The stories behind

Blast from the past

It’s been a while since I’ve been at the seaside, any seaside.  So I had to dig deep into my vault to find photos of sea and sun and sand.  I went even further back than I expceted, more than 15 years and a couple of cameras ago. And it probably wasn’t even summer at Halfmoon Bay on the Arabian Gulf in Saudi Arabia.

I’m a fan of … mushrooms

I’m not a mycologist (or however mushroom specialists are called) so I take photos of them but otherwise I leave them be.  I’m pretty sure I can recognise a parasol mushroom but “pretty sure” is too uncertain for me.  No mushrooms for dinner tonight!

Solitary ‘shrooms.  This one a little past its prime.
