But it is all futzing stone

Yesterday’s challenge on the fast-running-out-of-days Castaway’s blog was to take a short walk and photograph something stone.

This was going to be easy, Lancaster is mostly stone buildings. The office complex we have offices in is stone, the steps leading to it are stone, the bridges on the canal next to it are stone.

So I took a few pictures as I strolled out to lunch along the canal, including the nice reflections from the water on the underside if one of the stone bridges.

The future is now

It is a regular occurrence for our two boys to want to come into our bed in the mornings.

This morning Ben wanted to join us and for me to get “daddy’s phone” and then to do “pictures”.

This is because he knows I can take, edit, view and upload all from the phone.

I realised once again this morning how much we were in the future we were promised an how the world is so different a place for my children. (By the way, this post is being composed and uploaded from the same device).

Also I had the fun of running a photo through four apps and changing the experience, all of this took less than ten minutes.

So with the camera, then into Snapseed to edit, then PhotoBokeh to add stage one image effects and finally Phoster to make it into a poster.

For the daily photo challenge yesterday on Castaway’s blog we had to take a photo of an interesting door. I liked these in Preston which I have edited to give a slight vignette to enhance.

A random snap of Leigh, I looked at what I love and she was looking at the children whom she loves.

There was a warm and gorgeous sunset this evening while we were driving home.

This is one of the scariest displays I have seen and it is intended to be nice. In its favour small children love the animatronic high jinks. Against it is the fact that it is scary as heck.

Valentines Challenge

The task set for Valentines Day on Castaway’s photo blog was to take a photo of something pretty.

Thankfully the skies helped me out and it being that day I thought I would give a message that suited is all not just those of us lucky to have someone to love.
