Blipfoto Post for Saturday 28 January 2012: Survival Kit

I thought it was just a simple afternoon walk for the boys and I, our first real walk of the year of any decent length...a trip to Dunmore House. Well apparently I was wrong as my eldest made it into a fully fledged expedition as got his backpack out and pack a few items that he deemed necessary, namely:

cartons of drink
hat
gloves
head torch
extra torch
entrencing tool
multi-tool
entrenching tool
flint (for lighting fires)
needle/thread
wire saw
....and various other items he thought essential to survive the zombie apocalypse.

This is a shot of him preparing his entrenching tool ready to behead an attacking zombie....his brother couldn't for the makeshift weapon to be assembled so he is simply putting the boot in......

Glad to report that we made it home safe without being bitten.

Blipfoto Post for Friday 27 January 2012: Morning Fire

The days should be getting longer now but I swear they are getting shorter. This is about as much daylight as I saw/noticed today...still quite a nice glimpse as the hills outside our work looked almost as they were about to burst into flames.

Blipfoto Post for Some abstract shooting on the way home in the dark (can you spot the low temperature warning and the Gorilla with a torch?.

Arrived home to find an Email that flattered my ego...I managed to win this years Photo club league competition by the narrow margin of one point....I'm not proud...I'll settle for a one point margin! The shots that helped me win were all Blips:

Dysart Harbour (20/20)
Waking the Dead (17/20)
Path of Gold (17/20)
The Final Two (17/20)
Away from it All (16/20)

And the ones that didn't (only your top six scoring shots count):

Early Morning Curves (16/20)
Sunset Spires (15/20)
Industrial Colour (15/20)

Excuse me now as I've got to go and see if I can get me head out through the room door ;-)

Blipfoto Post for Wednesday 25 January 2012: Well Trodden Path

I've been here before...walking the same path....at (almost) the exact same time of year. Then I was trying to shake off a cold....today....I'm still trying to shake off a cold........does nothing ever change?
