and trying not to fall
I’ve recently gone out a couple of times during the morning and taken some photos of the surrounding area. The first time ws just a frosty day and the photos were a bit meh and the second time was a very foggy day and there was frost around as well. So, without any further fuss, here are a few of the photos I took. You can see the rest (15 in total) here.
I was talking to my Mom last night about my Poetry Challenge project, and she gave me one. She said:
“How about one about cats?”
So here is my poem about cats. I’ve decided that I’m going to occasionally integrate my photography and my poetry. Some people aren’t very excited about poetry so maybe this will engage them a little better. This poem is again a Japanese form. I’m still studying the English stuff. I just want to get a bit better at it before I humiliate myself. This form is called a Tanka and traditionally has a 5-7-5-7-7 pattern, though in modern Tanka as in Haiku, that is no longer always the case. Tanka is not something I’ve done before, so this is still a challenge for me. I hope I’ve got it at least somewhere near what it is meant to be. I decided to put this one on a photo I took of Truffle, one of our cats. I suppose you could call it a sort of photographic Haiga. Obviously no great skill was required in this case, and my mastery of Zen, well – what mastery? Anyway, enjoy.

Ah, it ends at last. I’ve finally finished uploading the photos I think are worth displaying so you can see them all at my Italy Set on Flickr or you can go directly to my photostream. Alternatively, I’ll put a few of the recently uploaded ones below. Enjoy.
So there they are. I hope to do some winter photography at some point around here but I suppose that means going out into the cold, wet and muddy conditions. I suppose whether I do it or not is yet to be decided. I’d go out if it were snowing, but I suppose that’s too much to hope for.
It’s taken ages to do this. I added more, again. As usual, you can see more if you wish if you go to my Italy Set on Flickr or you can go directly to my photostream.
Today is round 2 of my Italy photos. I shall post a few below and like yesterday if you wish to see more you can go to my Italy Set on Flickr or you can go directly to my photostream. I shall add another round tomorrow. That may or may not be the last of them, depending on how long it takes.
