Friday in february catch up

so as promised I have found the enthusiasm from somewhere to keep going with this and show some of the pictures I have taken over the last week or so. The website is still not finished. there is not much I am going to change at this juncture although it does need an overhaul. Any suggestions? have a look at www.vertrouge.co.uk. I should set some sort of deadline to do this, but ....

OK so I have taken some more pics.

From the last week or so this is one of my favourites, It was taken opposite Shrewsbury School on the river Severn. The school boat house is just to the left of the shot. I am quite impresses with the sharpness of the Swan and the blur and feeling of motion from the background.

It feels like the overcast murky, grey and cold weather has gone on for weeks maybe this is one of the contributory factors to my general feeling of, well how to explain, lethargy and apathy are in there somewhere, though there is a fair dose of something else, which I am not sure of at present.

So what else have I seen...

The year has finally made it to February, and I have had the odd moment of inspiration, this bottle being one. It was part of the general Flotsam and Jetsam on the river and although I looked hard for the message..... I like the idea anyway.

So what next, well I am not sure really after some thinking I have this of the weir downstream from the English Bridge

This is as far as I walk on my downstream jaunts and it sort of captures the speed of the water as it goes over the top.

Finally I found a duck that swam nicely past and let me take her picture. she was probably on the look out for bread or some other food. I was sad to disappoint. However she is very cute and although she seemed at the time to be on her own I am sure she will find what she is looking for

OK bed time so I will be back to continue soon
