Must dash

Time fly’s by when you have lots to do and trying to keep 3 blogs going certainly makes for a busy life.

The Leek blog is doing very well and has so far giving me 118 new photos of my local area that I would not have taken normally. That has been one of the reasons I have been as busy as I have been getting to known the local villages and capturing some really good images along the way.

The photo blog is also taking some of my time as I continue with the photo course; I have added another update on there today along with some photos to illustrate the post.

One of my projects that I have just finished is a photo book about Kep, see the link opposite, this is a collaboration with Caz and has been done to give us a record of him growing up and has been done now as doing something like this after he has gone would be just too painful, it also give us chance to work on book two as Kep seems to be in the best of health and set to collect another catalogue of photos. Any feed back in to how the book looks, you can only view the first few pages, would be very welcome. Two more books are in the planning stage, one based on the photos taken for this blog in its first year and on based on the Leek blog showing images of Leek and the Staffordshire Moorlands.

I hope to have my first blog of the day announced tomorrow, I still need to get the format right and produce an award that is suitable, so fingers crossed it could be you (really the first one is a regular reader of this blog)

Photo today is an abstract image, of what I will reveal tomorrow

I love water! I do hope it's a waterfall.

I'm guessing it's a river?

I'm guessing the picture is of a stream. I have to say that the first 15 pages of Kep's journey is great. Those pictures are laid out so nicely and demonstrate his life well. He's an adorable dog and was so cute as a pup. What a great idea to do this before he's gone. Have a great day.

Your book is fantastic, the images of Kep are absolutely gorgeous. I was very surprised to see Fanta (though it must be her in a previous life as she's only 5 now) on the walk with you on the canal path, but it does look just like her.
Thanks for the song :).

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever
