas festivities are now sadly out of date. Who wants to look at Christmas cakes and trifles when they are suffering from a surfeit of them? Maybe I’ll save them till the middle of summer..
I have just acquired a new laptop and have been busy getting to grips with Windows 7 (which I’ve actually found pretty intuitive so far, once I turned off all the manufacturer’s annoying popup reminders and software and configured Thunderbird to act and feel as much like Outlook Express as possible.
I haven’t quite organised my photos yet so here are a few reedy ones I took the last time I remembered my camera! My new laptop has a nifty little card reader in the side but since my camera didn’t have any photos on it that wasn’t much help:(
Look at the yellow leaves on these reeds … when I walked this way in November, they were all a brilliant yellow! Sadly, I didn’t have my camera with me. It’s amazing how different they look from one month to the next. Once they were a deep green and the seedheads were a purply colour. I have decided to try and retrace my steps WITH my camera at least once a month through this year. Maybe I should look to see if this new laptop has a loud bleep to remind me of such things!
So… two resolutions for the new year … Blog More and Monthly Reed Photos. And I need to take an online course or two to get my creativity kickstarted again. What about you?

Taking monthly reed photos is a great idea, will really show the change in seasons. I plan to do the same thing, going up on the hill every month and taking a picture to show the difference in the seasons.
Good idea, we’ll have to try and remind each other!! It’s amazing how they change over the months…
