Day 51 - Swan


Mum joined me at the sea wall today - after hearing about the seal and all the other wildlife I've been seeing all month - and guess what - not a bit of wildlife anywhere except this swan who came scooting over rapidly to check us out. He then settled down for a good ol' preen right in front of us whilst we chatted. We think he must have been a bit lonesome!

Day 50 - Kingfisher


I finally managed to catch a glimpse of this little fella with my camera - motion blur and all :) Still - you can see his lovely colours and it's enough for me - knowing that I finally managed it! Next task - find his regular perch and try to catch him there!

day 49 - Watching Me, Watching Him

That little blob by the arrow - it's a seal :) I watched him for most of my lunchtime today - it was so nice in the sunshine, I almost considered taking my coat off! Not bad considering it was 0 degrees Celsius this morning and a massive hail storm last night. I considered taking my SLR in to work today but didn't fancy leaving it in the car in such low temperatures all day - I'm definitely taking it tomorrow though - just in case this little chap is still around :) Either that or I have to work out how to zoom a bit on my phone!

Day 48 - Just some Daisies



Testing Mum's P&S with a view to borrowing it for workdays :) It fits in my handbag!

Day 47 - Maldon - Again!

I'm obviously a creature of habit (or bored at lunchtime!) I have to get out of the office for a while every lunchtime so as this bit of seawall is only 5 minutes away, it seems a logical place to wander to. And of course, I'm still hoping to spot the kingfishers perch!

Day 46 - Laminator



I've been wanting one of these for a while and with possibly 3 craft fairs between now and Christmas, I couldn't put it off much longer. It was a bargain price though :)

Day 45 - Fabric



New bag I think - when I get around to it!
