Sorry for this brief intermission.....

Apologies for apparently coming to a halt on this blog. My PC video display isn't working, for reasons I have yet to find out. There are many things I can do without the display, but I'm afraid that editing and organising photographs defeats me!

I hope to get this resolved in the next couple of days, so please bear with me. There is plenty of material waiting in the wings, and I hope to share it as soon as I can.             I am sorry for temporarily drying up on this blog.

2306 Dazzling Flowers

Growing along the canal near Frog Island, Leicester.

2206 The Blue Hour

It was that time after sunset when the world can look, briefly, bluer than usual.

2106 Feeding the Birds

2006 Church Spire (detail)

Interesting structure, this!

1906 What a Bright Fundraiser!

The Dogs Trust was appealing to people today to sponsor a dog.

1906 What a Bright Fundraiser!

1806 What a bright Boat!

1706 Quiet Beer Garden

At the Tom Hoskins pub, Beaumoanor Road, Leicester. If you prefer the crowds, go there when the football's on!

1606 Miniature Roses

I'm pleased to say these are growing in my own garden.

1506 Flood and Mud Check

Last time I was here, I couldn't get here because of floods. The path has passed through the muddy stage and now has a coating of gritty soil, but at least I can go onwards.

1406 Slap in the Face

I couldn't really miss this because I walked right into it! My guide dog doesn't usually deal with overhanging foliage.

1306 Relaxing Chamomile

1206 Boat Garden

A novel way to decorate the aft of your narrow-boat!

1106 Alternative Male Attire

This gentleman's white robe looked like a very good idea on this hot and humid day.

1006 Space Centre on a Fine Evening

The National Space Centre in Leicester a little before sunset on a fine summer evening.

0906 You Cannot Be Serious!

My guide dog often looks me in the face while he's working. He seemed to be wondering why on earth I'd walked in this direction!

0806 Walking Under Trees

0706 Rowing in the Rain

Flaming June strikes again!

0606 Quiet Moments

People take their ease by the river on a beautiful and still early afternoon.

0506 Electronic Steel Pan Player

The man could play steel pan or steel drum sounds, while backing himself on a drum-kit and other accompanying instruments. It did sound good! He was stationed by the Clock Tower (left) and the Haymarket Centre (right) in Leicester City Centre.

0406 Petrol Rainbow

I haven't noticed one of these for many years - quite nostalgic!

0306 The Tree Tunnel

This is actually a path through Belgrave Hall Gardens, Leicester.

0206 Waves on the River

The river was in uproar as it ran over the weir.

0106 Miniature Railway

Miniature railway in Abbey Park, Leicester, strangely deserted today, despite the good weather and the crowds of people.
