Monaco morning

Ooh - a busy day today.

Went down to Monaco to see if I could manage a short walk round the peninsula.  I couldn't  :(  Luckily, there were anough birds to keep me entertained in the absence of a 'real' walk.

Home for coffee before heading online to enjoy a zoom presentation from Jonathan Harrod as part of the covid-cancelled Seddon Shield photography weekend.  I wasn't going to go down for the event but when it was cancelled and zoom alternatives were offered I decided I would.  Loved hearing Helen McLeod talking about her creative style yesterday and hearing about Jonathan's approach to wildlife photography today.  I took this image before hearing his talk otherwise it may have looked a bit different! Looking forward to part II of Jonathan's presentation this evening.

After zoom presentation I headed off to get my vaccination #1. Those of you who know me will know that I have resisted doing this. I'm not an anti-vaxer per se, but taking it (taking *anthing*!) doesn't sit well with my general philosophical approach to my health. However, my pragmatic side also had to accept that I may *have* to have it if I ever want to travel overseas and return to NZ again. I do. My family are all in England and obviously I want to be able to see them. I always knew it was possible that a 'vaccine passport' was a possibility and noises are beginning to be made about limitations to travel for the un-vaccinated hence I reluctantly accepted that I would have it.

After that very efficient and well-run process it was off to the supermarket. A busy day indeed, challenging on several levels.

Thre evening zoom session was great and i feel quite inspired to tweak my approach to my bird and general nature photography. Let's see what happens over the next wee while.....
