Daisy, Daisy, Give Me Your Answer Do

Hm, an extremely dull and dismal day today, one that really tested the powers of 'looking for something other than which is grey'.

Went for a short walk at lunchtime, was startled to notice a student walking across the campus in shorts.

I myself was rooting around behind a rhododendron bush looking for new shoots, when I came across this; a tiny daisy, half unfolded, but unfolded all the same.

After work there was a New Year's drinks (another one!) It was OK, when I got home, a big surprise was waiting for me there - my new tripod had arrived!

I ordered it just before Christmas, as a little present to myself. It's wonderful, I've been practicing with it in the lounge. My new toy!

Now I can take night shots wherever I want, and not have to rely on leaning on bins, electricity meters, etc. Although I'm sure I will still do that sometimes, for the good times. Johnny Cash's version of this song always gives me goose pimples.
