We have a large sign on the door saying No Canvassers (etc.). When (NOT if!) they ring the bell, they get told that if they're too bleeping stupid to read the sign, they're not getting out votes! And why do the Green Party use a printer 300 miles away and print their leaflets on glossy paper?

Lovely morning so took advantage of Mrs Nod's absence to get out for an hour or so on the bike.

For those with long memories (or Challenge!)

Possibly but they seem to spend as much time on the shady side of the roof as they do on the (occasionally!) sunny side as well as sitting in the shadow of the chimney stack. Again, possibly but they (parents) go up most mornings, even when there are no kits around to push off! As I said in...

I was hoping for a cuppa somewhere on my quick blast round the 40 mile block this morning but everywhere wasn't open yet! Mind you, I was home by 08:30! Mrs Nod is at a class and the Sun is out so it would have been rude not to take advantage.

A very quick 4 for me. 4g with the second guess and 2 further options...

Possibly but they spend most of the time looking across at the trees about 20' from where they're sitting! It's pretty much a daily thing, especially at the moment and one of the adults spent a fair while teaching a youngster how to transition from the wall to the roof top.

We spend too much time watching some local squirrels on the rooves (either spelling seems OK!) of the houses opposite and Mrs Nod asked me what they were doing up there. Other than playing and having a good view, I'm at a loss! Can anyone give me a better explanation for this behaviour...

I'm with you in the most part - shoot it as straight as possible. No real objection to the background looking less natural but IMO, the main subject should be as it is.

We can only hope...

T-shirt weather today! Plenty warm enough up the Otter to shed the fleece and shirt.

A marginally better 5 for me today. Just couldn't see it until I had 3g, 1y!

Good to see you're back to enjoying photography as a hobby, Kipax.
