One last one, I was standing taking my pictures the other day and for the first time ever, I had a feeling of being lonely as I did. I thought to myself, what woman in her right mind would want to stand on a stormy beach, in cold, bracing against the wind with me.

I took 1400 pictures, with my camera and phone. Whittled it down to 139, which will go down too 20 at the most.

I will try and get out today, might start a new project today, black and white long exposures, each shot being over a minute long is the basic and only rule.

5 goals and things to aim for, have been written down in my book for 2024.

A lot will change next year, change is needed. But you are only ready for change, when you see it yourself.

More things, will become clearer over the coming weeks and months.

All the very best to everyone in 2024 and have a Happy New Year.

I went to the coast yesterday, we have had winds after winds, direction looked good, but not just right, but it never matters, I tried my new kind of stormy weather set up,, camera with long lens and phone.

I think, I might have got a few shots, I took some selfies, but no one will want to see those. I watched people trying to walk to the end of the pier , I got some of them in a picture or two, one did go the whole way.

But I did have fun, all that really matters.

My plans are final now, for the future, this holiday, has taught me a lot, have to thank everyone for that one.

Will pop back with a blog and a picture on Sunday, one last one for this year.

10 years since, I shot this. life has changed a lot.

"it is not something I will do, to me it is not my blog if someone else can say if I can use the pictures I post in my blog, it is my creativity, I have asked people before if they would like to see a certain type of picture and have been happy to try and get something they like, once blogging saved my life, but thankfully I am not in the place and have not been for a very long time. If I got stopped from blogging on here, well life goes on.

I hope everyone, had the best of day's yesterday. It is easy to say, just another day, but then every day is actually like that.

I got a new pair of wellington's, these ones, have a nice Vibram sole, I have searched for a while to find such a pair, we do not get a lot of icy weather here, but my Muck Boots, are useless when we do, same when walking on slippery rocks. But I walk with walking poles most of the time and these help.

I once got asked, what my ultimate picture would be on here, yes probably would involve a lady in a pair of wellies, not something, that will probably ever happen.

My first cooked Christmas dinner, was a success, when my Mum says it's good, all that matters, me I was looking forward to the pudding, has to be one of the best things, I have ever tasted, basically a Chocolate cheesecake with a bit of orange sauce, I am a careful diabetic, but I could have got really greedy and had more than a slice.

I have been awake since, around 2am. I did think of going out for a wander in the countryside, but everywhere is so wet, sticking to roads, does really do it for me, plus the last time, I actually got stopped by the police, to ask, what I was doing.

In a year's time, I will get a new camera, it will take that long, for me, to finally make my mind up. It might be the last one, that I buy, plus just now, I am really enjoying the phone, I think around May time, I am going to buy a second hand one Canon R7 if that means anything to anyone, to use for the macro type stuff, I do, I really am going to be chasing butterflies , damsels and dragons a lot next year and also flower photography.

Swirlies, a strong wind and move the camera a little, some people are fantastic at this, I am learning. But for me, this picture is longing maybe for the days of summer.

Eventually, you just have to do it. Just now it is, maybe just finding that little window, where, you might get it dry for a little bit and get out. I seem to live in the wets just now, glad, I have 3 good sets, pair them with wellies and you are good to go, got a pair of goretex gloves as well now and will be adding a pair of mitts as well.

I am in the market for another jacket, will have to get a small or a medium. But really need to see them, before buying.

I will do a lot of thinking and planning, getting the life plan updated, setting the goals and well stepping some thing up a little. For all I am limited in somethings, I can do, I can do others a fair bit better now.

Keep on going . There is things in life, you just have to accept.

Little while back, I had an offer of a friends with benefits, type of thing, but before, it even happened, I told her, well, she would have to pick a strap on, for that would be the only way I could make love to her, it never went any further and in the end, she had more of a problem with it, than I did.
I put it into perspective a year or so again. So i canny get hard, big deal, I wake each morning and apart from that, I can do pretty much anything else.

If I was to find someone, and she did want me, to wear a strap on, would that bother me, not for a second, would just say go and buy what you want lol, plus, I have always preferred the oral side of things anyway.

