If you know someone who likes photographs of particular things, why not take a moment or two to make a picture especially for them? Sharing your work in this way will bring a certain pleasure to both of you. It’s an unusual kind of gift. It’s one which can surprise, delight or entertain. It says “I was thinking of you when I made this image”.  It costs nothing really, but nevertheless it has a value.

This picture is for Lee, simply because he left a comment about cold and wiggly lines recently. There will be another picture tomorrow for Shara. She likes the look of rusty wire fences.

When you see something you want to photograph, just do it right there and then while it's fresh, without even thinking about why. Afterwards, move around whenever you can. Move in. Move out. Change angle. Make several pictures from other positions.

Could a photo taken from somewhere else satisfy you even more? You'll never know until you try.

Photography ranks as one of the greatest discoveries of all time. It's never been easier to record what we see. The latest technologies take the tedium out of note-taking. Geotagging with mobile devices adds to the fund of data we can collect and store.

Today's weather experts are predicting the likelihood of the coldest UK winter on record for one hundred years. I don't know if some person a century from now will need to search the image archives for a picture of a frosty teasel taken near Tewkesbury, or even if they'll still be able to. But that doesn't stop me from wanting to share something with you from my country walk yesterday.

The local half of The Enots (Peter & Jane) decided to introduce the visiting half (Jan & Al) to the Den's Hens eggsperience this morning. Court Farm is just up the road from The Tree House. It is where fresh, wholesome eggs are sold. They come from happy hens, which you can see roaming free in the surrounding fields, all hunting and pecking for proper food. The eggs are naturally eggcellent. I've used plenty this holiday, since I consider an FEB (Full English Breakfast) to be an essential start to a busy day's splorin'.
