I must have at least 100 pictures of the Victorian cemetery next to my old workplace. They're all neatly organised in a folder called "cemetery," and a few years ago, I made monthly LJ posts about the flora and fauna of the place ( Read more... )

I stopped my monthly cemetery pictures during the winter, because nothing exciting was happening, except for Unmitigated Squelch. (Band name?) But everything's been waking up nicely during February.

I managed to a get a small amount of time out in the snow with my new camera today, although I was limited by the fact that I could only get to places I could walk to from work in half an hour. The light was pretty pathetic all day. Although there were patches of blue sky up above, there was a low fog for most of the day, so the sun seldom ( Read more... )
