Life as seen through my lens…

I spy a spider’s eyes

 

I spy a spider’s eyes, originally uploaded by Images by John ‘K’.

It’s still spider season in the Sunol Regional Wilderness and so I had another eight-legged encounter on the way home from work today. This one seemed more than happy to pose for me!

I was right down at spider-eye level to get this shot – he was looking right at me 🙂

Welcome to my new home

Microsoft in their infinite wisdom have decided to pull the plug on the Windows Live Spaces site that they’ve been running for a number of years, and have given all of their users a chance to move their blog content over to WordPress… so here I am. The stuff on here prior to today’s posts was transferred across from my Microsoft page automatically. It’s old and I’d neglected it badly in the past couple of years, but it gives some context for some of the stuff that I will likely end up posting as I start blogging here. Take it for what it is (or more accurately was).

This will likely become very biased towards my hobby of photography but I’m sure that an occasional rant about the rest of my life will pop up from time to time, and at some stage I’ll post an update to fill in the gaps between my last Windows Live post from 2 years ago and now!

So with all of that said, welcome to my new home.

I’ve been published

It’s not one of my best photos, but I’ve had a picture published in the local paper!!
 
 
We get the actual paper tomorrow.

Full Moon close-up

Because of its elliptical orbit, tonight’s full moon was the closest it has been to the earth in 15 years. It was supposedly 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the other full moons this year (according to the BBC news web site).
 
As I’m still trying to figure out how to take a good night shot with my camera I thought I’d grab a few pictures. I’m pretty pleased with the results. 🙂

Happy 18th Birthday Paula

Our little baby girl is not a baby any more.
She’s 18 now – an adult – finding what life has in store.
In our hearts she’s still our baby, 18 years have gone so fast
but our eyes have seen her grow into a woman unsurpassed.
 
She’s so full of love, so full of life, so full of fun and laughter.
She’s a really special person – must be her mum that she takes after.
At times we’ve had our issues; sometimes she’d drive us round the bend
but we can’t have done too badly, she’s turned out right in the end.
 
So to our youngest daughter Paula on this very special day,
we wish you love, long life and laughter (yes I know it’s a cliché).
There’s a world of opportunity for you to go explore,
but we’ll be right here if you need us – as it’s what parents are for.
 
With love
 
Mum and Dad XX
