Sunday

Since Andy told me that overcast light is the best light to shoot in, it made me do two things. Firstly, it made me glad to live in England – world leaders on overcast weather. Secondly, it made me go out and photograph anything and everything whenever the sky is grey. It’s such amazing, even light.

More green things again, though, sorry.

Hey, Hot Shot

Remember that scene in Hot Shots! Part Deux at the start where Charlie Sheen is going to bare-knuckle fight that guy in some warehouse or wherever? And before they start fighting they dip their hands in sweets? That’s what my lunch today reminded me of.

It’s important to bear in mind that sometimes I just like wandering round taking photos of whatever. With the 50mm 1.8 on the D700 is a lovely, light (it is, shut up) camera. These hopefully won’t be the best photos I take all week, but they’ll be amongst the most fun I had holding a camera, for sure.

Also, fuck you I know my lawn is a mess. I hate gardening.

afternoon, evening, morning, gardening

Every day, he sleeps using my effects pedals as a pillow. It doesn’t look comfortable.

Charlotte makes the best pizza.

First strawberries.

They’ve been through it, these strawberries. In a pot since destroyed by excited puppy, the strawberries made the treacherous move to hanging basket only to defy all the odds and grow into the most delicious strawberries Charlotte has ever eaten. Apparently. Personally, I think strawberries are crap, but there y’go.

an afternoon in the garden

After much work on the garden and an order of furniture, we’re finally getting to a stage that we can just sit and relax out there. Sudo’s really enjoying it as well – he can wee whenever he feels like it!

Our lovely, turfed lawn. Complete with sprinkler.

I can’t take any credit for this, but I thought it might be quite nice to monitor the progress of it all. It’s very nice.

Hang from washing line. Steal nuts.

extreme gardening

Don’t have a before shot, but you can kinda tell with this snowy number!

I’ve been working like a trooper to clear out bushes and shrubs, and this is the result. I used an axe!

some gardening

Jasper — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:13:44 +0000

We’re trying to prepare the garden for some new grass. There’s a pretty big plant-bed that takes up about a third of the width of the garden for the whole length of the lawn. I’m not against plant-beds, but I’d prefer more space/less maintenance/better play environment for Sudo, so that’s what we’re doing. The bushes, trees and shrubs planted therein were quite large and well-established, and I can’t find my axe, so I’ve been bested for the day.

I need to find a decent way to remove stumps. Anyone has any ideas, hit me up.
