It was only a two day weekend this week – scandalous! Still, c’est la vie. It was a good weekend: on Friday night it was the first 21 of the new term. There were 22 young people there! – mostly year sixes who’d come up. It was pretty crazy, I think they all had a…

Day 258: Euphorbia Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph with no obvious horizon." Well, although you can see the ground in this picture you can’t see the horizon! I do like the background though – the sun was shining just in the right direction 🙂

Strings Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph that features vertical lines today." Well these guitar strings are getting a bit old now but they are vertical!

Day 256: Sky Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph of the sky today". This photograph was taken in the gathering dusk. There was so much going on in the sky, I think it looks beautiful!

Well, what a weekend it was! Four glorious days off… fantastic 🙂 Friday was, of course, the day of the Royal Wedding. I didn’t know whether to watch it or not, in the end I decided to and enjoyed it. My favourite bits of the service were the Bible reading (Romans 12 – very unusual…

Day 253: Crops Growing Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph that is composed of several layers today." Well this photo is of rows of crops in a field growing away. I don’t think the rows came out that clearly but I quite like the photo so decided to use…

I thought I’d give you another general life update now, rather than a general weekend style update, as I will do that tomorrow. So: at the end of my last post on the subject, I had been accepted by the Church for training but hadn’t been offered a place at college. Well, I’ve now been…

Day 251: Old Machinery Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph of something old or aged today." Well I don’t know how old this thing is but it’s pretty old. I’m not even sure what to call it – I think it was part of a conveyer belt kind of…