For the first time in my life, I will be making the Christmas Dinner, not a turkey in sight, I prefer Chicken. New Years dinner here, was always a Steak Pie, now deciding on whether I will give that a go. Someone once said, I plan to much. I just try and do much, so it makes things easier, at least, I do not do a daily list like, I once did.

Nearly 10years since I took this one and as the years go by, I still have so many pictures to edit, hard to believe, I have de saturated the colour on this, but that night mother nature, she gave me a sight, that I am not sure I will ever witness again, when sky and water before, me, was like it was on fire

Merry Christmas everyone, who comes across my blog..

Thankful for the phone, the only bit of light in the sky, was where the sun would have been rising in about a hour or so time. I like the pictures, that might not be anyone else's taste, but sat and stared at this for ages.

Suspended from work for a day, so my holiday's started a day early.

I had this picture sitting, might be a lot of black and whites, this holiday, as the weather does not look great, end of the day, getting out, is the important bit. Will be hitting the coast, over the next few days, time to visit an old friend, to long since, I have been to that part of the coast. Time to get my arse down, those cliff's and see, what I get pictures off.

My plan is kind of simple, put the long lens on the camera and use my phone for everything else, saves changing lenses.

Enjoy your day everyone..

I have always been good at hiding things, not always a good thing, but my way of seeing it was, I was not giving anyone else something to worry about. My way of coping works for me.

Like when I am feeling lonely, I stay offline. When I am stressed, I walk , when I am really down, the camera it the saviour. A long time ago, I had counselling, The Doctor got me really back on track and the suicidal thoughts, that were there, I got over.

I walked this morning, usual short stroll, Venus, was so bright in the sky, 3 tawny owls calling, from different areas, I wonder if, they are talking to each other. As I went into the woods, on the road, someone, was walking, down headlight lighting there path, I started wearing one, at all times, these early mornings now, when it is really dark, I even turn it on, but mostly, I can see, well enough.

I was thinking of my holidays, what I hoped to get done. A really heavy fall of snow, is second on my list of what I was hoping for on Christmas Day, more chance of that than my ultimate gift on Christmas day, I am all done with the prep work for Christmas, a little bit of food shopping.

I sat on the little bench, at the memorial, wind was blowing in, but I can watch the world for just a little while. Thinking shortest day this week, 3 days to work, mind is always running at a 100mph.

From last Saturday as I was walking home,, I got one of my all time favourite photo's a few minutes later. I tend never to post these online. Once it was about the views, but this one I did, for now, I take pictures for me firstly. Did it do well or not, it does not matter.

Not really much snow, but I liked the sky and the birds flying somewhere, just adds to it all..

I keep fighting but sometimes, close to defeat, but tomorrow is another day, start it all fresh and just see.

6-05am, as I write this been up for a hour, it has been snowing overnight, not a lot, going to head out in a hour or so, see, if I can get a few pictures, not trying for the one, that I said would end my blogs for good, not that time yet.

Been frosty all week, as low as -7 when I cycled to work , but all dressed for that and it no problem. So much to think about.

I am one day early with the blog, I forgot it was not Sunday. but does it matter.

I messaged a few people this week and not one reply, was just a hello , it is all I ever do, it led me to think when was the last tine someone actually messaged me, to see how I was , that is a very very long time.

I made a few people at work happy, I had one off my feelings, looked at the horse racing, not one, but two horses, said to my workmate, and left it at that , both won and first i knew, was when he came running up to me, shouting they won, they won, he won 4 figures, he had never won money like that before, I got 5 other thank you as well, one was not so happy, as he said that one would never win, it was the biggest price of the two. I think it was just after my stroke, when I got back to work, was the last time, I had the feeling. I still never had a penny on them and that still never bothered me.

A long time ago now, this weekend, would be the start of the Christmas shopping for us, her dad would keep giving us lists and our job was to make sure, we got everything for everyone and then a few days before Christmas, in his pub, it would be the Christmas party, where it was all dished out to the children of the people that worked for him and the old ones, Poverty was bad , we had to deliver food as well and as write this tears run down my cheeks, some memories, still get me...

Both long gone now, me I have my memories.

Yesterday, was time to try and get that silky look of the long exposure with the phone, one of my crossing points, as the last of the sun kissed the bamboo on the side and just the right was coming over. Amazing how easy this is to do with the Iphone, the phone does all the work, once again it amazes me, just what a phone can do.
