I am in danger of dropping into a blip abyss. Not planned but just a complete lack of ability and head space. So I give you a flower and I give myself a challenge to get back on the horse and stop faffing about.

I'm thinking I should be trying out my newly repaired lens along with my newly purchased tripod to replace the one which broke when it all toppled over some months ago. I wasn't impressed with either the stability of the tripod or the sharpness of the lens today. Then again, perhaps it's me who is a bit rusty.
