Pasque Flowers







It was quite windy on Therfield Heath, but we got some pictures between the gusts of wind.  These are with the EM5 and the macro lens (except the first two, which are the kit zoom).

Gloucester Docks









Having gone to Brighton to sell all our remaining Canon gear at MPB, we drove to Winchester and stayed the night, then went on to Gloucester, first the Cotswold Water Park, then the city docks.  The warehouses have been tastefully refurbished but some of the old ones remain in a disused condition.  The lightship was for sale.  The Wetherspoons looked quite upmarket.

Coal Drops Yard









A club trip to London on a very windy day.  It stayed dry but overcast.  I took three prime lenses - 12mm, 35mm and 90mm.  The wheelbarrows are in Camley Neighbourhood Gardens, among the smart new skyscrapers and high-end shops and restaurants.

Micro-Surgery





I bought some tools for changing watch batteries and straps.  In spite of some successful surgery, neither of these watches, the Swiss (top) and Japanese (the others) could not be resuscitated.  The Seiko was burned out.
