Spring
The time for hibernation is almost over.
Another spring is arriving, and with it the anniversary of the pandemic looms into view. The UK is still locked down and we are limited to local travel only; I am aching to get out and about more. I feel like my lovely new camera is not getting the material it deserves!
I adore this time of year. Naturing is waking up, we are dusting out the cobwebs, and Mr Mole is about to grab his can of white wash. Crisp cool mornings, sunny days that are not sweltering, colourful sunsets, more light at both ends of the day, and more photographic interest. Lovely.
If, like me, you feel you’ve been rather lazy of late, then let me remind you of a great quote from The Wind in the Willows:
No animal, according to the rules of animal-etiquette, is ever expected to do anything strenuous, or heroic, or even moderately active during the off-season of winter. The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame
So don’t feel guilty about it; now is the time to get out and about. There is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about with cameras. Pretty sure that’s right.
At this point I’ve pretty much exhausted every local walk and point of interest that google maps has to offer though. I think I’ve had it easier than some in this…
